Would it be possible to re-configure escort commands so cruisers respond to an escort command? Or perhaps a new command that tells ships to stay huddled around another ship. (While obviously still respecting the personal space of other ships)
My playstyle of keeping a small fleet usually means I want all my ships within an arms length of me. Escort commands CAN accomplish this to some degree, however, even with a Full Escort command, some ships do not respond to the command, probably due to thinking there are enough ships already responding. Which results in things similar to
this happening. My ships represented by the green ship in the link.
I'd much rather the ability to order all ships to keep close to one ship, unless they have other orders, such as to capture a point. And not to blindly ignore enemy ships in the process. Fighters escorting me have an amazing capacity to ignore an enemy frigate bearing down on them until it's practically touching the outermost fighter in the wing, at which point, they finally turn around to engage. Then get destroyed as they try to limp the 10 ft to land on my flagship after having ignored the enemy for so long.
