Feature request: A starting battle position which places battleships behind #804

In the original game, there was the fifth startup position (middle) which 
placed battleships behind.
Now all positions (including the fifth) places battleships to front. 
Battleships usually have the most heavy weaponry, so they should be at the rear 
of the army to do distance battle and they carries the tanks, so they should 
not be at the front line.

The default wall layout does exactly this. In the custom layouts, there is no 
distinction between medium and large ships.

That's why i requested it. The original game had one.

"The default wall layout does exactly this."
Not always. In battles over owned planets with many ships and space stations, 
flag ships tend to be placed in front (behind hunters IIRC, but in front of 
most of destroyers/cruisers).

Perhaps I'll change the current layout pattern to have large ship positions in 
addition to the default fighter/non-fighter positions.
