I've noticed no matter what faction I play I'm seeing that ships don't always join the fleet that the planet is set to rally with. They'll follow that fleet but don't actually become a part of it. This is particularly true of the planet bombardment ships and then followed closely by Cruisers.
Siege vessels have auto-join switched off by default, so that's normal, same with scouts. As for other ships, I have seen this as well on rare occasions, but that was already before the current beta.
the only other ones i can think of are the anti-module ships and colonizer ships. Those, plus what stormsong listed are not supposed to auto-join. if you really want them to, i think you might be able to turn it on for that ship, but to do what you want you'd have to turn it on after its built but before it arrives in the same well as the fleet.
The more annoying problem is ships auto-joining the wrong fleets. as soon as they enter a well where there is a fleet, they auto-join. even if the rally point is set to a ship and that ship is part of a fleet.
I've noticed that all the cruisers, even with auto join enabled are not joining the fleets they are set to rally with or any other fleet they meet along the way. Even if the fleet they are to join is in the same gravity well that they were build they do not always joins as they should. So if I build 5 carriers, I may see the first 2 join the fleet as intended and the next 3 not join. Other times they all join just fine. This is just an example. I've been playing Varassi lately but I've notied it in all factions. I wasn't aware of the planet bombardment ships not suppose to be doing it, been a while since I played so I may of just forgotten.
if they are built in the same gravity well, that might be the issue. Anyhow, there are a lot of issues with fleet joining that are frustrating and most of us dont use fleets. I really insisted on using fleets for a long time, but then I realized how much time I was wasting just trying to maintain it.
If you can zip up a save game where this is happening to [email protected], we'll take a look at it.
Yarlen: See the same save file I just sent for your request on forum: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/405965. That issue has also occured in that file. Now that I know you are looking for save files like this, I will start to save a version of the game each time a new issue arises and not save over it from that point forward. I assume that will help in tracking down the issue.
