My experience tells me that it is best to design a few specialised ships then to build some "jack-of-all-trades". If you are going to have specialised ships then they can't have common orders!

No, I misread that myself the first time and was not happy. What it's saying is that
before the fix, ships in a fleet would break formation ok, but still use the fleet strategy. (Optimal firing, point-blank, etc.) Now after the fix they will break formation
and revert to their own ship strategy instead of using the fleet strategy. At least that's how it's supposed to work. I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Actually I hadn't even noticed that they were using the fleet strategy before the fix.
