It seems that there is is no reg's for ship line ups, so I made my own. We I log on we always are in a mad scramble, In books and histroy books there is always some order to Fleets,Squadrons,Task forces, patrols and lone ships.
This is the ICC line up, Im not Kluth or Ugto so someone of that faction can work off what I am writeing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fleets

Command Fleet. Ships 26
Under command of a Grand Admiral or above.

Under Command of a Captain
5 Engineers, 2 Transports, 1 Extractor.

Under Command of a 1st Lieutenant
10 Heavy or Light Transports, 5 Destroyers.
This is what a fleet worth its salt should look like.

Transport Line.

1 Heavy Transport
No Engineering.
No Trappers.
Good for garrsion's, or raiding. This is choice for hit and run stuff to.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Task Force
Good for Missions, good for sneaking around the enemy. Also good for Escorts of VIP's, such as a Cheif Marshal. Also really good for leading the enemy off, so main fleet can regroup or attack
Under Command of a Admiral. Ships 10
1 Command Dread, 5 Combat Dreads, 2 Supply Ships, 2 Heavy Cruisers.

5 Combat Frigates, 1 Heavy Cruiser, 4 Scouts of all class's
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Loner's
Bad Idea, since K'luth love to track you down. Good for Information gathering, such as sneaking into enemy lands. Scout ship for this.
Pirate hunters should be in a Heavy Cruiser.
as for any thing else, pick a combat Dread or Something of that class.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hope this helps you in your fan fic's, Fleet organiseing, or if you have a lot of people on hand in game, to put them in some order of combat.
Godspeed. -Admiral Wilson

if this ever gets done used or even considered with the players we have currently i will be very suprised.
considering a lot of people can't fly in a straight line let alone make a viable battle formation unless its the icc rail gun tatic

Fleet has 20 ships, and squadron has 30? Lol.
I'll suggest changing the squadron make-up to this -
2 Missile Dreads, 3 Missile cruisers, 3 Heavy Cruisers, 2 Supply ships, 5 Combat Destroyers.
Also, whats up with having more cruisers than destroyers?

Fits DS standards perfectly.
-----------------------------------
And to fit it more into actual ingame scale for ICC it would be:
Fleet: 2 stations, 4 dreads, 4 corvetes/frigates/destroyers/cruisers/supply/transport (in any combination)
Squadron: 1 station, 2 dreads, 2 corvetes/frigates/destroyers/cruisers/supply/transport (in any combination)
Task Force: 1 dread, 2 corvetes/frigates/destroyers/cruisers/supply/transport (in any combination)
Patrol: 2 corvetes/frigates/destroyers/cruisers (in any combination)
Lone ship: Heavy Cruiser

Everyone is a lone ship, because nobody wants to listen to anyone else.

Don't forget AI. They're very loyal until you see them rage quit when you engage.

No, not even the AI listen. You can tell them to go attack someone or guard someone but as soon as another AI or planet sends out a distress they're off and running after it. The only order AI seem to follow to the letter is "go to" orders, you can tell them to go to a planet and they'll usually sit there ignoring everything else.
It's amusing to tell them to go to a star.

Oh? I rarely fly alone and I know several other people who are more than willing to "wing up" and fly together.

I speak of ICC, which is what this topic was for. Most just want to get the biggest ship they can just because they can use it, regardless of how ridiculously ineffective it is, and regardless of how often they die horribly because of it.
I.E. people who constantly bring a MD to fight luth or use Escort Destroyers as an assault ship.
