Fighters and designtype

For the Planetary Assault mod it is necessary to create an anti-fighter fighter and an anti-ship fighter. The AI_designcreation and AI_construction files only have a single "fighter" as a design type. How do I get around this? I know you can sub in a less used type like 'boarding ship', but will this make the AI treat it as something different than a fighter? Am I missing something?

Not true. You can use design names, not types in construction_vehichles file. Make separate designs for "bomber" and "fighter" and then use names. It does not work for construction_units file though Another thin point is the combained use of numbers for "must have" entry. That sometimes may be very tricky.
