Default Re: Some issues with fighter combat.

SeaWolf:

Sure, the formation can be handy, but I find that the movement it often takes to 'stay in formation' is very inefficient. Also, there is no 'swarm the enemy' formation

When I use fighters, they often have to get CLOSE to be effective. This means I have to ditch the formations and move them manually.

I see what you are saying, but IMO, the game system should FORCE players to do that in order to not take inordinate losses.

Currently, I think fighters are far too weak for the investment. I'm assuming that this is a direct result of the bug regarding shield-less fighters. I hope once that bug is corrected, I can experiment more closely with fighters.
