Summary0021314: Fleet Management screen: ability to swap ship lines between fleets (offensive fleets only).
DescriptionEach fleet may have a mix of ships that is not really ideal for your purposes, and you might want to do something like combine raiders and spiders into one fleet for whatever reason. Or have double raiders in one fleet, for another example.

This would basically let you take one type of unit from Fleet A, and exchange it with Fleet B. The more fleets you've captured, the more flexibility this then gives you to kind of reorganize things in ways that make sense to your situation rather than it being completely handed to you.

Thanks to RocketAssistedPuffin and MaxAstro for suggesting.

This could also make it possible to have really powerful "command" type flagships that would have more than normal shiptype-slots

For sure; those could be granted some sort of basic boring shiptype that you can fill with stuff from other ship types.

Thanks!

* The long-awaited ability to swap ship types between mobile fleets has now arrived!
** With this new ability, you can now fully theme your fleets as you like, while still having to work within the constraints of what you find.
** Note that when this ability is invoked, it scraps all of the ships that are being swapped across; this prevents you either from having orphaned ships way across the galaxy that you then have to get to the proper place by hand, OR from having the new ability to teleport ships across the galaxy inappropriately.
** Also please note that you can't swap in more ships of the exact same type that already exist in that fleet. So you can't have two groups of Raiders in one fleet, for instance. But you could have Raiders and Daggers (a Raiders variant) in there.
*** While we can see the appeal of having 3x raiders all in one fleet or something like that, it would be programmatically very difficult because you'd wind up losing a slot in the fleet with double-raiders, OR the display would get all funky.
