I also think that is basically the game with those fixed relationships.
The fixed relationships take away agency, so we either go roleplaying or have to adjust the expectations.
E.g. i keep wobblys scouts out of o01eg's (my ally) space. He can't because they are at peace.
Sometimes LR shows up and then the fleets get repurposed.
yes, the fighter damage is missing in the fleet summary. that must have been "recent".
another thing: i get checksum errors (since two weeks or so). do we have a new version i missed?
