Suggested Fleet formation,make your own formation.

[serge1944]

Hello,

Some fleets perform better under there own formation,well that we can create our own fleet formation in a fleet(In a fleet because not all fleets have the same spaceships ).
I thee fleet order there can be a create formations,then you will have a 2d grid with ship sprites that you can move around and place.

This will be useful, because the devs cant create 1000 fleet formations.

For example my fleet formation could be:

Heavy ships at the front:frontal ship in V formation
Medium ships at the middle:the midle ship are place in a zig zag
carriers at the back:In a line.

each ship is accompanied by a support ship.

This is SPACE, not an ocean.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL GRID! Each grid-space corresponding to a number of meters (Which you choose). Ships can appear as a labeled bounding box (In this 3-D view) which will prevent you from trying to overlap them in the grid.

Expansions to the formation system is planned.
