You can set each ships individual strategy to blockaid I believe and if they break formation they will hopefully still do what you want. I could be wrong on this though as I am one of the few players who seldom uses tactical combat.

I thought that "breaking formation" was decided on a ship level. For example, if all your ships are set to "Maximum Range" and you have maximum range set up so that all ships break formation, then they will break formation when in a fleet (regardless what the fleet strategy is set to).

So what you'd need to do is set all your ship strategies to Blockade (or anything else that does not set ships to break formation), then set your fleet to blockade as well.

Again, I could be wrong.

Hope it works better in SEV as well...

So you have set both the individual ships and the fleet to the same strategy? The fleet strategy does not over-ride the ship strategy as long as the ships do not break formation? What a pain!
