I have put my ships in a group and click on the "Siege Laser Formation" button, but they never seem to get into formation? I am on the level where you disable the insect queen and scan her for the tech to beat the mechanoids. It is supposed to be an easy mission, but I can't figure it out for the life of me!

Figured it out. I just had to select the target after choosing the Siege Laser Formation....

Thanks man! I never got around using the Siege Laser. In my next playthrough, I hope I'll remember your post! ;-)

Ya. After you form your group, click the Siege Laser Formation, then click your target. I kept clicking the Siege Laser Formation and then clicking the siege laser on the battleship. Now it seems really simple, but I spent at least 15 minutes trying to make it work.

Good luck on your next play through!
