I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but when I create a fleet of Akiras with Sovs, the special ability icons of the Akira and Sov tend to override each other - i.e  either the fleet formation or the engine shutdown special ability is not accessible.
At times when clicking on the Engine overload, my akiras initiate their special ability; and vice-versa.

The same issue occurs with the Romulan Warbird and the science class vessel's level 1 special ability (I've forgotten the name) which is the 3rd icon in the shipyard build list - the one to the right of the shrike or griffon.

Hope this is fixed by the main release.

will something similar to this be featured in the Armada 1.2.5 patch as well? or is this a fleetops exclusive?
