Maintaining formation and other whines

[Krakenup]

Things that annoy me:

1. In tactical combat, fleets do not maintain formation. If the leader moves diagonally, the rest attempt to wheel in that direction. If the leader moves back, the rest mill around like a bunch of lost sheep. I think that if the leader moves forward, everyone should move forward. If the leader moves diagonally, everyone should move diagonally. If the leader moves back, everyone should move back.

2. Dividing research points evenly is not an intelligent option. Why is it the default? Can I change the default?

3. Although no one else has probably ever done this, I created a zero population colony Last night. It sure would be nice if there was a pop up confirmation window that asked if you really wanted to launch a colony ship without loading population.
