I have seen this pop up in a number of threads, about how non-specific the commands are. I suggest similar[i/] system wherein you can choose from the list of available ships in order to give specific groupings to certain areas. Also, I noticed in an earlier thread something about task groups. This is BRILLIANT, and assigning task groups as such would be VERY convenient. I can see the whole concept of 1-2 Xyphos wings assigned with 1 Medusa/Tempest in order to have specifiable task groups that perform as one and don't get their stupid hulls obliterated.
