Fleets

[Fleets]

Allow the possibility to joins fleets. I feel alone in the space ;D

I'd like to make a fleet with 2 offensive ships and 3 cargo, for example, to carrie resources and protect them.

Take an example from Port Royale 2.

Thanks!

What about hiring wingmen to go from point to point or taking escort jobs?

Fleets would be awesome - also that would mean that if you have the opportunity to capture another ship without relinquishing your own. You could send your 1st officer over (if you have one). I hated having to give up the Vae Victus when I took a larger vessel.

Alternatively, you should be able to "beacon" your existing ship so that you can go and retrieve it later
i.e. Take a ship in the spoils of war, fly that new ship to a friendly planet, dry-dock that ship, then fly back in a shuttle to recover your previous ship.

I like the fleet idea it could come into play when we have player outpost and you need to protect it from a band of pirates.

I also like the beacon so you can possibly locate your abandoned ship.

Something i have been thinking about is all the battles that occur and the ships that could be salvaged for loot. The explorer class could get a bonus for salvaging. Not all captains have enough cargo space. (just an idea)
