When you assign the new leader, you are given a formation choice. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work well. The new formation (always wall for me) is usually so spread out that it appears that the group members are trying to escape from the leader.

Yes, the formation is set to the fleet formation before the combat starts, it cannot be changed in combat screen. [I seem to be wrong with it, but I cannot remember the possibility to choose another formation if I set a new Leader]

Isn't it a bit disturbing how much mouseclicks you need to change the Groups ? This could be solved much more convenient with drag and drop functions, by sliding a box over a group of ships.
