Mal seemed to understand what he was getting at.


Suggestion:  What I do is, if 1/3 of the fleet isn't there yet, I go back to the fleet engaged in battle, select them quickly and re-assign them to a new fleet until the others show up.

OR

If you want to keep the fighting ships in Fleets 1 & 2, then set them to attack the vessel you want, go to the traveling ships, and put them in a new fleet until they arrive.

  Works very well for me and allows better micro-management once they and until arrive ,

Using your hypothetical scenario and assuming that 2/3rds of fleet #1 are in combat while the other 1/3rd are en route, how upset can you be if the first 2/3rds die before the backup arrives?  (not about them dying, that involves swearing and throwing stuff, but about the survivors...)  That way, at least you have a couple of extra ships to unsuccessfully defend your base with when the cubes get there.
