Simulator Formations?
Is there any way to define the fleet formations in the simulator, other than through some hackery / modding? I ask because the default formations are really quite bad and take a lot of the fun out of the battles, esp. the larger battles. For example, if you run a full complement off Kawangi against a full complement (meaning 16 of each ship) of Tchorak, the Tchorak win with more than a third of their fleet intact. But if you add a second Kawangi fleet and put just one ship in it, it creates different formations and the Kawangi come out only losing a handful of ships.
This problem doesn't just occur with huge battles -- when facing multiple enemies that include fighters, it's hard to position your own fleet in a defense posture before the battle heats up.
Anyway, seems like this would be a nice feature, and I can't find it anywhere.
