In short, I said that for the next major Version, I would probably re-work fighters, and make the first ones start out without terribly high combat modifiers or abilities, and unable to move out of the sector they launch in.

This will not work properly. Fighters have a 1 strategic move minimum, even with no engines.

JLS:

As you can see; PvK, POSTED and implied that I STOLE his fighter Idea.
This is not true!

PvK has put a flame to our bridge, not I.

That is not what I see having happened. It looks to me like you seem to think that noone has ever thought of ideas you have thought of before. This is quite wrong. I know that I for one had thought of orbital fighters and such back in 2001, long before you ever started on AIC. This is not to say that I was the first person to think of this. Actually, I never made any Posts about it at the time, so I could not have been the source of the idea on Shrapnel. But, my point is that other people have thought of ideas like this before you. PvK may very well have thought of them before you, or you may have thought of them before him. Do not be so concerned over "mine mine mine". I am certain that there are lots of good ideas in people's personal mods that have not been posted anywhere on the net. If it is a good idea, chances are that a number of people will have thought of it concurrently. Isaac Newton and... umm... I forget the other guy's name... but anyways, both of them developed calculus simultaneously. Neither of them copied or stole from the other. It looks like the same kind of thing has happened here.
