I really like battles right now and how they are evolving. I'm all in with the minor participation in them as we are the ruler and not a fleet commander. My only problem with all of this is that my great army of unstopable destruction has 6 ships in it... top. I rule half the galaxy, literally... and I have 6 ships in a fleet... doesn't feel right.


My idea is building fleets/squadrons instead of single ships. The design of the ships could stay the same, the animations the same, only more ships. 

For example, the samller ships would build groups of, i don't know, let's say 6 ships of the design in the fleet screen. The medium/big would build 2 or 3. The biggest ones that are suppossed to be huge battleships would only creat one.


Having bigger fleets (in numbers) would give more realism to battles. Also, It could open the way to different commands applicable only to certain ships (eg, order 3+ squads of small ships to "shield" the bigger ones by flying around them and being  primary targets oooor making the smaller ships to fly very close to a support ship and being partially protect by the shield of the bigger ship). This are in fact strategies that you could choose as an emperor to work without micromanaging what actually happens IN the battle.

play the game for another 10 turns or about 1 more era and you'll be able to get nice, big fleets with upwards of 24 ships lol

A great idea but my concern would be will it have performance issues on less powerful PCs?


Remember Fighters /Bombers are not released yet. I am sure when they enter the game the battles will be more demanding on the hardware.

I've won the game a few times already and that sounds to me like: "Ok, give 24 of your smallest ships, nono, not those that take more than 1 CP, the small ones, those there that dies quikcly"... I meant more like "Ok, I am the ruler of an empire form by 20 or so planets and my biggest fleet has 4 big ships..." Still, seems wrong.

I also thought the same thing, specially in the performance issues because of the level of detail. Whatever will be, the games is still awesome. I'll enjoy it anyway.

I'm looking foward for those Fighters/ Bombers too. They could seriously change how battles look as well the balance in them.
