Summary	0019509: Formation issues - what is a blob vs. reverse blob?
Description	I would expect a "blob" to be "everyone clustered together in a very small area, so the shield starships can cover all ships and the faster ships move together with the rest of the group". It doesn't seem to work this way, so I have to constantly click and wait for every ship to form my definition of a blob and then move forward. And forget about the faster ships - I just exclude them from the group (which is a pity, as my group becomes weaker). Could the way a blob is defined be changed, or maybe a new formation "super tight blob" be introduced? :)
