window to the top each time a ship was moved.

This is in the patch being worked on now. Hopefully that helps that problem.

I like the idea of having the fleet list display the class instead of the name. Have you sent that to Aaron?

listing the amount of a certain class per fleet would definetely help when balancing out a fleet. As of now i just wait for the battle report in the log to see how much i have in each fleet. I know it gives the ships per fleet, but that is only so useful.

My "workaround" for now is that I always make sure my ships names are identical to class names. Of course that means I have to manually rename every ship after every retrofit...

That's what I do already but when you have a never-ending scroll list that is not in any order it still tend to get messy...

Yes, this is a good idea. Maybe there ought to be a "collapsed" mode for fleets like there is for ship designs.

A simple list of the number of each class in a fleet would be really handy for managing larger fleets.
