Otherwise, my smaller superior ships would be cleaning his clock every time. You must be refering to tactical combat for moving them.
I didn't say they do nothing. There is only this "big blob" you described. The ships in the back just do nothing meaningful because they get no chance to get to the front!(and that, of course, because there's no formation who can handle large fleets effectivly)
