Large Fleets

is there any way to let a 23+ships fleet fly in formation?
the standard formations only manages 22 ships, if you have, say, 70 ships all you get is chaos....any way around this?

Mothballing, retrofit etc in simultanous games !

Hi!
Is there any way around the annoying fact that I can only mothball,retrofit etc one ship a time at a given location?(in a PBEM simul game)
Is it a bug or planned?
