JLS,

yes I remember we discussed tactical fighters some time ago, and that it would help remove an advantage humans have against the AI (since the AI isn't programmed to move fighters around a system).

I think the Proportions 2.x fighters offer a reasonable balance the way they are set now, at least for human players. In the interest of keeping the 2.x series relatively consistent for upgrading existing games-in-progress, I wouldn't want to rework the entire system in 2.x. It might be an improvement to 2.x to add a new class of tactical fighters, with some sort of minor advantage (probably simply cost and maybe reduced research time - I don't think they should be more effective), mainly because this would add an option, and one the AI could use and get something back for not being able to use the system fighters.

I don't mind if you want to use my reworking of fighters in your AIC mod - the only obstacle is you'll need to wait for me to work out what the details are. I'm pretty busy at present, and haven't even had time to study AIC yet - I assume it is a refinement of the AI balance mod to Proportions which you showed me some months ago?
