I'm currently in a war from both sides, and reinforced my secondary fleet. 7 cruisers, 8 corvettes, 4 destroyers queued up. spent all my alloys making those. it's like a year later and...there's nothing. the shipyards finished ages ago, but the ships are nowhere to be found. is this a known bug? they never joined with the fleet they were designated for, and I don't see any indication of them being en route to it either. kinda important since there's a fleet twice the size of it heading its way...

edit: oh okay, it's just taking ABSOLUTELY FOREVER for the reinforcements to arrive through subspace or whatever, kinda wish it indicated they were en route though.

There's a bug where reinforced ships get stuck in transit for literal years instead of months, no fix in sight.

Yeah I'm suspecting that they at some point changed the code so fleet reinforcement causes all the new ships to use ftl to get to their fleets. Hence the crazy ETAs and them not showingon the map.

Better for now to just manually queue a bunch of reinforcement ships as needed, manually merge them where needed, and write the fleet manager off entirely unless you're refitting.

It looks like the reinforcements do use gateways though, When the fleet station and the shipyard both have gateways the "fleet reinforcements enroute" icon just blinks on and then off again immediately, and the ships show up at the destination.
But why oh why to they refuse to use any warp line transit, and insist on FTL or gateway only? That.. shouldn't be hard to fix in code. Or if it is it means that code is _badly_ spagettified.

There was a bug where reinforcements in transit would reappear and split off into millions of tiny one ship fleets if the fleet they were reinforcing got into combat. They applied a fix for it last patch but I'm guessing Something Went Wrong and now they're looping halfway around the galaxy or something.

Could also be related to fixing the exploit where having one fast ship makes the whole fleet go faster, if that makes the reinforce mechanic think the ships have no engines or something.

What are you talking about, it's perfectly normal to have thirty-three thousand destroyers in a single fleet.

I wonder if that many destroyers could just wipe out anything in the game... or if it'd just murder your computer first.

The later for sure. The destroyers need to get to their target first, after all.

Eh. Kinda hard to find much interest in it atm, it just aggressively avoids giving proper details beyond the usual species pack stuff and "events probably".

Our glorious political masters have, in their wisdom, decided to form an alliance with a rag-tag bunch of freedom fighters right when the Federation has us at a tactical disadvantage. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in the Feds firing on our vessels...

Awesome. Looks like some kind of new terraforming mechanism too, probs like the Gaia upgrade origin but ideally less fiddly.

Was that a colossus, but for terraforming? If so, cool. I do like my psychic space dolphins, so I'm curious to find out more. Given recent trends, the aquatic species will surely have their own special traits.

It does appear that you can make a terraforming colossus. I am excited for this option.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Finally! Now I can make proper aquatic species.

Also: Ugh, now I have to remake so many goddamn empires...

The shipset looks nice, from what I could see in the short clip. This is definitely a first-day-buy for me.

The game is actually in pretty good shape right now. What gave you the impression that it is so buggy as hell? Like yeah there are some bugs here and there and still don't if the old warts but overall the game is pretty dang good right now.

Found out today that if you are at war with someone, and then they are declared the galactic crisis and the whole galactic community starts a new war with them, your fleets get kicked out of their space and into emergency ftl. That was unpleasant.
