Stellaris - Derelict Cruiser cannot be merged into fleets (2024)

fusei said:

It's not entirely arbitrary, the ships that can't be merged are also the ones that don't use naval capacity and since this is handled on a fleet basis you can't add any ships to the fleet to prevent you from having a full fleet not using naval capacity.

I thought this was the case as well, but I edited the event and removed
settings = {
can_upgrade = no
can_change_composition = no
uses_naval_capacity = no
}
Even after removing these lines the ship still cannot merge with any fleet. I am stuck as to how to make this ship able to merge. It irritates me so...

Just to make sure, did you make the edit before the event fired?

Merging event ships is nice, but usually breaks fleet manager after a while. Its a choice between pest and cholera. If u cannot merge the ships die fast and are basically useless. If u do merge ur fleet is very vulnerable to break after a while.

It's my experience that fleet manager can break even without event ships.

Not saying you're wrong, but it feels to me like you're not getting reliable protection even if you just immediately disband event ships.

So fleet manager seems to break when reinforcing/upgrading ships, I cant be sure of the circ*mstances, I just roll along with it and fix fleet manager as I go. Having ships that can't be merged just makes them "not worth taking" in my opinion - it adds to micromanagement and because the ship is "isolated" from a fleet, it gets murdered really easily.

Making them all mergeable is more helpful than not- I think anyway.

I did. I think the solution may be the creation of the fleet itself and not the ship. I'm testing some other changes today to see if my hunch is correct.

Hello!

Thank you for the report!

This is working as designed.

I figured out to get event ships to merge with all fleets. The event ships that cannot merge are missing this line, in bold italics, in the script:

create_fleet = {
name = "NAME_New_Ship"
settings = {
spawn_debris = no
}

By simply adding that one line in all events that provide ships that cannot be merged this should allow merger. You also need to remove these to force the ship to use naval capacity and allow upgrades:

settings = {
can_upgrade = no
can_change_composition = no
uses_naval_capacity = no
}
