hi guys,

I'm trying to combine 3 dreads into a fleet and it doesn't seem to work. heck, it doesn't work with 2 either.

I am playing with the Sophonts btw and the only tech regarding fleets I seem to find is "Improved fleet management" which I have already researched.

Any idea ?

Tried the merge button on them when in separate fleets? Any heroes conflicting?

Do they have the same amount of moves left? I've had trouble merging a fleet that has just entered the system with one that had just came from the hanger.

they are just 3 dreads in a hangar, new turn, etc. trying selecting them all and create new fleet, doesn't work. merging them doesn't work either.

no heroes btw, should I have a hero control them ?

Have you tried with less that 3 dreads? I had a similar problem and it seems to be something with the amount of ships I was trying to put into the fleet.

it doesn't work with 2 dreads either, just with 1.

command points ? How do I see them and how do I increase them if I don't have enough ?

on the fleet screen they are labelled CMD - basically the number on the right is your maximum command points you can have in a fleet - and ships cost command points to build (i think dreads are either 4 or 5 cant remember) - various techs increase your command points so you can have more in a fleet (by the end of my last game i had 15 command points per fleet - so usually had 2 dreads, 2 battleships)

in the fleet window, are the command points for that fleet the icon resembling an antenna ?

if yes, I have 4/7 with one dread.

You can go max with 23 if memory serves. (including craver fleet bonus)

Dreads cost 4 points each I think, hence if you have just Improved fleet management, it brings you to 7 Command points, which shouldn't be enough...

Take a look at the left tech tree.

so yeah you dont have enough to have 2 dreads in your fleet (you have a maximum of 7 at the moment and a dread is 4 points) - the lefthand tech branch is where you go to choose the techs which increase your command points
