Federation Fleet Management is Wonkitated

[shadowclasper]

Is it just me? or can I not pick anything except my own personal empire ship options for adding ships to a Federation fleet? And it counts the federation fleet size (in the fleet manager) as part of my own over all fleet value rather than it's own separate thing (though no penalties are applied), and the allies can all make and send allied fleet vessels to join my thing, but they will build without care.

Could you guys please add a tab to the fleet manager (and the ship manager) for the Federation Fleet stuff? Make it easier to find and access, and not mix it up with the normal, empire fleet, stuff? It'd be really really helpful? Plus, that way you could create federation fleet templates, and the allied AI could build federation fleet ships to match the templates you designed! Rather than just building endless corvettes.

The federation fleet management overall needs some drastic changes, it's just shit as it's right now. At least give me as the federation president the option to reinforce the fleet after a fight and it would be great if I could actually create a template for it but I guess that's more difficuilt with members contributing ships.

Federation right now feels mostly meh.

Gives you a (nearly) free fleet, which is great, but probably not quite balanced.
Sometimes annoying if you want to declare but the AI has other ideas. Meanwhile, if they want to fight a war, but you don't, expect to be spammed by requests into submission...
As far as internal diplomacy or anything goes, basically nothing.

I agree that the managment of the Federation Fleet is a mess right now. Not just the 0 upkeep fleet it gives u and that it is counted as you own fleet but also that it is shown in the standart fleet managment but there it is extremly buggy. That it is buggy in the fleet managment annys me the most.
But u can change the federation ship design but u still have to do that through the Federation interfeace.

Fed Fleet management as others have said is pretty meh, plus I always get stuck with a 35 Corvet 20 Destroyer fleet at all times, and any time one gets blown up the game immediately tries to replace it, resulting in like half a dozen (or more) one-ship fleets scurrying across the galaxy and making a mess of my own fleet manager...

exactly. The federation fleet needs it's own fleet manager that tracks it's own naval limits.

It's easy enough to simply not look at those notices, with a little practice.

As for the topic, I've pretty much given up on using the manager for the Federation fleet. After a while there's nothing to manage anyway, once you have your 500-cap doomstack up and running.
