Quick question.

100 fighters in a sector. Enemy ship moves into same sector. Are all 100 fighters in the same dang stack?

If not, how does the game break them up?

It depends on how the 100 fighters were launched. They will be in the same breakdown into fighter Groups that they appear to be when you select them on the system map. Often, ya, they'll all be in one 100-fighter pig-pile.

You can launch them in custom sized Groups in sequential games, but not simultaneous games, which really, really sucks.

You *can* launch them in custom size Groups in simultaneous - just set the "Fighter Launch Group Size" entry or whatever in the appropriate entry in Strategies!

That only affects combat launches.

After combat the fighters all get recovered, and you're still stuck with launching one big stack for the system map.
