Wing/Wingman Control - need help
If someone could give tips on how to set up wingmen/wings and what types of ships do well together I'd appreciate It. If anyone wants to be super cool and let me in on some synergies (ie weapon loadouts that work, what ships go together etc. etc.) I'll go ahead and list what kinds of ships that I have right now just for the heck of it.
I have
M3s- 1 Scimitar 1 Mamba Raider
M4- 1 elite 1 saber
M5 - 2 rapiers 1 discoverer
M8 - 2 gladiators
and a Magnetar
Any help would be appreciated, Also I don't know the hotkeys, if someone could link a list of them that'd be grand.

Seriously, your guess is as good as mine..
I wouldn't group the bombers into a wing with other ships.
I prefer to use a mix of heavy weapons and light weapons on my AI ships. The classic example is 4 HEPTs + 4 PACs on the front guns. That's good good insector and OOS capability as well as being cash efficient.

before anyone can really suggest what ships/weapons to use in a wing, u need to decied what you want the wing to do.
will it be to protect your ships, or sector defence, your own personal escorts, attack wing to takign out stations, invasion, etc
what ever you use them for will determine the kind of ships you want to add to it

what do I want to do with my wings/wingmen...hmmm I guess I'm kind of asking that in my question, which probably is more reliant on what I'm doing in the game at the moment... Right now I'm basically trying to work through the Terran Plot, and doing defense/patrol missions... I've now purchased a cutlass (M3+) so at current count: (3million credits)
M3 - Scimitar Mamba Raider Cutlass
M4 - 2 Elites 1 Saber
M5 - 2 Rapiers 1 Discoverer
M8 - 2 Gladiator
and a magnetar...
So if anyone has any ideas on what I should be working on lemme know...

i would say you want a personal defence wing, one that can protect you and help you with your missions.
so i would suggest adding ships that are faster than your current one so you dont have to wait for them.
some fast m5's can be useful in the wing too, so you can send in the wing to distract the attacks and protect your ship.
use the m5's as cannon fodder. Boosted up with some m4's and fast m3's, they should help you quite well without your main ship getting hit too much
