Okay, so how about:
a) divide your fleet into squadrons
b) use the formula above to determine initiative for set-up purposes
(use
an unmodified d6 vs d6 roll off to break any ties)
c) place  your squadrons on the table in order from lowest to highest
initiative (ie a merchant with Thrust 1 and no sensors will set up
first;
Admiral Vorkosigan with Thrust 8, Superior Sensor ships will set up
last).
d) [tentative] You can't set up within X distance (60mu?) of the enemy
but
you can shift the map to accomodate--eg if that merchant sets up 5mu
from
the end of the table and Adm Vorkosigan wants to set up behind him, just
move the merchant 60 mu forward.
