Default Re: Maintaining formation and other whines

One of these days, I'm going to get smart and change the default formation for all my ships. It seems that most fleets default to the 'arrow' formation or somesuch where the leader is in the front row with the next two ships to the left and right in the second row and so on.... I think this has to be the most worthless formation I've ever seen.

From what I understand, it was one of the MOD'ers who first suggested the WALL formation which seems to have been added in one of the patches. In this formation, all your ships are in one long rank. IMHO, this formation is much better for me since I attack with a fleet of six or eight identical ships with balanced firepower.

So, to frame this as a question: How can I change it so that every time I start a new game, the default formation for any fleet will be 'The WALL' instead of the other default?
