Fighters can target other fighters fine.
Bomber designs could carry limited anti-ship missiles at the expense of engines and defenses. Vulnerable to regular fighters.

Didn't AIC have this stuff? Dedicated anti-fighter fighters or dedicated anti-ship fighters but no all rounder fighter. Whatever happened to it? It was a Version of Proportions optimized for SP. |

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
SJ, your quote reminds me of something right out of the MOO2 manual that had me confused for years before I figured it out:
"Ships can bomb planets directly, but other ships only indirectly, via bombers."
OK, I was wondering, what KIND of ships can bomb planets directly, given that some other (unspecified and nonexistent as far as I could tell from playing the game) kind of ships can bomb planets only indirectly via bombers... then after SO long I finally figured out that "other ships" was part of the OBJECT of the sentence, not the SUBJECT...

So; Ships can bomb planets...
Fighters can bomb ships...
But ships can't bomb other ships?

They can shoot torpedoes, missiles, and beams at them. Bombs would be redundant. |

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
Nope. Torpedoes are self-propelled, missiles are self-propelled and self-guided and beams are focused energy. Bombs are in free-fall. Clearly not redundant, they just don't make sense for ships.

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
Launch bombs using the catapults. They are pretty effective in vacuum thus make sense.

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
Could catapults fire the bomb fast enough?
