Why not just do what I do, group your ships up by task, make them into separate fleets, with their own strategies and formations, and then you can just shift-select them all and give them a group move order.

A little more management required, -Paladin

I see two problems with this. One as you say is a 'little more management'. Yuck. The other is what happens if the fleets have different speeds. Then I beleive they could end up separated at the end of the turn and if a combat occures one could show up and fight first.

I really hope the interpretation of the 1.82 fix does not mean supply and mine sweeper ships follow the combat guys into the attack. If so the current system is better IMO. Supply ships and other Defense ships that are in for example an 'optimum range' fleet and then run for the corners are as far as I'm concerned obeying their fleet orders since the fleet orders for that strategy tell them to break formation.

I presume some beta testers have played ver 1.82. How about they tell us how it works?
