What's your favorite formations

[Deathstalker]

I use the spider or diamond fleet, and somtimes the V formation....but my favorite is the spider, modified so that ALL ships break formation and follow their own firing orders (max, point blank etc)....

[Puke]

i use a custom formation that spells out my name.

I did the "Compact" formation... and although I really like this formation, it have problems, because sometimes the leader have not room to move (usually fighting over a warp point, or planet, or defending).
And if the leader can't move, most time, the others ships stay without move too... but, sometimes the formation can break.

I use Wall more than anything else. I'll sometimes use Diamond for convoys escorting non-combat ships. I've gotten fairly good results using Bull for planetary assaults.

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"
