Hi,
What i do as kind of a workaround is say i want to send a fleet lead by
enterprise to klingon space. I start enterprise out at say warp 5 or 6, then
have whatever other ships i want to join go autopilot to her but at maximum
warp. When they're within range of short range sensors i kick enterprise's
speed up to say warp 7 or so, and have the other ships match course but at a
slower speed say warp 6.5, so they keep up without autopilot. As i said it's
a workaround, but it also divides the enemy's attention if i'm heading in to
trouble most of the time if they destroy one ship because they concentrate
on it i'll have one or two more to hit them back with.
Dave.
