How exactly do you do this? I've tried but can never seem to figure it out. I end up moving all the ships except the leader one at a time. What sucks is if I've moved all my ships where I want them before I move the leader, then move the leader, anyone with any remaining movement tries to move back into formation w/ the leader.
To me, the whole idea of doing tactical combat is to position yourself in the best possible location for that specific ship.
A side question would be, do they (the ships) have to begin combat in a formation at all?! IOW can a fleet of ships enter combat without a formation???
