Friendly Fleets (FF) come with a function that allows players to choose if they want to use a FF to aid them in battle or not. It is possible to choose between using "normal only" or "normal and powerful" FF. Powerful FF have an additional cost of '''6 Instant Constructions''' {{IC}} for each time they are deployed in a battle (the blowtorches won't be consumed unless a powerful FF appears).
