Ok, I'm having some problems with this and cannot for the life of me figure it out. Here's the situation:
I've built up over the first 40 years of SPACE 70-some ships in a few dozen different task groups doing various things. They've all been under one TF, Fleet Headquarters.
I've reached the point where I want to divide command into two TFs, so I need to learn how to do this. I renamed the existing one to Sol Support Flotilla, and created a new TF called Sol Defense Fleet. So, remembering this thread, I've tried different approaches, none of which worked.
** Every time I create a new task group via the 'Task Group Orders' tab, it is automatically assigned to the SSF
even if I have the SDF selected in the Task Force dropdown. Ergo, even if I wanted to, I cannot simply create a bunch of new task groups, shift the ships over to those one-by-one, and delete the old TGs because I can't create TGs directly in the new Task Force. Both Task Forces are in the same location(Earth), though the SDF has no ships(because I can't put any into it
.
** Heading over to Naval Organization then, nothing over there works either. All that's listed in the big white 'Naval Organization' list to the left is the two TFs, none of the individual ships and there's no way to expand the tree like in Nibelung's screenshot. If I click on Create Task Group -- Branch Only I get 'Please select a branch on the organization chart' -- even though I have one of them selected. Doesn't matter whether I select the SDF or the SSF or neither one, I get the same message.
So what in the name of Armok am I supposed to do here?
