Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
Of course! Why wouldn't it? Although, a fleet of mothballed ships retains its experience, and can even be trained!

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
IF: Make up your mind! Does mothballing ships remove any gained experience, or not???  |

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
I think IF meant that ships lose exp, but FLEETS keep it. So if you mothball an entire fleet, it would keep its training while any exp the individual ships have would be lost.
Cheers!

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
You can't mothball ships in a fleet--they don't show up in the Scrap/Analyze/Mothball window. You have to remove them from the fleet first.

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
I must need more coffee. KRSQK is right. I knew you couldnt mothball fleets. Hmmmm...
<Trajan steps out across the street to the Cantina for some coffee.>
One more use for mothballing ships/bases. I mothball my bases as I move from system to sytem. Since I use bases as worm hole defenses, and cannot move bases as my empire grows, I mothball them for future emergency defense use.
Cheers!

Once you mothballed the ships, they can be added to a fleet. IIRC you have to remove them from the fleet to unmothball, then return to the fleet.
I do this often just for housekeeping purposes. Fleeting mothballed, or under repair ships with a repair space station. Just makes the screen neater.
However, I can see this as an exploit, this may be why bases can no longer fleet. But the exploit is still there -- as long as one ship remains part of a fleet, fleet experience never gets lost.
Oh well, we're all on our own recognizance I guess |

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
Actually, I remove my ships from fleets and mothball them. I often have six or seven fleets with one repair ship in them gaining experience at a training facility.
When I unmothball the ships I just add them to the existing Veteran "Fleets".
I guess the more important question is "Does the ship experience stack with fleet experience."
