Just an idea for a Patch or SEV...

[Ragnarok]

I came up with an idea for the next patch or SEV. I think once you design a few ships, you can make a "Fleet Package" type thing where you can select how many of one ship is in it or which ones are in it, and you just select ONE of these to put in the queue and it builds those ships that are in the "Fleet Package". But doing so would save some minirals/organics/radioactives. And also only certain types of shipyard facilties can build these "Fleet Packages". Maybe name it like "Fleet Ship Yard". This is just an idea I dreamt up and thought would be cool. Give me some feedback as to if you think it'd be cool too or if you think it'd be a bad idea.

For a similar effect, build 10 factory bases.
- one builds repair ships.
- one builds construction/retrofit ships.
- two build PD boats.
- four build BC attack ships
- two build DN attack ships

The ships all pop out at about the same time, form a fleet and go smash some bad guys.

It doesn't save you any resources, but you can use Fill Queue on the Construction screen to define the ships for a fleet.

A little juggling with Reorder Queue and you can have different shipyards building different ships from the list simultaneously.
