Now that is NOT a bad idea. Mind if I use it?

And fighters work the same way? (im running on memory here since I'm at work!)

It just seems like it will take forever to get a large fighter force up and running when building them one at a time.

No, fighters in CBmod are still fighters - else they would not be loadable on ships

Thanks, Ed Kolis. I'll check it out tonight some more.

Fighters have a similar end result, although the causes/reasons are different.

Launching fighters in groups of, say 25, will get your navy slaughtered. Covert Jaguar had to learn this the hard way

Launching fighters in groups of three (the default), will keep you competitive in battles. For particularily large fleets (300+), where there simply aren't enough combat squares to launch in groups of three, fives or eights can be useful.

Has anyone noticed that with fighters in the simulator, if you have more than one fighter in a group, the second fighter won't have any supplies? Anyone know a way around that?

Also...shouldn't external racks be a one shot deal?

You should always have your fighters launch from a carrier or a planet.
After all, how else are they going to get into the combat?

It is a wide rack

Better for gameplay using a mount, just don't pay too much attention to the description details here.

Oh, and population grows every year, rather than every month now.
