Cool, thanks for the information. For the time being sounds like I need to replace some of my smaller ships with larger ones, but as you said support costs cannot be ignored, so need to get my colonies cranking.
I was simply wondering about fleet size in general because I’ve run into fleets that were larger than mine both quantitatively and qualitatively, going to keep an eye out next time I run into a big one, I could swear they’re going over 30, some looked quite huge.
This is making me think perhaps I need to think in terms of more than one fleet with each set up for it’s own purpose. Battle fleet, exploration and bounty or something like that. And store at the colony the one I’m not using. Flying the current jack of all trades doesn’t feel well suited sometimes, like for example I can’t really do exploring with this current fleet, it eats too much supplies/fuel.
Anyone else using more than one fleet for different tasks?
