Fleet Numbering Issue - 5/7/2010 1:04:11 AM

Status: offline 		I'd like to mention one thing that I kind of have beef with that I never realized before.

When you create a new fleet and disband it, why can't the fleet number be reused? For instance, I had a "2nd Fleet" and then I disbanded it accidentally. When I re-created it, it became the "3rd Fleet," and so on. I cannot go back to the 2nd fleet; it is gone forever.

Can this be changed in the future? It's just annoying missing a fleet number. :-)

EDIT: Ignore. You can rename fleets. Sorry for the post. :-P

To rename a fleet, just go to the fleet menu, select it, and manually type in the name. I never realized I could do this.

Now you get to conquer her :)
Also, don't let her find out you did that.
