Need Shadows. :)

has a way to filter fleet ships out of the military sidepanel been added in Shadows?

Still wondering about this :)

Reinforcing fleets is one of the biggest timesinks for me in Legends, and this would go a long ways towards streamining the process.

Status: offline 		Reorganizing fleets if you want to take ship location into account can be a pain no matter the GUI.

When I build ships to strengthen fleets, I prefer to do that one fleet at a time for a simple reason.

1: Pause.
2: Order ships
3: Open ship list - military ships - sort on rising firepower.

Your new fleet members sit at the top.

This is a reason to keep at least one normal weapon on carriers and troop transports.

As I learnt from a Let's Play, new ships without sorting sit at the bottom of the ship list in the order they were booked. Starlab (I think it was) built multiple new fleets by booking ships one fleet at a time on the build order screen. His 4 ship fleets then sat at the bottom of the military list in a fleet by fleet order. Last 4, one fleet. Next 4, another fleet.

After release your cat will sit and glare at you when you don't pay him enough attention. ;)

On topic;

Watching the preview videos from Das, I do see that advisor spam is still in the game. :(

Just one example, he opens "build new ships" advisory and closes it at 5:40 making it go away... until 6:26 that is when it pops up again. A hole 46 seconds later.

I agree reinforcing fleets is a pain. I made a suggestion to Erik that there is an option added to auto reinforce fleets, even if they aren't automated. That way the player can build their own ships and organize fleets, send them to defensive locations and set their posture, and let them reinforce themselves so the player doesn't have to constantly do it manually. He said it is something they can consider.

Good Lord. You're right!

That would be the giant kaltor that is wobbling through space instead of chasing straight after your ships.

Didn't see any post about it going gold on Friday. So probably some days late.
Maybe no release next week then, but the week after instead.
