You can get more money from trading with large transports rather than
factories.

Of if you have a raiding party you can send a single command to all your ships
to protect you, or become your wingmen and join formation.

Pretty easy, telling them all to attack all targets, defend you etc. It gets
tricky when you want a specific ship to attack a specific target but most of
the time you won't want to do that as there is no point. Just get them all to
hammer the nearest one.
