Question about squads and command structures

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

Hi there,

If I have a Taranis who is commanding 4 Rahanas hulls and I order the Taranis to Join My Squad, will the Rahanas hulls follow the Taranis when it jumps to my Zone? Similarly, if the Taranis was order to fly somewhere, will the Rahanas hulls follow it?

I've only tested this a bit and it seems like the Rahanas hulls just sit around but maybe my testing wasn't ideal. I hoped that ships would follow their leader so I could minimise the number of orders given but I suspect this relates to the general issue of poor control over fleets that has been raised numerous times.

Thanks in advance,
Sparks

The Rahannas do not follow the Taranis.

The entire group is added to your squad but the Rahannas seem to remain where they were when they were requested to follow the Taranis.

I am not sure if they are then available in the trade menu while they remain nested under the Taranis in the Ship/Squad list.

Cheers, ghreab,

Do you happen to know whether that something about them being non-combat ships or does this tend to happen with any nested ships?

Vanilla fleet commands are not present.

You can nest the rahannas under the Taranis then use MCE (Manual Command Extension) on the rahanases to escort the Taranis.

It's what I do at the present game.

Cool, thanks for the clarification.
