Question, i have a number of independent wings in my order sheet basically because having to keep track of over 100 jumpships as single items; these units are mobile. Now you mentioned independent wings will only get you a 1/10th of their FP in the initial trade in. My question is, should i go into my sheet and add single lines for every independent wing formation? Granted by the looks of it i will have to do it anyways.

Independant wings were not supposed to be allowed to be mobile, but due to me not writing the rules explicitly enough they were technically legal. So, when I referred to them getting 10%, that was predicated on my assumption that they were transported. Your trade-in allowance will be based on your cyclical pool, so those units will not be penalized; however you may need to rejigger those units somewhat to follow the new task force rules (I'm sure a 4x Star Lord formation or something like that could still carry a lot of fighters).

I already started and a jumpship star would be 3x monolith, comitatus and odyssey, thing is that each of these 'clusters' is over 80FP and that is the only way to get to fit in the 5 point system. Well i could have done it with smaller jumpships, but someone had to remove heavy carriers from the prime spot....
