Ok, I think I'm going to have to go with Gible's suggestion, kinda.

There are a few issues though around this. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by groups of ships, but I'll allow battle orders to be set by design inside each fleet.

So when a fleet splits, the fleet following it will split based on its battle orders, and the percent of its target that's in each new "split" fleet (is there a noun for that, like a child fleet?? Rolling Eyes

). For example, if you have a particular ship design that you want to have take out their bombers, and their fleet splits into two groups where one has 20% of their bombers (by mass) and the other 60%, then you can expect whatever ship designs in you fleet targeting bombers to also split into groups of around 20% and 60%.

I think the split needs to occur by mass otherwise you could have an opponent, for example, who splits off a larger number of small freighters but keeps the far more important large freighters in a separate, well defended group. Then, most of your fleet would target the small freighters, leaving the large freighters (probably) unharmed.
