[Armistead]

There's no AI setting I know of that a ship would sacrifice itself to save a more important ship tho I've seen ships at torpedo detection make it seem so. One thing I always found interesting is the different behavior groups often make when they come under attack. I've seen some groups the ships break up and go into different directions often do large circles at varying speeds while a few may stick to the original course. In time they all regroup back into a body. Others, it's the typical the main body just starts the zig helming staying on the same course, slowing down. I notice with a few faster TF they just maintain fast speed and don't slow down and keep going, like the Center Force. I'm not sure what controls all the different responses.
