I haven't heard of 1.1 as an "MP" patch One of the main fixes will include the sync issue in MP games, but it's a content patch more than an MP fix patch, as far as I know They haven't said much about it, but we will get higher resolution textures for some objects, and prettier explosions at least. There are bound to be other changes, of course

Yeah I tried that and they still get bunched sometimes. Here is what happens. Sometimes they spread out along the edge of the well and it works awesome other times it's hit or miss like the above.

lol

From my gameplay experience with 1.03 and now 1.04 it looks like a tiny starting point target to begin the jump. A fleet becomes jammed (bumper to bumper) and as they reach the point they then jump. This can fragment a fleet something fierce. For larger forces I like to break them into smaller groups, park them near the jump point, and then jump them one at a time. They actually jump much faster and arrive within a few seconds of each other, so you don't get crippled from the start of an attack.

This should be altered so that the entire fleet can spread out across the gravity well and jump simultaneously, or remove the jump as a fleet button altogether.

That is what I think as well. It does this sometimes for me but I have not figured out the "whys and hows" that causes it to work that way. But when it does happen, they spread themselves out along the edge of the well pointed toward the planet they are about to phase to. It is awesome and it makes for really great timing but this is the exception rather than the rule.



Whoa there!   Before I knew how Fleets worked I had each group hotkeyed, phew with tons of ships that got old real fast not to mention somewhat confusing. Now I would be lost without the Fleet feature/button.
