Here is the latest patch for Ceres.
Lots of updated.
The biggest is probably the formation changes.
It's still a bit of a work in progress. But the ships, when grouped, will select a designated leader and try to stick to him in their assigned formations. Only the leader will receive the player move order. All others in group will try to move to their formation point in relation to the leader.
Swiftly changing directions for the formation can lead to some collisions, so be careful.
The ships will weave and bob a bit when trying to maintain formation.

As for the Linux uses, I've added two separate versions for both 64 and 32 bit executable. Hopefully this will fix the game issues.
