    hello everyone
    I just feel like explaning how to make detactable ships for your fleet to upgrade them so you have the preks of being a fleet without having to wait before the Drone ships follow you (cause you carry them)
    well then first things first

    1 The ships
    first up you got to have 3 ships
    One big ship which you control yourself and 2 Small AI Ships
    All of them Must be able to fly (i recommand the Mobility reactor chamber set to Anti-Gravity for this)
    and all the weapons and such must be connected (you khow basic ship building)
    The flagship should have atleast One rail basic for each ship but you can also use rail unloaders
    Also the flagship must have a pickup Point which docks a ship whenever its rail docker comes close to it
    with a series of Pickup Rails (how futher it is how easyer for a AI ship it becomes to dock themself)

    2 Logic
    For this you need Wireless modules (2 for each ship)
    in the AI ship put one Wireless module and in the Flag ship (your ship) also one
    Link the Wireless module to the Rail docker and the wireless module to the wireless module in your flagship (linking wireless moduels must be done in Astronaut mode...cant be done in Piliot or build mode)
    also its a good idea to put a Inner Ship remote and link it with the Wireless modules on the flagship

    3 Linking them
    First up create a fleet with the ships with your ship as the flagship
    Then take control of the AI ships and move them close to your ship so that the Pickup point will pick them up and dock them to your main ship
    You only have to do this once per AI ship ...so 2 AI ships means you have to do it 2 times

    4 Fleet control
    so now we have All the things needed
    The AI's are controlled by using the Fleets tab
    the funny thing is you can give them orders Before you detach them
    but aside that...you can use the inner ship remote to detach them (Note due to something you can only detach them One by One)
    if you want your AI's back just uses the Fleet order "Carrier recall" which will return the Ai Ships back to your ship and then dock to there asigned points (and possable drop there inventory to the flagship if the dock points are Rail unloaders)

    Hope this will help making your own Multi ships ^^
