Default Re: Fighters too powerful?

Also, it seemed that my score was much more heavily impacted by the number of ships than it was by the number of fighters. At one point, my score was third place. But I had the same number of planets as the number one player. And... my research points and tech levels were higher. His ship count was higher. I think this explained why his score was higher.


Ships/bases are the largest influence on score. Units technically influence it equally, but the score is calculated per kt of hull size (regardless of how much equipment is put on the ship/unit) and I've never seen anyone build more tonnage of fighters than ships.

Personally, I have no use for small fighters, they're just too wimpy. Two PD cannons per ship keep me 100% secure from even the fighters of Mephisto's EA mod.
