You can use the guard option for fighter to guard large ship .

This is pretty cool because after that , you just move big ship and everybody follow .

 

pretty cool!

Also good to defend bomber with fighter .

try it , huge advantage.

thanks, things like this are very interesting and i hope we get more of them soon

ahh was looking for that...what button?

lower left menu. The "shield" icon.

This is pretty coll however i find it simpler to just select all and move them as one but when you do this formation structure Breaks down! i can't stand this i want my fighters in front of my capital ships so they can take out the bombers that try and hit them.

lower left menu. The "shield" icon.

 

Or if you know C&C well enough, you can use hotkeys to do it... These are the hotkeys from C&C & Emperor: Battle For Dune, created by Westwood Studios. Examples of these hotkeys are: (and some of these do work in EaW, but I haven't tried em all)

 

Hold Ctrl + Click = Force Attack

Hold Alt + Click = Force Move

Hold Ctrl + Alt + Click = Guard unit/structure/area (You may also be able to use "G" but I haven't tried that yet)

Hold Shift + R (or just "R") will Retreat

Holding J while Issuing orders Will keep units in formation

 

These become quite an improtant part in playing RTS games such as C&C and EaW. I've used them alot in the past especially in Skirmish and Multiplayer. Give em a try 

lol thanks C&C King, well i think i have screenshots of the hotkey pages somewhere well the full list on the demo is in the options section under keyboard.
