My battle formation routine is:

1. All fighters undocked from Mothership [CTRL + Z]
2. All fighters in same team (With tactics set if possible)
3. Set team to defend Mothership [E + LMB] / [RLM]

Do you have any ideas on how to complete all these actions using only keyboard?

Game script doesn't allow to execute keyboard shortcuts via script.
Game script contains two defined actions of your interest: dock and escort. There is no undock action.
The best solution for you is probably to execute the proper script via special perk. I believe the 2nd and 3rd position of your list can be automated this way. It won't use keyboard but it'll be one click action.

thank you for your reply.

Unless we include [CTRL-Z]. My point is to include my G13 scripting tool. I can send multiple keystrokes with delays on a single key, Call in a macro if you will.

Is this something you could elaborate on?
- These special perks are skills I choose from the pilot tech tree? I'm pretty sure you lost me on the last part.

Sorry, my fault. I mean active perks like Summon Berserks or Summon MSF with limited number of uses. You can execute any part of the code via these perks. Check the existing ones (..\Data\Scripts\AI\Specials.script). If you have a little programming skills it won't too hard.
