Thanks a bunch, Tom. I had part of that worked out, but it was
setting the ship's on the right course that tripped me up. I
have a couple more questions.
1. Is there a way to tell the exact coordinates of a ship? This
would help me immensely to try and get everything into formation.
2. Will the v-formation I'm describing work well for shooting
down the enemy?

Hi Kelby,
Good question. That particular formation would be fairly tricky
to set
up, but can be done with a lot of practice. What I would do is
send all
of my ships to a staging area, a place to assemble the fleet,
start two
ships out, wait a move, send the second two ships out, wait a
move, and
then trail the fleet with the Defiant. Now, if you want to
create a v
type for mation you'll have to give the ships different headings
for a
couple of moves until they spreed out. For example if you want a
wide v
formating and you were heading towards Cardassian Space set one
side of
the formation to a heading of 325 and the other to 45. After a
move or
so you would get a v style formation, and then you can set all
ships to
0 so that they then head straight up the starmap.

these

but
can't for the life of me figure how to pul it off. Here's what
it is:
My ships will fly in a rough v-formation. Two sovereign-class
ships
will the the points, two will fly close together in the middle,
and the
Defiant will be cloaked in the back for surprise maneuvers.
This seems
to be a good idea because it would let me box in opponents, keep
my
ships together and have decent maneuverability. But ... how
would I do
something like this?
