Fleet Size

[nbsmda]

Will someone please confirm the amount of ships allowed in a fleet? I've read that it's nine (not including the player's home ship) but I only have eight ships in my fleet and Gren is no longer offering the dialogue necessary to upgrade the fleet system to nine, even though I have plenty of computer cores.

I've already best the main Watchtower quest if that matters.
I'm playing on a Series X.
I've already updated all of my installed creations including Watchtower.

Thanks for any information and help you can provide.

From the Watchtower FAQ's under section 4,

4. Is this compatible with Fleet Commander?
"Watchtower really only requires that you use one fleet ship from its mechanics for story purposes, and can eventually unlock slots for another 8 - which would be all the ships you can have in the base game.

If you are using mods to extend beyond 10 ships, it might be possible to use Fleet Commander for additional ships - though likely you'd run into performance issues."

Sounds like you sound be able to add one more for a total of ten ships including your home ship.
