But the senior in the parent formation TG(the one with the carrier), not the fighter squadron (which is its own temporary TG?)Whether a TG is subordinate to another has no factor in initiative. Only the population of the specific TG is factored.
Whoever is senior in the TG only.
This happened to me before and it was VERY frustrating. Now I have an idea of how to avoid it. In the case of fighters in squadron, does it use the parent TG's commander for this calculation?Whoever is senior in the TG only.

If your TG with the Kodiacs has a lower initiative than the opponent, it might never get into range, even if in reality it would have the speed to easily close with the enemy.
...
Morale:
Make sure the senior commander of your Kodiac TG has a _very_ high fleet movement initiative rating.
Make sure you change the default initiative of your TG (which is 100) to the rating of your senior commander.
Does that really work? I had no idea you could do that in this game!

Battering Ram class Assault Shuttle
A wildly experimental design, the Battering Ram class Assault Shuttle borrows the engine from a Gauntlet Heavy Fighter and attaches it to a company-sized drop module for marines to use and breach an enemy ship in motion.
At 22,000 km/s, it's thought that the Battering Ram would be fast enough to intercept and capture enemy commercial ships.
The Starmantle Alliance has not yet built a ship with a long-term troop transport and hangar bay able to bring this ship design into combat and usually gung-ho marine leadership is dubious about the effectiveness of the approach, but strategists are still looking for an opportunity to try the new design out in the field.
It's not just fighting against spoilers. Some NPRs love FACs. I mean, REALLY love FACs. like you poke into a system, and they've put the venusians in space 1899 to shame.
