Space Empires V General
Two questions for you guys .
1. when saving my empire to start a new game is it possible to save all my ship designs SEIV had that option and I find it quite the pain in the butt to have to redesign all my ships for that empire when ever I want to start a new game.
2. In combat is it possible to stop your fighters from launching. I don't always want the fighters to run down and attack. Sometimes i just want to send 1 or 2 ships in and leave the rest of the fleet sitting where it is and the computer seems to auto launch my fighters and swam the enemy ships whether I like it or not.
You can turn the auto launch

You can turn the auto launch off in the strategies section.
Best way would be create some new strategies based on old ones and assign that to your carrier.
Reserving fighters
In combat it is possible to retain fighters on board ships by selecting fighter attack as a defensive tactic for the task force some will launch and attack as they are the carrier’s weapon. The other trick might be to have fighters on ships assigned to escort and use no fighter carrying ships as pickets. I need to play with this one in the simulator as I have not had a chance to play with that in the main game
