Getting Out of Formation

My son and I are having a blast playing together in MP. We both have Leveled up quite a bit and each has a good ship.

One thing, though, troubles me: Under certain conditions I seem to not be able to break formation in order to do battle. Of course, if he's gone into formation with me, then that's not a problem for me...but then it is for him.

Is this a known issue....or something unique to our systems?

Sometimes you have to hit the escape key like a madman.

If that doesn't work, then I'd suspect that there is some sort of delay between you and the server. What is your ping like to that server?

We're playing on a LAN. I've even changed the server machine and still have the same results.

The PING is usually very low....1 - 10

Is there a way to show it during playing with another player? I suspect that the PING gets a little higher during heavy combat with another player online.
