Currently ships are deployed to the field with smaller ships in the frontline and larger ships in the backline, by default.

It's ok for frigates and destroyers to have fun with wolfpack tactics in the early game, and crusiers usually have enough manuverbility to back them up.

But in the late game, let capital ships engaging enemy first -- mainly using them to swipe out fighters/missles and absorb damage, just like what BBs are supposed to do in 20th century -- becomes much more important. Especially fighting against [REDACTED] fleets. Small ships could easily died for nothing in late game combats.

I personnaly dealing with this issue by manunally deploy capitals first and reinforce the rest of my fleet but it's really annoying to repeat such process.

Is it possible to edit initail deploy formation to customize which ship shall go first, like how we deploy small ships from right or left in a pursuit combat?

You can set the big ships to have escorts, the smaller ones will stay around to protect them instead of wandering off. That's what I do to all my bigger than frigate ships and my fleet stay grouped. But I use the mod "Fleet size by DP", it really help to have plenty of smaller escorts for my big ships without paying lots of supplies for it.
