Fleets are great but...

[Noble713]

My problems with fleets:

A fleet forms a single formation, and if your fleet is large enough (20+ ships), many of the vessels don't form up properly. It would be great if we could have fleets within a fleet (task forces/Groups, battle Groups, whatever) that could be assigned a formation. This way, a fleet of 40 ships could be 10 ships with a Left Flank formation, 10 with a Right Flank formation, and 20 with a Wedge formation, instead of 20 with a Wall formation and the rest following blindly in a big clump.

Also, I have repeatedly found problems creating formations in tactical combat. If you clear all of your group assignments several turns into the combat and then form a new one with a few ships, 99% of the time they will move AWAY from the group leader, scattering in every direction. If I didn't have to create formations on the fly (see task forces/nested fleets, above) this bug wouldn't be a problem.
