Seting a group of ships to move at the same speed
A future mission im planing involves a Lucifer along with a more or less random group of other shivan ships (specificly 2 Cains 1 Lilith 1 Asmodeus 2 Mephistos 1 Dis and 1 Rahu) atempting to get past a GTVA node blockade. I want all the smaller ships to maintain set positions (at least more or less) around the Lucifer as it moves towards the blockade. I even set individual waipoints for each shipto make sure they go straight at the same "hight". Unfortunatly the speed variance is too large. The Mephistos rush ahead, the Cains Asmodeus and Dis are also a great deal away from the Lucifer by the time the GTVA strike craft reach the group. The only ones not causing mush problems are the Rahu and Lilith. The Rahu is only slightly faster than the Lucy while the Lilith falls behind, but only slightly.

Is there any way set a common speed for all of them?

If the smaller ships move away from the Lucifer (and the fighters somehow ignore them) the blockade will make mince meat out of them withot a sweat, making them a non factor. If they stayed close they would suplement the Lucifer's limited point defense.
