Using fleets

[Captain Kwok]

You wouldn't really do that. You'd through a couple of the PD ships in with each task force instead. The goal is just to have the PD ships interspersed amongst the other combat ships.

Thanks. What is the main point of putting ships in different task forces?

[Captain Kwok]

To accomplish different objectives (such as capture planet) or to organize a group of ships to maximize their strategy (such as missile ships at max range).
