Default Re: SE5 - Strategies

i would liek the ability to better define which specific ships are allowed to break formation. i would like more granular control over which ships or ship types follow individual or fleet strategies for movement and fireing. maybe somethign with check-boxes.

I would also like a better ability to define where ships or at least where ship-types belong in the formation.

and possibly the ability to redefine formations in game, so stock (un-modded) games can take advantage of a more unlimited array of formations.

also, it might be neat to have sub-formations. imagine Groups of three ships that stay together, but each group moves about independantly. maybe each group consists of two attack ships with a defense ship in the middle, that kind of thing.

I can safely speak for all the PBW players when saying that we use the strategies ALOT, if not exclusively. our mode of thinking has had to adapt around the way the strategies work, rather than what exactly we want our ships to do. that said, i think its a great system that would be better with more flexability.
