Fleet Strategy, Default Strategy

[geoschmo]

I think that fleet strategy only applies to ships within formation. That is why ships that break formation, carriers, mine sweepers, etc, will move to the corners even though the fleet formation is point blank.

What you want is the ability to assign different startegys within a formation. I don't think you can do that, but it would make sense. Maybe the ship strategy should overide formation strategy. Or how about the ability to assign multiple formations within one fleet for strategic combat?

What you can do is have multiple fleets with different strategies inthe same sector and then move them together by shift+right click. Then they will attack as one "fleet" but perform as separte formations during the attack. I think that would work anyway. I haven't tested it.
