Default Formations?

Basically do they matter much or at all? Are they equally important in Startegic combat and tactical?

Thanks,

Ken

Default Re: Formations?

Set your ships to break formation.

Go into the Empire Options window. Select Strategies. Then, click on the Formations button. You can set different types of vehicles to break or not break formation. It's best if they all break formation.

Default Re: Formations?

Even in tactical, select "break all formations" once close in to enemy ships. Otherwise you will observe _very_ ammusing maneuveres
