How can I achieve a "formation move" in StarCraft 2?
In the first picture, the three selected units (Ultralisks) have been given a movement order to a point, and are converging on that point. In the second, the three units in motion (Overlords) are moving to roughly the designated point, but are staying in the formation they were in.
The orders given here were actually patrol orders, just so they showed up in the screenshots.
I want to be able to reliably achieve the second outcome, movement in formation. However, the game chooses between the two movement types seemingly at random, making it rather difficult. How can I reliably move units in formation?

Formation move is a feature of air units. I'm not sure there is a formation move for ground units in Starcraft 2. You can test this technique with ground units and see if it applies.
Take, for example, magic box mutas:

The final project is an unannounced survival game. Each a literal pillar of their respective genres. This means that Activision won't be working on StarCraft's next installment for at least the next two years. So, the release date for StarCraft 3 could be in 2025, or maybe 2027.Sprite Strikers (Sniperbots) - FAF How To 2 - Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
