Sometimes I am like the vast masses- wanting a simple "rank" table for my smooth, uncratered brain to digest...

The round 2 was finished, and the 3rd round is going well.

Space Vikings 1
Namovans 0
Khrel 2

Pyrochette 2
EEE 1
Sallega 0

Fazrah 1
Aquilaeian 2
Rage 0

United Flora 2
Cue Cappa 1
Earth Alliance 0

Tessellate 2
Gron 0
Orks 1

Toron 1
Narn Regime 1
Piundon 0

Based in the current results (and previous), think probably the following races will be not in the next round: Namovans, Sallega, Rage, Earth Alliance, (Orks or Gron), Piundon.

I wanted to run the contest into a fair map for all the races... but it's not 100% possible, then, the results would be not 100% fair.

Stil trying to solve my multi-fighter design pb...

Is it possible to create a fighter design using the drone design name (I don't plan to use drones, so there is a unused design name) :

Name := DUC Interceptor
Design Type := Anti-Ship Drone
Vehicle Type := Fighter
Default Strategy := Fighter Attack
Size Minimum Tonnage := 10
Size Maximum Tonnage := 5000
Num Must Have At Least 1 Ability := 0

But you should not have the problem with different types of fighters ! Many AIs build them. It really must be some small bug in your files you can not find yet

As to drone turned fighter, I am afraid AI will not load them on carriers but on drone carriers instead. Never tried it though.

Should work fine, I used to use Recon Satellites to do the same thing until a patch durring the change from 1.49 to Gold prevented the AI from building more than 1 Recon Sat per turn on each planet. Try looking at your fighter files some more, I've seen some AI's building multiple fighter designs without a problem.

What races use two different fighters ?
I've got to see that working to believe it.

If you have Proportions 2.5.3 installed, take a look on my Krill AI (i posted it in downlod section some time ago). There must be some AI for normal SE, I simply refer to the one I made.

Does proportion change design names ? because the problem comes from the fact that there is only one design name for fighters in stock game and TDM mod. I think that proportions uses bomber, interceptors, doesn't it ?
