Summary0022176: Lone Wolf fleets and support fleets have empty slots to take ship lines
DescriptionI'm not sure if this is intended or not, but I picked up a spire frigate with the tribeam that's a lone wolf fleet. It has 5 empty slots and I can put ships into it. Probably not intended, but you never know.

The same goes for any support fleet. They have empty slots as well, which you can load with combat ships.

Support Fleets we allowed to on purpose.

Lone Wolves...yeah, problem.

I can't actually think of a reason to allow that for support fleets. The factories are slow, and give their factory effect to other fleets anyway. My thought was defense fleets, but the lack of a rapid response transport hurts that.

Obviously I am not being creative enough, but I can't think of a use.

It was kind of more...we found they gained that ability by accident, but it was decided there was no harm in allowing it, for the reasons you stated.

People have put Forcefield Frigates in them, and things like Auto Bombs or Railpods go well (suicide units), if nothing else.

I was using it to store spare fleets that I didn't want on my main fleets. Ones who were under mark. Autobombs though sound like a great addition to them, as if they go down, they can't produce autobombs anyways.

Makes some sense, although I still think that having fleets able to attach to "Nothing" and simply not being in play would make more sense.

Autobombs though, and anything else highly expendable (Self Attritioning, cheap) works better in a home defense fleet or with a factory, so that makes sense.

I kind of prefer being able to gather shipslines in lone fleets. Needing less mobile flagships makes the sidebar UI less crowded in late games which isn't trivial. Officers plus Mobile Strike plus Support plus Lone Wolf plus Battlestations can make scrolling and managing pretty annoying 15 hours in.

Particularly when playing with 1.5 or 2.0 more stuff than default.

Does have an interaction with Eyes, being able to do this.

Anyone have a save game with a lone wolf fleet next to a regular fleet so I can test this?

Lone Wolf flagships can no longer have ship lines swapped to them.
