Favorite Mod that has decent fighters?

Thanks a bunch guys!

Is Proportions included (partially anyway) in the DN3 mod?
I like the CV's I can build in that mod. Really huge when the Fighter Bays and Cargo holds can be miniturized.

I will have a look at these!

Right now the STM has some mean fighters. Well they are shuttles actually.

The stark cold truth about SE IV is that it is not fighter / carrier group friendly. I published a mod that made the fighters more useful, a beta really, but it was not even downloaded once so I figured no one wanted it. Sa la vie (sp)

In mod I'm working on fighters aren't really of value until later in the game. I'm trying to make them a viable weapon against the larger ships. Unfortunately it's still in early beta.

I don't think I've heard of it yet...
Perhaps it needs better advertising, and a link

PS: That sounds like a challenge.
Next up: The Carrier Battles Mod.

Well, I tried to set up Adamant, but the stuff about FQM and Image pack was not clear. And what the heck is this torrent stuff?

Image Mod can be found here: http://imagemod.spaceempires.net/

You need all 5 packs.

What was unclear, specifically?

I found a file called Adamant FQM.exe, which I ran. I created a bunch of directories. All I need are the system images?

Seems like there is a bunch of extra stuff in there.

The part about needing all 5 packs. It seemed like there should have been just one. I will try again!

Thanks!

Adamant FQM has the system images from FQM included already. It has everything that the Adamant Full file has, plus the required system iamges. All you need to add to it is the Image Mod.

Note that you need to download Adamant 0.15.00 Full (or FQM) and apply Adamant 0.15.03 Data file to it as a patch to get it to the latest Version...

FQM is a separate mod: http://fqm.spaceempires.net/

The image mod packs are separated for a reason. No sense in downloading the facilities again if all that was updated were component images.

That bit torrent thing is an alternative file transfer protocol. You can get all 5 packs compiled into one file from it, should you choose to use it instead. Otherwise, you must download all 5 packs separately.

Make sure to install the image mod into the stock Pictures folders, rather than in any specific mod. This way, all the mods that use it have instant access to the files.
