You can change a few settings in the RTS_CFG.h and the physics odf files. in the RTS_CFG.h there is an option to disable auto formations.. this will make your ships behave more like in armada1, but you will have to adap the physics (look forward paramteres) to aure your vessels won't hit every astroid field

// COMBAT
// Instead of standing perfectly still, should we circle in place near our
// weapon range?
int CIRCLE_IN_PLACE_DURING_COMBAT = 0;
float CIRCLE_RADIUS_DIVISOR = 6.0;
is this directors cut ? the Circle in place?

Something strange happend  I decided to try a random thing i copyed the Rts_Cfg.h from A2 to A1 and there was an interesting side affect my ships had flashing lights like on a2 also the Graphics where almost identical i wonder if i copyed all the settings that do Graphics i could keep the effects and put them into A1 also i might be able to Add more race slots and even more sources! i might be on the wrong track but its at least a start |

many engine commands used in armada 2 were available in armada 1 but hold back that they can get out some features for a new armada version easily  Many commands from armada 2 also work in armada 1, but not all DOCa Cola |

when editing physik files, you will have to carefuly look at our other settings and environments.
pathLeadDistance
will allow you to make ships break earlier if heading at an asteroid field. you should increase this value if your ships fly smooth and dont have an rapid break
