I can't seem to find reference to this button. Anywhere.

The set leader option pops up when you have a ship selected in the fleet window.

I bet this has something to do with the fact that I am on version 1.25.

Updating won't screw with my saved games, will it?

Why are you using v1.25!!??

It's not likely your save games will survive the transition to v1.63, there's been a long list of changes since then.

haha, well, that's all right.

The reason for the version was...I'm a slacker.

I do hope that an updated list of AIs have been provided in the patches somewheres!

Update (for anyone who cares to know)

A nail-biting 3 minutes of loading, and my months-long game from 1.25 successfully updated to the current version without any script editing!

I'm making progress. I did a test with a core cruiser and escort frigates. The cruiser ended up taking damage despite the PD frigates and was reduced to 1 move. The frigates stayed in formation moving about at 1 move.

I am trying to figure out the roles. Should it be core ships with heavy direct fire surrounded by PD ships? I am trying to figure out pickets. Historically they are to stop surprise attacks so what role do they have now. I'm thinking missiles to maybe damage enemy before they get in range of the core and escorts.
