Description

I would like to have a more strategic component in Jumpship / Warship travel, e.g. you want to “scout” a particular system first before you jump in with your main fleet. Or you want to split your forces attacking two different systems simultaneously. Both options require that Jumpships / Warships or fleets of them could be separately managed in respect to travel. I do not see that this is possible yet.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current fleet movement and travel logic in MekHQ, particularly how Jumpships and Warships are handled. Look for existing data structures for fleet assignments and jumpship grouping. Consider how to extend the system to allow multiple simultaneous jumps or scouting.
