Hi guys,

Bit of a newbie question I'm sure (there will definitely be more coming ) but I'm hoping somebody will help...

If I move a fleet, then transfer one of the ships to an existing fleet, how many APs can I utilise in the fleet I have transferred to?

e.g Fleet 101 has 2 x Pathfinder
Executes NM to planet A where fleet 102 is
Transfers 1 x Pathfinder to 102 (Which already had 1 Pathfinder)
Can 102 then use 2 APs?

Cheers in advance for any help.

No,

the pathfinder transfered to fleet 102 has already used 1 AP for its movement to planet A. So it has only 1 AP remaining. A fleet has only as much AP as its slowest ship, so the whole fleet 102 will be reduced to 1 AP.

Cool thanks....I guess otherwise there'd be a rather serious loophole where you could just keep transferring ships to other fleets to do loads of actions

There is also the problem that if you can't specify which ship you want to move if you have multiple of the same name. You also can't tell which ship is damaged in a group, but that is another discussion.
