Spaceship flotilla

A flotilla (plural flotillae) is a spaceship composed of a number of smaller interacting spaceships. Often one or more of these is not a true spaceship (e.g. an overweight spaceship) and could not survive without the support of the others; those ships are said to be escorted by the true ships.

Example

In the following example, a long overweight spaceship is being escorted by two heavyweight escorts; most of the 10-bit spark that would make it unstable is suppressed by the HWSSes, except for two cells that dissipate harmlessly.

Standard spaceship flotillae

There are 42 flotillae of two standard spaceships (lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight); 39 of these are actual spaceships, while 3 are pseudo-spaceships.
