No, not those little empire flags... I mean the icons that appear when your ship is carrying troops, has a repair bay, etc. How many times have you selected a fleet and thought, "oh, that fleet doesn't have any troops/sats/whatever" because it doesn't have an icon next to it - and then you realize, fleets don't have those icons, so you go to check the individual ships in the fleet.

Summary: MM, please put those little icons on fleets as well as ships... heck, put 'em on sats too since you can put repair bays on them if you mod things right! (Imagine repairing 8 comps per turn for EVERY sat in a stack! woohoo!) And why not make it so you can use stellar manips and unit launch and emergency pods without disbanding the fleet, too?

Well Sir...it looks like the patch to be released on Wednesday will be adding some new letter identifiers for you!
