will it work in the tradional sense where your ships will fight together, so my 5 frigates might actually be able to destroy a dreadnaught or avatar? Another question is are there going to be specific commands available for fleet combat (i.e set which type of ships to go after first)?
One thing that i really disliked about GC1 was the absense of fighters, and the utter uselessness of early ships. It would be nice if there were small bombers or something that could do heavy damage to capital ships like avatars, but be vulnerable to my early ships such as corvettes.
