Yea, expeditions do take a fleet slot.

What I'd like to know is the original question.... Does having a higher level of expedition technology increase the chances of your expeditions success ?

Expeditions are risky enough as it is... having 5% of your original fleet return after getting sucked into a black hole, *****.
It would be nice if the success rate were increased, and not just the amount of expeditions you can send...

As it stands, why would you want to risk more than 1 expedition at a time ?

I broke even. I have done expeditions, mostly when bored, and I gained five battleships, some menial res, and lost five once. So not really worth it. Somebody suggested that the type of ship sent affects what kind of ship you get. If you could risk a RIP, it might be interesting to see if you would get a free one. Almost worth it....

Somebody else try it first. Heh heh
