Default Re: Modder brainstorming session

I like the idea of limited range for the fighters. It is possible to do. Fighters can be made with just an afterburner and you get no strategic move, only combat move. You have no supplies though.
Removing the standard move from the fighter engines means they can only be placed away from a planet by a carrier or transport and gives them supply. This seems like the best alternative.
I have not seen the AI use fighters to fly around in a system,has anyone else seen the AI use fighters this way?
This change would put the AI on a more even playing field against humans who use fighters to patrol a system.
