Default Re: Fighters: a stardrive speed liability?

yeah, i didnt expect to survive when i looked at the charge time. i think this would be a GREAT foil to the hyperdrive, and make it less of an uber-item.

of course, there would need to be some way to "slow-travel" without using the hyperdrive. otherwise you would have to spend time removing and reinstalling your engine. or not, maybe being held to the charge time would be the trade off. the risk you run when using that drive.

but maybe there could be some way to drop a ship from your fleet, so you could sacrifice the hyperdrive ship to save the rest of your flotillia.

Also - is it a bug or a feature that hyperdrive retreats take 0 days?
