Bio-Ships and Fleet Manager

[Hermaan]

Would it be a good idea to add something like a checkbox to the fleet manager when using bio-ships to enable reinforcements being build as juveniles instead of expensive adults? I feel like recovering after a war is expensive if you dont manually change fleet composition to account for this or tedious if you do.

Agreed, when bioships grow up, it just switches everything over to the mature or elder variations. It would be nice if we can just grow juveniles and wait for them to mature.

It would be really nice to have this feature! Because I also like to build my fleets as juveniles and just wait a while for them to grow up.

I might want this on a per fleet basis, rather than a global setting,. But I'm sure that would be harder to implement.

Yes! That‘s also what I meant. Maybe should‘ve made it clearer.

Another thing related to this, and I don't know if it's a bug or not. But juvenile ships have smaller naval cap use, and as they grow up you can go above your naval cap, there's no warning for this and I'm not sure it should even be like that. It's very hard to plan for.

If it's by design then perhaps some rework for the UI could be done to show you where you will end up.

On the topic itself, it's a good idea.

On this, it should be a policy setting.
