Will federation-fleets be incorporated into the fleet-designer at some point?

[jeromedekiller]

The fleet-designer was, in my opinion, the best feature added in 2.0. It is, therefore, a bit unfortunate that it currently doesn't work with federation-fleets. Are there currently any plans to incorporate federation-fleets into the fleet-designer system?

They have their own fleet designer that you can access through the federation button and going to the second tab. Mind though that the AI will always their own autobest version, so when you design new ships, the AI will create his own and you end up with so many different designs .

I think jeromedekiller meant fleet manager for Federation. Federation has its own Ship designer - that is what you speak of, but in 2.0 the fleet manager was added (the place where you set what ship types and how many of them are in one fleet + you can "reinforce" lost ships with a single button there).

In this bug report it is explained very well: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...f368-federation-fleets.1090696/#post-24211085

Federation fleets have one terrible game damaging BUG... when you open Fleet manager of Federation fleet and you press to replace/retrofit some ship design to another ship model you are presented only with list of your own "Player" ship designs, not with the ship designs from Federation ship designer.

meaning if your Player Battleships are named "BS1", "BS2", and Federation autodesigner battleship is named F1, and you design your own version of federation battleship F2 in fed ship designer... now open your main Federation fleet managere, click the retrofit button on F1 ships.. you will be presented with BS1, BS2, but not F2. If you choose BS1 or BS2, it will simply turn the "upgrade"marker on the fed fleet on.. and when you send it to the shipyard, it will simply get stuck at 0% all the time... You are unable to cancel the retrofit to BS1/BS2, because you are unable to choose any ship from federation list... When you get stuck like this, The only way to disband these nonpgrradeable/stuck Federation ships and spend tons of resources for rebuilding.

I think this has been posted long time ago, and still has not been fixed.

According to my experience when you select the fleet ships to be retrofitted to "BS1 or 2" designs, they will retrofit but once the upgrade is finished the ships are permanently yours and it no longer counts as "federation fleet" but "player fleet" and so it cannot be used by other federation members and all the upkeep goes to your economy.

Speaking of which, anybody else find it wierd that only the ruling nation can build federation fleet? One would think that all nations would contribute to joint defense
