Re: Orders/formations: fleets, task forces...

Should one then put the PD ships in as escorts, and tell both them and the capital ships to not brake formation?

This would seem to break two general rules I've heard suggested:

1) keep...

Re: Orders/formations: fleets, task forces...

Re: Bug from the get go with SE V????

I re-installed SEV on both computers from scratch, applied patch 1.71, installed Balance Mod, and updated Balance Mod. Too early to be sure yet, but I did some limited play testing and so far I have...

Re: fighter bug?

No, there were no troop ships, and the carrier went on the offensive against the planet (and was quickly destroyed).
