Here are some ideas for fleet maneuvres. (Names needs improvement)
This are based on the example of the barrage formation Hyperspace Arrival Salvo with special projects Hyperspace arrival calibration and tech Zero impulse fast tracking
They are based on Ataru combat style

Technology:Long range targeting system

Prereq tech: Mandalorian Design Patterns
Tech Cost: 1500 +4
Unlocks Special Project to allow Long range assault maneuver

Special project: Long range assault bombs

Prereq tech: Long range targeting system
Project Cost: 2000 + 5
Upkeep: ?
Effect: Allow the Long range assault maneuver

Maneuver: Long range assault

Prereq special project: Special long range bombs
Effect: You can use one per battle can do a special long ranged assault. You get a +2 success on a direct combat action.

Technology:Automatic reloading system

Prereq tech: Mandalorian Design Patterns
Tech Cost: 1500 +4
Unlocks Special Project to allow Continuous bombardment maneuver

Special Project: Bomb canons

Prereq tech: Automatic reloading system
Tech Cost: 2000 + 5
Upkeep: ?
Effect: Allow the Continuous bombarment

Maneuver: Continuous bombardment

Prereq special project: Bomb canons
Effect: When doing no other action then attacking you gain a +1 dot on the outer ring.

Also in need of feedback.

On balance and calculations: The military fleet rules haven't been put through. Until those are done, I don't want to put in the time necessary to calculate the costs and upkeeps.

On the content:

• These moves are very 'based on Ataru', in fact, they seem to be straight copy-pastes... I'm not speaking for the other players; I think that fleet manoeuvres should take into account the fact that a fleet is more like a swarm of bees than a Jedi. A Jedi wields a weapon, while a fleet is capable of splitting into multiple parts -- in my vision, fleet manoeuvres are based on a combination of technological developments and breakthroughs and taking advantage of the unique nature of fleets.
• I only see the mechanics of the manoeuvres, but I don't see any fluff or explanation. Why and how do these manoeuvres work? If there's more fluff to fill in these blanks the manoeuvres are much more understandable.

[Stuiter]

Yes, The fluff needs more work (Did not have that much inspiration). I just put on the basis, to check whether that was okay, before continuing.

[Brend]

I can't yet say anything on the prices. As to the effects, without fluff I don't really know how you want to justify them.
