I know flags were used, but how would they communicate changes in course or heading?

The captains could’ve been issued orders at the start of the voyage. The captains could all agree to follow the first ship. Signals like lanterns at night and flags during the day. Possibly even sending longboats with messengers between ships with orders. Ships in the past were much slower and smaller so they could’ve pulled along side and shouted across.
