Default Re: 4 UI improvements to SE IV I would like to see

That CancelFormation command sounds great, except that it is misnamed. It should be ReplaceFormation. I usually don't like any of the default formations, so I set them up each time. But then it's a pain moving my formation one ship at a time, so I'll be trying that CancelFormation command.

If you really want to cancel all formations, use CancelAllGroups. I don't see how you can do tactical combat without this!

Speaking of default formations, does anyone else wish there was a StraightLine formation?

Also, what's the point of these open formations? Is there some advantage to having all your ships several spaces apart? I don't see it.
