It's basic, but I admit I don't know if there is a solution. Is it possible to move several ships at once from one fleet to another? Ctrl-click does not work for multi-selection, but I can't imagine that after all these years Steve is still moving 36 fighters, one click at a time, from one fleet to another (fighters, FACs, or whatever; you get the idea!).

Multi-select works on the ship list for each fleet. Use shift-click or ctrl-click to select, then detach and drag to target.

Or set your fighters up in a strikegroup using squadrons and then detach that.

Here's something interesting - playing a race using microwaves, I disabled the sensors of another player race's ship. The ship using microwaves no longer showed up on any sensors, nor any contact list, nor could the ship be targeted in the Ship Combat tab. However, since the microwave-using ship was still assigned to the other ship as a target, the other ship was still able to fire upon and damage the microwave ship. Is this intended behaviour?

That's a cool design approach! But what about jump drives? Do you need one for each, of the appropriate category?
Do you regret not adding a few "sublight propellers" to the military section?

Yep, they both need their own jump drives. It's not a very efficient system! But the role-play is fun.
The military section does have its own engines, etc. It's fully self-sufficient besides the relatively short range. I just didn't want to try my chances against the giant Romulan fleet without backup -- although it turned out most of the ships were very old, so the fight ended up being a bit of a turkey shoot.

See attached pic

I see in the attached pic that your decimal separator looks suspiciously like a comma instead of a dot.
Known issues, the very first one: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10637.0

Thx.

If I've understood the devlogs correctly, the answer is all of the above and everything in between.

You play a single individual, but what that individual can do is extremely wide and varied.
Your character can be an independent trader, a CEO of a small or large corporation, a rebel leader, a member of government with various political parties to choose from, a leader of government (again, many parties, but also many tiers from mayor to president), a ship captain, a soldier in some kind of army (rebel or loyalist), and probably more that either haven't been talked about or I am simply forgetting.
