Fleet Procurement Manager

Fleet Procurement Manager

Create, save and order complete fleet templates with just a few clicks.

The Fleet Procurement Manager is designed to reduce fleet management, especially for larger fleets with carriers, destroyers, escorts and nested subordinate groups.

You can save complete fleet templates, order them across multiple shipyards and wharfs, automatically assign ships to the correct commander and group, capture existing fleets against a selected template, and automatically replace destroyed ships.

Main Features

Save and reuse complete fleet templates

Automatic assignment of commanders and subordinates

Hierarchical fleet structures with sub-commanders

Capture existing fleets and compare them with a selected template

Automatically order missing ships

Automatic replenishment of destroyed ships

Fleet tracking continues after save/load

How to Open

Open the Map and click the Fleet Procurement Manager button in the left sidebar.

Shipyard Selection & Priority

You can save up to 6 shipyards and wharfs for fleet procurement.

The selected stations are arranged in a priority order. The manager checks them from highest to lowest priority and uses the first suitable station that can build the required ship and equipment.

This allows you to combine shipyards from different factions and also include your own player-owned shipyards and wharfs.

Player Shipyard

Split Shipyard

Argon Shipyard

Teladi Wharf

If the player shipyard can build the required ship, it will be used. If it cannot, the manager checks the Split shipyard, then the Argon shipyard, and so on.

This makes it possible to use mixed fleets from different factions while still controlling which shipyards should be preferred.

Fleet Settings

Each managed fleet can use its own replenishment setting:

Automatic replacement is disabled for this fleet.

Safe Sectors Only

Lost ships are automatically replaced only while the fleet is in a safe/non-hostile sector.

All Sectors

Lost ships can also be replaced while the fleet is operating in hostile sectors.

The manager checks monitored fleets approximately every 30 seconds for changes, losses and required assignments. After a 5 Minute timer the order is sent.

These settings are stored separately for each fleet, so defensive and offensive fleets can use different replenishment behavior.

Existing Fleet Capture

Select the template you want to use, take control of the fleet commander and use “Capture Existing Fleet”.

The manager compares the current fleet with the selected template, reuses matching ships and orders any missing ships. Extra ships that are not part of the template are ignored.

How Ordering Works

Fleet orders use a two-step confirmation to prevent accidental purchases.

The manager can use different shipyards for different ship sizes, so XL/L ships can be ordered at shipyards while S/M ships are ordered at wharfs.

Once ships are completed, the manager assigns them according to the saved fleet hierarchy.

Known Limitation

X4 can occasionally show a different subordinate count for individual S/M ships, especially in carrier fleets.

In these cases, the displayed subordinate count may temporarily be off by one, showing either one ship missing or one extra, even though the fleet is tracked and assigned correctly. The display usually corrects itself after X4 updates the fleet state or after a reload

Compatibility

Tested with VRO. It should also work with Vanilla.
