Help: Fleet system does not work

[NellDrakeBane]

I upgraded to 4 ships fleet. But every time when I assign a crew to a ship, the last assigned crew is unassigned, and this leads to the result of 1 ship fleet.
Do I need to more than 2 crews? or is there any requirement to let a ship follow my ship?
This issue seems to occur only to me, so I wonder if other mod related to ships or companions may cause this issue.
I have several mods installed, but mods related to ships or crews is only this: Sit To Add Ship to Fleet, https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/6493

Each fleet ship requires a pilot in order to be used. Do you mean you only have 2 crew members available? If so, then yes you need to have more, one for each ship.

I'm running into the same thing. I'm unable to add pilots specifically. Can crew ships but they will not follow except for the first one I crewed

There is a bug currently occuring where fleet ships are not following, as mentioned in this thread - this will be fixed in the next patch update.

The pilot comment sounds like this one, and I will refer to our lead developer's comment.

"It sounds like there's some confusion on what assigning crew vs assigning a pilot do. The latter option only changes the pilot of a ship to another crew member, while the former assigns crew to the ship and, if said ship does not have a pilot yet, assigns them as the pilot."

I was reading the thread for the first one. Have three ships in my fleet but only 1 will appere. (Not appere and fly off) Second thread. From what it sounds like if you have two crew it lets you switch pilots. Even with two crew it won't let me make one a pilot.

I was confused about the Assign-Crew and Assign-Pilot, but it seems that, at least, if you assign someone to Pilot, the piloted ship follows you.
I am actually still confused, but at least if I do the following steps, the ships follow my Home Ship in space;
step1. I Assign-Crew 2 persons, then
step2. I Assign-Pilot one of the assigned crews.

P.S. when I have 10 or 12 companions and assign them to 5 or 6 ships, I sometimes fail to remember who is assigned to which ship. So if you have weak brain-memory like me, it is better to write down who is assigned to which ship.
Good luck with your space journey //

The pilot option isn't really of any importance other than flavour - functionally, a ship just needs at least one person to be assigned to it and it should follow.

Ok. That helped me get less confused. Thank you.
