Nova Class - some questions.

What'd be cool in big fights would be to have each ship target a seperate target (numbers depending) so that instead of two fleets instakilling eachothers ships one at a time, you get a huge furball.

So, let'S go:

- Mayson Nova vs. Mayson Intrepid: what usually gets targeted first? Am i correct with Intrepid here? (both have the same defensive value, but the nova has smaller offensive) If not, how does the auto targeting work with vessels that have the same defensive value.
- Fleet Supply: up to 4 friendly Federation vessels nearby to fire additional photon torpedoes
   So, how much torpedos does it add per vessel / launcher?
   Does it add +x for up to 4 vessels, or +x divided by up to y (y <= 4) vessels?
   Does the special stack? Like i've got 2 Novas and 1 Intrepid - as an example.
   

Thanks in advance, and i hope i'm not in the wrong forum with this (:

Thank you for a vessel combo i had not tried before. It works wonderfully against federation and borg.

I agree, it would make things seem more realistic; You don't have
"Admiral, what's our strategy?"
"Waste all our firepower on their weakest ship and ignore all the others"
As I understand, its something thats been tried before, but never worked out quite right. The problem lies not just with the program, but the fact that AIs are stupid. If anyone was interested in making a mod for it though (as im FAR too lazy to do it myself ) you could have where each ship targets the nearest one, and only a certain number of ships could attack a single target (can of course be overrided by manually targeting the ship/station)
