Default Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)

Why not just do what I do, group your ships up by task, make them into separate fleets, with their own strategies and formations, and then you can just shift-select them all and give them a group move order.

A little more management required, but it seems to work well enough for me. I'll take my line ships and set them to the optimal range strategy, usually in wall formation, my long range, long reload time ships to maximum weapons range strategy in a tighter formation, etc.

It also keeps your support ships from gumming up your formations, since you can keep them in a separate fleet as well... In fact I don't send them into attacks even most of the time, just have them catch up once it's over...
