I found adding a min/max limit for the cohesion component helped make flocking behaviour more controllable.
I set mine to 0.2 and 0.5 respectively, which I find helps avoid over-clustering close up (less reliance on separation to balance out) and keeps vague tracking within the group right up to the edge of the neighbour range instead of it falling off before that. Default is 0/1 though which is no change on previous behaviour.
