Weird Question, concerning unit spacing

[crowbro]

Hey everyone.

I have been coming to this site for awhile now.

I love this MOD so a big thanks to the team who made it. Thank you guys especially for providing the game defreezer, it's an EPIC contribution to EAW game play as a whole.

Any way I have a question about the distance between units in space battle.

For instance when I want to bring in another capital ship next to another one, it will appear red until I move it far away enough.

Is there any way to reduce this distance so capital ships can be closer to each other?

I looked up and down through XML etc and I have given up.

Can't help on changing that, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it anyways - even with the range that capitals are supposed to leave each other, they'll still clip into each other occasionally and path-finding has been an ever-present problem for the EaW engine (always fun ordering an SSD to move somewhere straight ahead and having it turn all the way around to do it ).  Plus, it provides incentive to use smaller ships in addition to the big ones.

Ok thanks for your input.

I just wanted to see what it would be like.
