The default formation is Delta. I remember in Reunion and X2: The Threat you could place ships in formation and they would hold the formation. Is that achievable in TC? I've noticed that if I put wing in formation Delta (haven't tried any other formations yet) they fly around like a bunch of flies just buzzing circling each other in & pattern.
Which formation type makes ships stick to the wings and don't buzz around? Like hold the line sort of?

I've noticed the same thing...if you have a wing set to protect another target however they do appear to form up.
The lack of a cohesive formation when the wing is in free flight (i.e not guarding) is a problem as often the fastest, and this most likely means the worse shielded, zooms off ahead of the others during an attack...not good.
Also, and this could be considered a request, we need to be able to set certain ships in the group to dedicated missile defence duties. We could do this with the wing/group commands in Reunion and I'd certainly welcome its return in TC.
