The 2 fighters in your support fleet are 'support' and it really messes up what they do in battles.
I've noticed that the battle viewer zooms in way too much, cutting ships off the screen before they even get to the middle.
I also notice that all ships move towards the middle regardless of their role or their range and then they float around awkwardly, spinning, and bouncing around other ships.
There is a long awkward pause in between ships attacking combatant and non-combatant ships like carriers without weapons. Also, oddly the fighters you start with, which are support ships, sometimes begin the battle as non-combatants and only join the fight once all your other ships are destroyed.
