-The Escort Formations OXP adds 19 extra escort formations to the game, which will be used by traders and pirates, and can be used by other ships. The escort formations are divided into two categories - offensive formations, usually used by pirates to give a strong attack or to hide their strength - and defensive formations, usually used by traders to give good scanner coverage and avoid pirate ambushes.
+== Overview ==
 As this breaks up both trader and pirate formations, it can make it slightly more difficult to tell the difference between traders and pirates on the spacelane.

 * wave
 If an unrecognised formation name is given, "vform" will be applied, which is similar, though not identical, to the standard escort formation.
