ORIGINAL: Sokar408 Basically I have noticed that whenever I want my fleets to engage something, they ALWAYS use hyperdrives and arrive in a circular formation around the target. Needless to say this almost NEVER the way you'd want to attack, so my questions are: Is there actual formation options in the game? (Like, a triangler formation, or square, or more complex ones like small ships in front, large ships in the back) And can I force the fleet to move towards a given target, without "jumping" to it. Say if I make them arrive at a distance, and then want to move them in at sublight speed. Thanks in advance. About two years ago Canaris_PL asked about making Stars act like HyperDeny components. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3864689&mpage=1&key=honorverse� I'm not sure if hyperdeny stops hyperjumps IN but it prevents jumps within it. If a star had such a field it would allow you to jump near the target and form up the formation without fearing that individual ships whould jump to attack on their own. Not a bad idea....GP
