Re: Formations
Man, everytime I hear this explanation, I just shake my head in wonderment.
SE4 is full of some amazingly great fun, and some amazingly bizarre design decisions...

Re: Formations
It is the simplest way of handling it, though not a very good way.

Re: Formations
What happens if you have many ships in the fleet which were all built on the same day (from multiple shipyards)? Then does it use the clicked order?

Re: Formations
Simple. The order in which the data was created for the ship.

Re: Formations
No. It is not done by date, so much as the index number of the ship object. Or some similar mechanism. So, whichever ship was created as an object first would be the first in the formation, then second, third, etc. Only Aaron knows how the game indexes the ships. Maybe it goes in order of the creation order of the space yard queues?
