Non-fleeted stacks of attack ships are actually the result of an error really. What happens is multiple attack ships are giving the same order because their within a certain distance of a target... they all arrive together in the same sector and then proceed to be issued the same orders afterwards (usually) - which has also resulted in a decrease in attack ships available for fleets. This behaviour in v1.04 will be reduced by checking if another ship has the same orders first before issuing them.
Guess what? I played a few more turns of that game yesterday and got a surprise... six ships came through one of my border warp points at once. Right when I had refitted some of the defending fleet. The refitted ships had their new weapons at 100 percent damage and had to run for it while the others tried to contain the breach. It was hairy for a while.

Using a cheat code to look at the rest of the map, I see another AI is moving a stack of nine ships towards an entry warp point to my systems. It's taken them a while, this game is up to turn 300, but they are beginning to act a little more determined. I hope you can tweak them to be a bit more organized/aggressive a bit earlier.
