Like the Delta formation, the Broad formation suffers from the same problem: a lack of concentrated firepower due to not full utilizing three dimensional space. Even then though, Claw probably is a better bet.īasically, a straight, flat line of ships. Coupled with a repair vessel working on the front ship, this can be an effective method of disabiling more power ships left on their own.

Typically, your opponent will concentrate the majority of his/her firepower into the first attacking ship, leaving your other vessels free from harm but still more than capable of causing damage. The one real use of the Delta is a small cluster of Corvettes or Assault Frigates to use as a concentrated attack on a much larger vessel. By the time it takes those slow monsters to maneuver into such a formation you've wasted valuable time. One should never bother putting Capital Ships into the Delta formation. It is not a good offensive formation (like most of the two-dimensional formations) and should mostly be used for organizing your Strike Craft forces. The Delta is a triangular flat, wo-dimensional formation. Knowing when to use the correct formation is critical for success.

These are the different patterns you can assign to units of ships in the Sierra game Homeworld.
