Building Convoy Ships?

[lamburgs]

Hello, I have searched the forums and I seem to be at a loss. How do i build convoy ships now? I can see I can build DD, SS etc but I dont see a icon for a convoy.

Thanks,

They should be there. Same place as the rest of the ships.

Ugh, I ran into this bug too.

Basically it wont let me go back to a main menu of all ships (which has the convoys.)

You need to unclick the ship class filter, and it will come back to the top of the list.

I just came back after 6 months. Mack is right. Why did they do that and not list it with the other ship icons? Who knows. Wow, everybody in the forums were right about the fleet interface.

Yeah I tried toggling the filters and it was not doing it. I ended up loading an autosave after the next autosave then the toggle worked.

This. You need to click on the highlighted ship among the filters buttons in order to turn filtering off so that it will show all ships in one big list. You also need to have the ship role filter off - it needs to be set to the asterisk. When you do this, convoys will be at the top of the list. And no you don't need to show outdated designs.

I think that is the important part.

I tried it but it did not work because I do not think I did it in the right order. I think I just clicked through the icons.

So to fix missing convoy option would be more like this:
1. Set role to asterisk.
2. Tap the ship hull type until it toggles off.

I swear the naval UI is kinda frustrating, between this and the refit crap earlier. Not to mention the occaisonal, why wont this fleet move here?
