Titan Fleet Formations

from Sins Forums

To the developers, is there a way (Besides changing my fleet formation to loose, still not sure if it'll fix this) to make a fleet that has a Titan in it to have other ships in your fleet kinda make a larger area for your titan when your trying to jump to another system? Everytime my fleet (Right now it's a Rebel Ragnarov Titan, a Kol Battleship, a Flagship Kol Battleship and a Akkan Battlecruiser) tries to jump to a new system none of my ships will give my Titan enough room to join the fleet so they can jump (I have on Jump as one fleet). Anyone else notice this? (Dunno if anyone actually uses jump as one fleet or anything like this so, if anyone does and notices this, please let me know so the developers can work on fixing this issue (if it is an issue)

Also, I've noticed for the Fleet AI in general the fleet focuses more on keeping formation when fighting then actually attacking other ships unless I manually issue orders to attack. Has anyone else had this problem?

This has always been a known issue. I do not believe there has been any dialogue on fixing this.

Especially bad  for the Titan if part of the fleet, it's just refomrs fleet without attacking. So i just make the Titan it's own fleet. While doing that i also noticed that Titans aren't automaticaly pinned, haven't cheked if that setting is in options, though.

I don't have fleets, in general.  Why do I need them?

They can be handy for grouping flak frigates or repair ships in tight formation with a cap ship.

 

Also grouping a flak vessel with a scout for mine sweeping duties are a nice plus.

To group ships and make them act together.

I always have the main attack fleet, consisting of various frigates, cruisers and capital ships, a carrier group consisting of carrier capital and carrier cruisers (set to not auto-attack, they sit on the edge of the gravity well and let their strikecraft do the fighting),a demolition crew consisting of anti-structure cruisers, and planet killers consisting of bombing frigates.
