I know that if a ship breaks formation it will use its original orders for strategy. I meant that while a ship is in a fleet it uses the strategy of the fleet, at least in my experience. If all the ships ignored the fleets strategy orders and used their own, then what would be the purpose of assigning a strategy to the fleet?
I could never figure that bit out! The only purpose for the fleet strategy in my opinion is to confuse the player!
I've learnt not to use fleet strategy by making a new entry called "standard fleet strategy", and make everything break formation when get are in combat.
There should be a way to assign orders to individual ships, not just ship CLASSES. They current way is just another anonyance in strategic combat.
