Not an ideal solution but I do this with the fleet screen and work by company. Depending on my empire size I set a limit for the maximum number of ships allowed by a firm, every few years I click through each company and check their total ship numbers, any company that exceeds this number I delete. Soon enough the other firms grow to fill the gap and new firms pop up so it's an endless cycle and you only ever suffer a minor dip in transports for a short time.

Not ideal but sounds good at least - thank you!

That's precisely what I do too

Does NPR civilian fleets work the same way player ones do? Do they also have internal comodity markets?
I once played with civilian fleet disabled to limit lag, only to see that NPR has enormous civilian traffic.

empire comparison has a civ tonnage display.

wish they'd just start actually building bigger ships instead of ever more of them

So given that about 95% of lag in the game comes from civilian shipping (by my personal timings) is there a good way to track the total number of civilian ships?

Such that I can experiment with what levels produce acceptable performance for me and go and prune them down when a certain number is reached?


I'd also suggest that the player could set this limit mechanically but I see that has already been suggested many times so I stick to this ask!
Thanks!
