Default Re: Fleet Formations questions

Breaking formation is nearly always a much better idea than staying in formation. Non-combat ships always break formation anyways (not sure if you can change that...). Keeping your ships in formation guarantees that you will run into situations in which some ships move to positions to stay in formation where they can no longer fire on the enemy. That is a very bad thing to do.
