V Formation on an X-Axis is a waste of resources UNLESS you're already engaged in a fight. Preferably you'd actually want a reverse V in the Y-Axis to maximize scanners capabilities. And if you're in a somewhat advanced crew you'd want your team mates to be in different locations on the z-axis to max your sensors capabilities and to disorient targets. For example 1 2 x 3 4 5 y z 6 7 a b c d e f g h I j k l m n Assume that x is dead center at Z0 and there are 3 units of space in front of it and 3 units of space behind it In order to truly maximize scanners you'd want x at location g,2,Z0 y would be at a,5,Z+2 and z would be near l,5,Z-2 You'd still have the benefits of 2 of the wingmen being in a -Y axis while maximizing your scanning arrays. On top of that if someone were to attack x. x could fly on a direct path towards y or z (depending on angle of attack and access of route) let's say x is flying directly toward y. z falls in behind the enemy while y flies directly toward x. now the enemy is following x into a frontal and cold 6 attack formation. But that is an ideal unlikely situation. Worst case scenario an enemy gets the drop on z. z flies directly towards x with a bit of an angle lower in the Y-axis so x can come down and get on the enemies tail while y comes in to clean up. This formation would be a little tricky to master considering there would be quite a bit of room for error when trying to engage an enemy who has the drop on an outlying craft. But could prove beneficial in maximizing sensor arrays.

New to the forum love you guys (no homo bro) and your work. Happy New Year!!!
