In fleet action, fighters can be given different missions, screen,
intercept, attack, etc.  The original intention what that each of these
missions would have its own formation on their round base so everyone
could
tell what mission a fighter group was assigned just by looking at how
the
little fighters were arranged.	Last I heard the formation rule was left
out
of Fleet Action so could can put them in the base however you want.
