Default Re: Emissive Armour/Fighter Stacking

It would be wonderful to have our cake and eat it too--i.e., Fighters (like drones) don't stack, but they can share a sector in the combat map (like SE3 ships). (For that matter, I'd like to see ships stack, too, up to a reasonable limit.) PDC could only hit one at a time, but fighter weapons would be somewhat limited by EA.

This would encourage wider use of higher damage/higher reload fighter weapons. Alternately, fighters wouldn't cause much damage until capital ships or bombers stripped the EA away.

I guess one alternate modding route to this is to give each fighter hull a shield generation ability of 10-30 pts (maybe goes up by fighter level?) It would limit the ability of PDC to destroy several fighters at once, but large and heavy mount capital weapons would still be able to kill them en masse. Still leaves some problems, but maybe better than nothing.
