Ummm... don't know why you never got an answr. very other question I'v seen posted on this forum is answered within an hour or two. Must have slipped through th net.

I can't offer much of an answer. My exprience is that the fleet leader (selected by you whn assigning fleets) is number one. Which ship takes positions 2, 3 ,4 etc is pretty much random.

I suggest you do some playtesting and let us all know your results. Mayb thn th nxt person to ask the same question won't have to wait as long for an answr as you=-)

I tried to do as much testing as I could. I can find no rhyme or reason to how ships are added to the fleets...

I am sure that someone somewhere must have an answer.

Does MM read these Posts ?? Do they/he ever respond. If noone else knows, MM would.

I didn't reply because I thought the case you mentioned about order of construction was the answer.

The way I manage formations is to look at which ship is the leader, and what position a few critical ships are in the list, then look through (F1) Help/Formations and pick the one that best positions the key ships.

[edit] Forgot to mention, there's a check box at the bottom of the posting form that lets you be notified by e-mail when someone replies to the thread. I hardly ever use that option myself, because of the message volume on this board.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
