Actually it only works when you press control. (or maybe shift)

Reply after reading, not after reading the first half...

alright Tyler,   I don't want to start something with you.  I READ WHAT YOU SAID, I simply found your statement to be inaccurate.  PERHAPS i'm not expressing myself or my dilemma clearly.  allow me to re-iterate my situation.

4 ships,  1 steamrunner, 3 excelsior II's  select all 4, tell them to go somewhere,  2 excelsiors are full speeding to destination.  1 excelsior will hang back with the steamrunner.

ONE FAST SHIP WILL usually keep pace with the slower vessel.

i'm wondering why ALL 4 ships dont keep pace with the slower one.

Probably just a game screw-up. They weren't in a Formation?

urgg,  sigh,    umm,  well,  lets see....

warp in.  (2 excelsior I's, 1 ambasador)i select them all, group them into TaskForce 5.  i hit 5 on my keyboard, tell them to go somewhere.  Ambasador is always last to get there.

drag click a group with a mouse, tell them to go somewhere, same thing.


then there is the one stragler with the slower ship issue.  2 fast ones speed off, 1 drags behind.  WHY?  i have no idea,  maybe its pacing itself. 

All i'm looking for is a little consistancy.

IDEALLY, they would all go the slower speed, then, if you needed to get them there faster, just select just the faster moveable group , then they should (IMHO) speed away from the pack.

By Formation, I mean selecting Line, Wedge and Square under the Formations menu with the fleet selected.

Not like it matters anyway, the pilots are morons that don't keep to formations... Maybe the team will correct the speed sometime.

As I said holding control should keep all ships the same speed.
