All-Fleets Combat Mode

[matt3916]

Was somewhat surprised to see this "on" as the default option, especially since this is new to the release version.

Have the existing campaign or scenarios been testing/balanced using this mode?

Any recommendations from the developers as to whether to use this mode (other than the "may affect performance and balance" warning)?

I mean I didn't have the game while the option WASN'T A thing, only got it a day or two ago but I've used it for the entirety of this first playthrough so far with no real issues on anything that I have been able to notice.

The All Fleets Mode was a quite recent addition to the game, born out of our combat overhaul based on player feedback. We wanted to make the default option since we felt it was cooler and improved the whole experience, but didn't want to remove the "original" single fleet combat mode as an option because some players could like that more, and it would also make the game run better on weaker computers.
The all fleets mode makes the combat potentially 3 times bigger, while it reduces the amount of individual combats, and changes the strategic game play a little bit since you can't for example push three weaker enemy fleets out of a system with a single stronger one by engaging only one of those fleets, like you could in single fleet mode.
