Can't merge fleets anymore...?

[48 YEARS OLD VIRGIN]

Whenever I select fleets and press the Merge button, nothing happens. Did they change how it's done? I've tried everything but always end up with a bunch of Corvettes on their own.

Nothing changed about it. Are the fleets near each other already?

i had trouble merging with some free ships i got from the broken factory. but all other mergers work.

Yes, one 40 ship and the other 10 up to my max of 50. I select both 40 and 10, click Merge, it asks how many ships I want to merge, I say all of them... and nothing happens.

If any updates or repairs are going on with any of the ships, even just one of them, then they don't merge.

I dont know why, but a lot of the free/ event fleets have no command limit and can not be merged with any other ship

essentially whenever the command limit indicator for a fleet is just a number X instead of a relation X/Y you can not merge

Asks how many want to merge? I've never seen that question. The game either lets you merge or doesn't.
Mods?

not mods, the how many to merge pop-up is in the vanilla game if you merge by drag-and-drop instead of the merge hot-key

(you can drag a fleet partition onto another fleet if multiple fleets are selected)

[Elitewrecker PT]

Ah that right, I always use the merge key.

Some event ships cannot be merged.

Vanilla, no mods. The popup window that lists the ships you want to merge doesn't work. Clicking on it splits the ships instead of merging them.

An event fleet that can not merge with regular fleets or different hyperdrive/jumpdrive

thats actually not true either, the pirate raider event fleets, the warform general fleet, the nomad fleet and that one big repair ship can all be merged and they all are event fleets...

meanwhile the random 4 frigates/ corvetts/ destroyers or cruisers or whatever you get from the automated shipyard event can not be merged

to me it seems utterly random what is and is not mergeable...
why can I merge the pirate ships but not the frigates from the automated shipyard?
why can I merge the ancient warform event ship but not some completely ordinary cruisers or corvettes from a random event?

a lot of free event fleets can be merged
a lot of free event fleets can not be merged
no rhyme nor reason to it

Either you're trying to merge event ships or the ships total command limit goes above what your command limit can be.
