Just when I decide to try playing without cheater cams...

Engine sounds, different ships have different engine sounds even at slower speeds, At long distance's its hard to pick out individual ships in a convoy or TF. With some practice listening you can usually pick up the larger ships in the group.

It should be rare that they're all milling like that since TMO correctly a lot of stock traffic. There are TF like that, few thankfully, so wouldn't concern myself with it.

No real way to ID a ship until you can get visuals on it, other than warship. Sometimes you step into the hornets nest.

However, if you want, you can clear a storm by pressing control N, just be far enough away so they don't see you.

Sounds like i either missed a task force entry in the campaign files, or made a typo and pressed 11 instead of 1. ehh.... oopsy.
