In-depth description
The add_ship command in Stellaris is a console command that allows you to create a fleet with one particular type of ship.
You can choose the type by replacing ship ID with the actual name of the ship design you want.
If you press the tab key while typing the command, a list of ship names will be revealed. This can give you a wide range of possibilities considering the ship types available in the game.
This console command can be particularly helpful when you quickly need a certain type of ship in your fleet without having to wait for it to be constructed.
This could be the case when you're suddenly attacked and need more firepower, or want to explore a specific star system but lack the necessary ship type.
Another advantage is that you can create a ship with a design that's not available in your current technology range, giving you an edge over your opponents.
You should use this command when the situation calls for a ship type that isn't available or would take too much time to manually build.
