Summary0003413: Reinstate formation movement - arc movement
DescriptionIt would be nice if we could use the old Q- drawing mechanism for direction formations, but if not, the old arc movement would be good to have back in the game.

Justification: This game relies on range differentials more than ever, as well as shield coverage and rate of fire. Formations are the best way to handle so many units.

Thanks. This may be a duplicate feature, but I searched for formation and arc movement and found nothing

Strong support for a very nice feature. Actually I have to admit that I had more fun with it than I had use of it, but I for sure miss it. It was a lot easier to create nice formations which you now have to micro and and spread out your ships so not everyone dies casue of one grenade launcher. It's really anoying trying spread our your ships.

I wasn't around to experience the arc formation option, but I think it is a good idea, along with some other basic formations, such as rows, or as wingsofdomain pointed out a formation in which ships spread away from each other, rather than huddling in a single spot.
