Starmantle Alliance Naval Fleet

Whoever is senior in the TG only.

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.

I redesigned this fleet after a critical crash bug (grumble).   

The biggest shift was managing to equalize the speed of my size 4 missile (carried by cruisers) and my size 2 missile (carried by fighters and corvettes) at just over 30,000 km/s.   

Now I can send overwhelming offensive missile waves against enemies with superior anti-missile defenses, so long as I'm comfortable getting within 70 million KM.    That's been a pretty big deal.   

Sidewinder II  Speed: 30,300 km/s   End: 40. 4m    Range: 73. 5m km   WH: 4    Size: 2    TH: 262 / 157 / 78

Gargoyle ASM  Speed: 30,300 km/s   End: 56. 1m    Range: 102m km   WH: 9    Size: 6    TH: 252 / 151 / 75

An impressive list of design that is helping me too, thanks!

About combat drop, is it realistic to board enemy ship with entire battalion or should I stick with marines companies?

I would imagine that only a very large ship would have enough crew to require more than a company or 2, but i guess if you're trying to board something that's still moving your losses might be high enough to justify landing more marines.
