Currently a bot can flood another bot with a large number of fleets each having
only one ship. Some bots may not handle this well. Normally, I'd say this is
fine and it's just the developers' own faults if they don't handle this well,
but I don't think that encouraging people to try to limit their opponents'
processing time is in the spirit of the contest. If this is allowed to happen,
some of the mid-to-lower ranking bots will probably start doing it a lot, and
this could also potentially slow down the server a bit. If the engine sees
multiple fleets leaving the same planet on the same turn having the same
destination, it should silently merge them into a single fleet.
