as much as I'd like to have custom ROs I think it is adding far too much complexity, so I'm going to agree with mch and go with an empty nub with qj5s - RO can orbit planets, join fleets (but still no split-fleet dodge w/ a fleet containing the RO) - and no SS.

Now other players will blame me for ruining their plans they had with their RO. Wink

As I said neither option is "better" than the other, they will just provide different game play ... just a matter of getting the RO balanced ... and I can think of a few other issues not mentioned yet.

Anyway, regarding the split fleet, this is kind of a moot point ... When you have two fleets at the same location of which one contains the RO and you split the fleet *without* the RO Stars! has already lost track of the fleets in orbit and fleets tracking the unsplit RO fleet might next turn be chasing parts of the other fleet.

Note that Stars! even sets your fleet to chase fleets you could *not* see in orbit (cloaks) the previous turn! Fleets that were *not* split from another fleet visible fleet in the previous turn.
Found this out the hard way, ruined a perfectly planned cloaked attack on an enemy AR HW ... Sad

I'm going to update the OP, if you're interested in playing/helping with the setup say so now.

I'm interested in playing ... either with a KISS RO or a pimped RO.
