The developers of NEBULOUS: Fleet Command released an update focused on new features, such as fleet editing in lobbies and quick testing range. In addition, several in-game issues have been fixed.
Fleet Editing in Lobbies
The latest update introduces the ability to edit fleets while waiting in the lobby, either to kill time or make important adjustments to help players fit with their team. They can access the Fleet Editor directly from the Skirmish lobby by selecting the pencil icon found next to the fleet’s name. The fleet that is left open in the editor when returning to the lobby will be selected by default.
Quick Testing Range
Another feature introduced for the Fleet Editor is the ability to test fleets quickly. The currently loaded fleet will be your fleet, and you will be reminded from the fleet list to select a fleet to use as target dummies. However, AI is disabled in this feature, which means the ships are just static targets.
