(I sent this list to MM recently)
#1A In Strategic Combat, if the fleet leader has its bridge damaged and goes out of control, it is not removed from command, but instead all the other ships mill about moving randomly trying to keep in formation with it.
#1B If the lead ship is damaged and moving slowly, it is not removed from command and thus the whole formation moves slowly. I'm often unable to engage in strategic combat at all because of these two.
And to answer an earlier question, you cannot turn formations off, but you can turn the grouping off in tactical combat. I can't figure out how to turn it off for a fleet as a whole though.
#2 An emergency resupply pod and a repair facility is as good as the quantum reactor for supplies, and still repairs ships.
#3 The anger files make the AI get angry if you send ships into an AI's system to protect the AI with whom you have a military alliance or partnership.
#4 Ships in a fleet cannot use any of their special components (emergency move pods, emergency supply, stellar manipulation, etc.) without leaving the fleet first.
#5 In Finite Resource galaxies, planets actually have infinite resources.
