Sachmo, I know as long as the fleet takes no damage it can move on as if nothing happened. There have been some reports that if a ship in the fleet takes even minor damage the fleet orders will be cleared and it will stop, but I don't know for sure if that's correct or not.

Actually I am kind of counting on that to be correct for this idea to work right. Otherwise if your fleet has orders to move to point B and there are several mine fields between here and there you weren't aware of you may not have much of your fleet left by the time you get there, even if you have all your ships armored well.
