Here is my thinking - the "problem" comes from situations like the following:

I have 100 ships of type A. An opponent is chasing down my 100 ships with his fleet. I split off 1 ship, and have it move in a direction opposite the other 99.

Result - the person chasing my "fleet" of 100 ships catches the singleton, and my 99 get away.

There is really only one intelligent options for my opponent's fleet:

1 - Always chase the most expensive/ group.

Is there anything else that might be a better interpretation of "chase down this fleet?" Everything else I've come up with seems pretty abusable (always go for the fleet I can intercept, always go for the most numerous, always go for the fleet including the most expensive ship).

If indeed Rule #1 is always what you want, then I say you just make that the default rule, and be done with it.
