Talk: Flagships

This information is incomplete, ships in a fleet will form around the flagship, and try to stay near it according to the fleet cohesion settings. Also, if you have units on more than one gravity well in the same fleet and they are idle, they will be inclined to come to the flagship, even if it is several jumps away; Similarly, you could have the flagship leave a battle and the other ships on the fleet would follow it as soon as they were done with any manually entered orders - the flagship wouldn't come back even though most of the ships of the fleet are there. If you move ships away from a flagship to repair them or let their shields regenerate, it's also important to ensure they won't come back imediately.
