All squadrons consist of a maximum Party Slot Size (PSS) of 12, and all ships within the combine have a numerical value for their PSS which directly equates to the possibilities for squad make-up. You may create a squadron of any size, with any combination of ships as long as the sum of the PSS values is equal to or lesser than 12.

The numerical value can be found on the relevant rules pages:

Regarding the precise numerical value, their ranges are as follows:

   All fighters have a value of 1.00.
   Gunboats have a value equal to or lesser than 4.00.
   Light Freighters have a value of 3.00 or 4.00.
   Heavy Freighters have a value between 3.00 and 12.00, excluding the GRZ-6B Wrecker which has a PSS of 1.00.
   Corvettes have a value of 12.00, except for the Consular-class Cruiser which has a PSS of 4.00.
   Frigates and all larger ships have a value of 12.00.


It is also important to note that when multiple ship types are in a squadron together, the group will move at the speed of the slowest ship.
