Even adjusting for weapon types, accuracy, training and the like and strategies, the vast battle imbalances seems very odd and unfair.
True this is a problem, although it really only affects warp point battles

On the formations, I guess it would be nice if one fix could be made: A lead ship changing direction would cause the other ships to change relative positions in their fleet. How often does a fleet get demolished because the lead ship turns around, and the other ships get roasted as they change places.


I agree with you on this one. I hate this. I have started setting all ships to break formation. Every ship for itself seems to work better in large ship battles than trying to keep them in formation.
