Does anybody tried special fleet formations for warp point assult ? The idea is to position ships away from the center. Then even if defender goes first, he might have to fire from the long range or even do not reach most of your ships

None of the standard formations are any good for larger battles, but for those early breakthroughs in KOTH games I have used the Arrowhead formation with some success. With less than 30 ships, it will put the oldest ships in front. Retrofit the oldest designs with ship-capture or cobalt warheads. If the enemy targets nearest first they will take the damage, if he has something else they will block the way and have a chance to do some damage later.
