Fleets are great but...

Have you tried shift-clicking on the fleets to select more than 1 to move? I know this works on individual ships, but I'm not sure about fleets. When you shift-click and select more than 1 ship, they will travel together as in a fleet; ie. they will only move as many points as the slowest ship has. They will not share supplies like a fleet though.

I'm at work right now, so I can't test this. Maybe someone else knows, but I suspect they may work that way. In theory, shift-clicking multiple fleets will make them travel together, hence enter the same sector together, yet still have different formations and combat tactics.

May work, no????

In response to Corageous, you may need to turn on the option that says:
"Next ship command stops only once at each sector" or something like that.
I think you get to it by going to the Empire Status, then selecting Options but I'm not positive...
