I was thinking about how I could make a more robust fleet production and it occured to me: there always seems to be a "lead ship" that gets all the fire. Once that one is destroyed, then they move onto the next target and proceed to burn it down.
In that sense, is there a way to designate who the lead ship is? Do they automatically target the largest vessel?
If that was possible, I was hoping I could try making a fleet with a gigantic hulled ship loaded for the haul with defenses to take all of the heat while using a well defended large utility ship or two and the rest of the fleet being expendable tiny ships with no armor to deal the damage.
