In on of the rule books (Fleet book, More Thrust or Full thrust... don't
have any handy ATM) It mentions optionaly using squadron movement to
keep
formation. None of the guys i play with care much about the half inch
you
move stuff to keep in formation, especialy considering they're all doing
the
same thing. Finding out you're losing a ship because your the ship with
the
area defence fire con is 1/4 an inch away sucks.

Well, if you're taking a moderate sized line of ships, and 'wheeling'
it,
one way or another, it's good deal more than a half an inch. If you're
just
keeping the formation together, that would seem to be different than
requested.
Catching a fleet while still trying to deploy can be GREAT fun.
Sorry, all, still haven't tried my ideas for a 'turning point'.
