Arghhhh, my poor merc fleets. I love them so much, but they are so janky T_T
When they were introduce I quickly noticed that you had zero way to tell what fleets were a Merc fleet being rented, and you had no way to know when they were used against you. This was a **MASSIVE** issue because AI would wreck you with your own fleets and you had no way to know, and if you have 5+ Merc Enclaves you literally can't afford to try and figure out which Enclave the fleet is from.
One of the recent updates finally fixed it, to where you could at least click the button to talk to the owner of the Merc fleet and tell them to return home if they were being used against you.
Welp, in the latest update, it's broke again and there's zero way to tell who owns a merc fleet. I was about to attack this guy, when I did a double take trying to figure out why he has a 110K fleet while the rest of his fleets are like 20K. Then I realized it's one of my 4 Merc fleets. Which one? Heck if I know!
Clicking the "go to" button takes you to the fleet. It says their home starbase is the one they are parked at, and clicking the flag emblem just opens up the diplomacy with the AI empire renting them.
I have literally no way to figure out which of my Merc Enclaves is being used against me, and now I can't attack this empire without taking horrendous losses
