Command Ship (Fleet Templates)

Description This mod allows you to specify how many ships of each size you want on a fleet through the design of a Command Ship. By activating a special edict, the mod will use your spaceport locations to start building the necessary ships to fill out your fleet according to the amounts you specified. As long as the edict is active and you have the resources, if any of your fleets has less ships than the amounts set on its Command Ship's design, it'll continue creating ships and sending them to the respective fleet. The main objective is to remove some of the tedious micro managing of the middle and late game, while trying to alter the balance of vanilla Stellaris as little as possible. Something I've personally found a chore is to constantly keep your fleets "stocked" after battles, having to count ships, go through spaceports, and manage hundreds of little fleets going through half the galaxy to merge with your main fleet. This mod tries to automate this part of the game, with some caveats. The mod does not alter the AI in any way, and I tried to make Command Ships as uninstrusive as possible. There are several limitations in what Stellaris lets mods do that made it necessary to implement some workarounds to achieve this. Below you'll find a more detailed description of how the mod works, and I highly recommend you read it before using the mod. The Command Ship It has no attack, and stays in the back of the fight. You can specify how many ships of each size you want on a fleet by adding special utility components to the Command Ship's design. Each component adds a certain amount of ships, as in 10 Corvettes, 15 Destroyers, 25 Cruisers, etc. Although you can add these components to other ships, they don't give you any benefits at all. Their sole purpose is for the mod to know how many of each ship size you want on each fleet. Adding the same exact component more than once to the Command Ship's design will have no effect, but you can combine any of them otherwise. I
