How do you guys feel about an orbital fighter?
Several pages down PvK talked about doing something like this with a 10 Kt hull, so I got inspired to do a little test.
I made a 10 Kt fighter, no tech requierment, with 2 orbital engines with only Combat Movement, with Cockpit, Life Support and small depleted Uranium changed to No tech.
Basicly, its a fighter that can only have 2 small DUC, but the small size makes it kind of valuable, since you can have in 120 of them in a Carrier that can only hold 80 of the small fighters.
I feel like it is somewhat unbalancing.
Do you think this extra unit is necesary?
I did it having in mind that a civilization that builds Frigates surely have to know how to build little tiny fighters....right?

Aloofi,
Are you talking about something similar to this:

AI Campaign~ Incorporates-> TACTICAL FIGHTER MOD 12-26-2002 by John Sullivan. Fighters now move in Tactical combat only. On the Strategic map, when launched over a planet or any sector, they remain on combat patrol for that sector until recovered by a Carrier or your planet. This makes for some interesting strategies and designs.

Or would it be completely different?

No no, mine its just an extra fighter hull.
I have the 3 regular fighters in Proportions that move normally and then this tiny fighter that only moves in Tactical Combat.

The Orbital Fighter is just like the Infantry Troop, a unit that can be built from the very begining without researching any tech.

Aloofi, I wanted to read PvKs Post...
This may be of help to me in my Tactical Fighter MOD.

But with a global search (orbital fighter) in the forom, it had no PvK hits?

If you could lasso (quote) this post to bring it to the top, I would appreciate this!

Thanks!

I couldn't find it. I know is in this thread. I remember he said that he might try to experiment with a 10Kt fighter with only Tactical Combat movement to make it avaliable from the start. I don't think he gave any other technical details.
