I can add a ship to a fleet of 3 to make a fleet of 4.
When I try to add 1 to a fleet of 4 it does not take it.
Just tried it withtrying to make a fleet of 6.
It seems there is a cap of 4 to a fleet of my cutter M5
It's dependent on the capacity of the fleet. You probably have a maximum capacity of 12. The small ships, like the cutter, defender and gunboat take 3 capacity, so your maximum number of ships will then be 4. Research can improve the capacity (I think you have to look for "logistics" in one of the trees but I'm not sure).
As the post above says, you need to research techs that increase your logistics capacity to add more ships to a fleet. If you click on a fleet it will state the current capacity and how much that fleet is using in the bottom left of the screen.
I had some techs in that are. It seems not enough. Now I am at 6 ships.
Each ship takes up a different amount of space (Logistics) in a fleet based on it's ship size. So you can a fleet with a bunch of small ships, but only a couple big ships since they need more "room" in the fleet.
There was a post earlier on the value of the size of ships which I think is in one of our Folders. Gunathor had posted what he found.
Tiny ships are 1
Small are 3
Medium are 5
large are 7
If you have the first 3 tiers of logistics I (THINK) including the one that opens for a +2 you will have 18?
So you can do (6 small) or (3 medium and 2 tiny) or (2 large and 1 medium).
I am not 100% sure on the values for tiny and I may be really off. Hope this helps somewhat.
