Squadron movement?

Seeing as how the list is already discussing the small vs. large ship 

A few of the guys in my FT group has tossed out the idea of moving and
firing 
smaller ships as a squadron.  Has this idea been tossed about, dissected
and 
explored by this group in the past?  They're interested in both speeding
up 
the game as well as making groups of smaller ships more effective when
used 
in squadrons for "wolf-packing" the larger ships.  

On the surface, they like this idea because a squadron of smaller ships
could 
get more dice rolled (thus more damage inflicted) before firing would
get 
turned over to the opponent who could use a larger ship's weapons to
quite 
possibly "immolate" sections of the small squadron(s).	

The idea as we discussed it didn't include any sort of morale rules, nor
were 
we inclined to decide at that time what constitutes a "smaller" ship
that is 
suited for squadron operations.  More than anything, I would think the
thrust 
of a ship would determine it's ability to particpate in a squadron, with
an 
upper limit because of the "wake" (EM "noise and radiation) a larger
ship's 
drive might create when trying to operate in the close proximity
required by 
effective squadron tactics.

I searched the list archives and found:
http://lists.firedrake.org/gzg/200210/msg00127.html - Just a sort of
"mention" 
of the idea.

http://lists.firedrake.org/gzg/200207/msg00210.html - (Thread) Talks
precisely 
about the idea, but makes reference to some sort of morale or crew
quality 
rules.

Anything else to add?
