None of the standard formations are any good for larger battles, but for those early breakthroughs in KOTH games I have used the Arrowhead formation with some success. With less than 30 ships, it will put the oldest ships in front. Retrofit the oldest designs with ship-capture or cobalt warheads. If the enemy targets nearest first they will take the damage, if he has something else they will block the way and have a chance to do some damage later.
