Speaking of simulator fleets, I recently noticed a fleet formation that I never had before, the "Dark Wing" formation. I don't know exactly where it came from, but I have an idea. Now, seeing as how it didn't seem to replace any of the standard fleet formations, it begs the question, is making custom fleet formations and using them in PBW and PBEM games "fair play"? Does the host need the formations for them to be used? And if not, can new formations be created on the fly without a problem?
I've been planning on making a few new formations, such as my personal favorite, the Phalanx, and seeing how they work in the simulator.
I haven't found a formation add-on pack yet, but the appearance of the Dark Wing suggests that at least one person has worked on custom formations. Maybe someone could/should make a formation pack for PBW games, if that's at all possible.
Now, to work on my Phalanx. To battle, and victory!
