I thought that "breaking formation" was decided on a ship level. For example, if all your ships are set to "Maximum Range" and you have maximum range set up so that all ships break formation, then they will break formation when in a fleet (regardless what the fleet strategy is set to).

So what you'd need to do is set all your ship strategies to Blockade (or anything else that does not set ships to break formation), then set your fleet to blockade as well.

Again, I could be wrong.

Hope it works better in SEV as well...
