Summary0024631: Elite unit bonus ship line count counts empty slots
DescriptionSee attached save game - fleet with ultima fusion bombers has:
- Transport
- Ultima bombers
- 5 ship lines
- Empty slot

Ultima bomber clearly states that for the bonus to apply, it requires "5 or fewer non-flagship, non-elite ship lines". The fleet has exactly 5. The other tooltip says bonuses are OFF, since there are 6 lines. Empty slot most likely counted.
TagsNo tags attached.

Forgot to mention - fleet on hotkey 5 is the one in question.

On second thought, it might just be counting elite units (including the one giving the bonus).
- Moved one ship line away to activate the bonus (now having bombers + 4 lines and active bonus)
- Added ireful MLRS corvette (elite unit), thus having ([E]bombers + [E]Corvettes + 4 lines) -> bonus deactivated

Elites are definitelly counted, despite the tooltip saying they ain't.
This is a big issue especially with tutelar pulsar tanks, which have a limit of 3 (this bug making it 2).

Save attached, fleet 5 again.

Ships from the FRS are not elite units. Elite units don't exist until DLC2. So the numbers you're seeing are correct.

You could in theory make a fleet comprised entirely of FRS units, if you wanted to and there were enough such units. Essentially, they all give the bonuses to each other and themselves. So they definitely count as a unit for purposes of ship lines, or you could also just stack like 4 of them in a given fleet with however many strong frigate lines, too.

Elites are basically cruisers and destroyers, and we may have some that wind up being designated as elite later from elsewhere. But essentially there's only one elite line that can go in any fleet, and for the moment I wouldn't want to designate FRS units as that, since then you couldn't have an FRS unit and a cruiser line at the same time, for instance.
