Was looking at some of the streams and was wondering a bit about the choices on the fleet templates.

What I noticed was that you could add a certain number of ships from each category and choose the ship type. I was just wondering why we can't just choose a ship type and a number of them in a fleet and what role that should serve ourselves?

I mean there are a high possibility we have several types of destroyers that are designed differently using different weapons and modules for example... why can't I then add two Destroyer A and four Destroyer B to my fleet for example?

It seem a bit restrictive if I can only include one version of each class into a fleet, especially when we get access to multiple hulls of each class as well?

At release, we will support one specified design per role in a fleet through the Fleet Template system. That covers I'd say the large majority of the use cases for the new fleet template system, but I agree it would be nice to support more than one design per role in the future.

You can also always manually control fleet formation and put whichever ships you want in the fleet, of many designs per role. As long as the AI is not in charge of that, it won't try to adjust the fleet composition to fit any given template.

Regards,

Ok... thanks... Using it manually is probably OK in the cases you want to use it and use the system as is for AI handled fleets.

Would be nice if we could do it in the future if possible... can see several reason why I would want the AI to handle such fleets.
