Summary0024836: Remove "Lone Wolf" Concept
DescriptionThere was a discussion on Discord about removing the concept of Lone Wolf officers.

It only applies to 3 ships right now:

hive golem
lone spire frigate
botnet

But they might need balancing once you can boost them to high heaven with elite ships.

If we do this, update the journal entry I'm writing in https://bugtracker.arcengames.com/view.php?id=24835 to cover it (just delete the line likely).
TagsNo tags attached.

Honestly, I'd prefer to keep lone wolf fleets as a concept and expand upon them a bit more. They add diversity to flagships other than "All flagships are also fleet carriers"

They're lone wolf because they may be a bit too powerful if they're allowed to generate units. (e.g. railpod or cluster bomb to cover botnet's weakness)

Of course, a similar effect could be done by stacking a lone wolf with a transport, but at least they can attack said transport with a bit less effort.

Done a bit ago, thanks for posting the reminder for me at the time!
