Trouble with fleet joining in simultaneous |
So I have a 14 speed fleet and two 13 speed ships. I tell them to meet two hexes from their both positions. The ships are told to join the fleet.
On day 7 they both arrive at the meeting point, stay there for the day 8, then on day 9 the fleet leaves... without the 13 speed ships! (Then the fleet proceeds to a warp point for what has become a suicide mission)
What did I do wrong?

No, I've already managed to join a speed 20 ship with a speed 20 fleet in a similar way.
Re: Trouble with fleet joining in simultaneous
maybe they have to synch their movement. If they have the same speed it might work, and if for example one has 4 and the other 8 they might synch up as the first makes its second move when the second moves. 14 and 13 won't move on the same day so they don't synch. It's a theory although it doesn't seem a good way to set it up.
Re: Trouble with fleet joining in simultaneous
So they would have to LEAVE the sector on the same day? That's a good theory...

I've never used it myself. Romulus tried joining two fleets once during one of our wars but instead of one particular fleet joining the other, the one he had defending his planet flew off to the other.

It's possible the join fleet order might not be executed until day 30.
