I must be missing something, but I got no clue what.

If I have two fleets on the system and attack, only the fleet that I use appears on battle screeen (I was expecting the other fleet to "merge" in, at least that was what I understood from the Release Notes 2.0).
Q1: Do i always have to first merge my attacking fleets before engaging?

On the battle screen, I cannot move my ships to any other flotilla. My ships are stuck on flotilla 2

Q2: Is there a requirement before I can use the other flotillas? (e.g. number of ships) (i only got hero+2 ships atm)

(I see minimum 1 CP on lane 2, and i got 2 CP on my fleet, but no indications of CP for lanes 1 and 3)

Q3: Are we stuck on flotilla 2 always as the default?
(That will be a bit bad. e.g I have my ships set for long range, and i will not be able to use cards like Barrage Fire, since flotilla 2 is locked at medium range on that card, only flotilla 1 and 3 are on long range)

Thanks for the help,

This is the perfect example, I want to use this card:

This is great for my gameplay and strategy, but all my ships are locked on lane 2 (short-range) and my ships are all long-range, but the card has 2 other lanes.

All i want is to make use of lane 1, i dont even need to make more flotillas, just to pick the correct lane for my fleet.

Is this possible? or are the fleets looked on lane 2?

I'm sorry i don't know how it work,but more ship you have in 1 fleet more lane you will be abble to use

What does "CP" mean?

I'm guessing it's Command Point value of ships killed in the enemy fleet. Kill a scout, you don't get much Dust. Kill a carrier and you get a lot.

This is one of those things where if you play the game enough, you internalize the acronyms. But it will be very confusing to a new player.

Yes, CP is Command Points. 

When i am on the lanes, i can see mid lane saying "min 1CP" but if i try to drag a ship to the other lanes it doesn't allow me (i finally found where you can drag the ships, it is the small icons you see on advanced mode).

What i don't know, is if this restrictions of being forced to use middle lane is a preview only (they haven't implemented the rest) which is fine then, or a game feature that will continue to release (which makes several cards useless until you are able to use the other lanes). I guess the work around once you unlock other lanes is too move all ship the the real lane you want. Haven't found a way to unlock the other lanes yet.

Then, that's weird to use "CP", because everywhere else in the game, it's just referred as

So nobody has an answer on this?  I was also trying to figure out how to get my ships to use different flottila lanes.  I had a fleet of 4 ships, and could not figure out how to get any of them out of lane 2.  Frustrating.

As far as I know (I'm not a game dev in the studio :))

• CP = Command Point =
• Each ships "use"  a certain amount of CP, for example a small use 1, a medium 3 and a large costs 6 CP
• According to your Military tech, you have a maximum CP per fleet, it's 4 at the begining except for cravers with their faction traits "Big fleet II", which give them +2 CP (so 6 CP from start).
• When a Fleet reach 5 CP, you unlocked the top lane and the capabilities to have 2 flotillas.
• When a Fleet reach 10 CP, you unlocked the bottom lane, and the capabilities to have 3 flotillas.

To increase you maximum CP, you can research military tech like "Coordinated Command"

Ah ok, so you have to have 5+ CP in fleet to begin using the other flotilla lanes.  Thanks much for the info.

Thank you DarkHerumor. That makes sense.

I couldn't find the mechanism that was unlocking the flotillas.
