Re: Formations
 

I don't know, Fyron. I just opened a combat simulation to test this atrocity out, and I could reproduce, systematically, a fleet in which the ships were arranged in the order they were added to the fleet.

P.S. The ships were created on the same date.

Re: Formations
 

I just did a combat simulation and added ships in varying orders to the fleet. They were always in order based on number (they were the same type of ship, so the number is the order of "creation"). 0001 was the leader, then the second slot was 0002, then 0003, and so on. Didn't matter what order they were added to the fleet. Note that this was the combat simulator, so for a real fleet you would be able to choose the leader...
