NPC Fleet Template Upgrade - Size Expansion

[Quietus]

Fleet Template​

Over the past few months we've had a consistent request to broaden the horizon on our original Task Force Fleet Template which allowed for only smaller fleets. The Task Force template was used as Codex's test-run into the Fleet template usage with the goal to help make fleeting a bit more approachable to less experienced or newer members. The results have looked pretty good.

So we've expanded the limitations on our Fleet template with a new maximum meterage of 15km (set to match the T6 Company limit). Fleet and ship sizes are still controlled by the rule-sets in place within the Factory depending on faction status and company tier, but we hope this will open up new opportunities for fleeting and give you battle-crazy nuts a new way to organize your space toys.

Without further adieu, the new Fleet Template:

This template may be used to construct a fleet of various sizes for various designations.

Your meterage allowances for lead ship and fleet total can be referenced in the factory rules here.
