I'm sure everyone has their favorite, sadly the starting formation isn't mine (bit of a collision nightmare). Sadly most formations are aircraft based and thus flawed in they need to account for gravity, vision and turbulence (none of which apply in space). Here are my suggestions for a formation (and it's math) as a good non-colliding default:
Fleet Formations
- Flagship used as start/center of formation and it's dimensions are the 'default' spacing.
- Spacing is fixed based on the mean...
