Start with the (horrible) calculations it uses (ships will try to ram planets or buildings or other ships in trying to cross the grav well, not taking their positions into consideration, and they always turn by accelerating forward, right into the enemy's guns...), to the fact that fleets always take the "fleet center" as a position for everything... including jump sequences even if the fleet is set to jump separately. Really annoying in a retreat.

Currently the fleet takes its formation in the direction you have sent them... The problem here is you can´t rotate a formation in a close space, as the game will always take the fleet center and the target point as measurement for the new direction the fleet will take. Many other games (and they are right this way) let you decide which way your formation should be facing after they have arrived at their target location by holding down the right mouse button a little longer when issuing a move order.

If you could somehow set the shipyard to hold pos so anything it builds holds pos , that will remedy it. Or even set a planet to hold pos
And also make each attack stance a diferent button , not a list in one button

I think that on some fixed maps , the closest planets should be randomised but equal for both or four players. So forexample , in one game the planet to the right is a volcano for me , and its the same for the other player , then in another game it will be terran , but it will also be terran for the other player. Any planet that is further away and contested can be randomised to whatever.

Number of Players 3-10 any map.
Game Room Setup - Who hates who?: In the battle room , Player 1 hates Player 2 , Player 2 hates Player 3 , Player 3 hates Player 4 , and it goes round till the last player hates Player 1. So now you have someone who hates you ,and someone you hate.
Rules of Winning: Inorder to win the game you must be first one to eliminate the player you hate.

So we just had this idea for an option with max alliances, as ppl seems to team up in huge groups in FFA games and take on the weaker and then the game ends.
To avoid this, a max alliance setting would make this stop.
