Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies

[deccan]

A couple of questions:

1) The FAQ mentions that various kinds of abilities (ECM, Combat Sensor etc.) stack in fighter Groups. However, I can't figure out how to make use of this. Aren't all fighter stacks composed of only the same kind of fighter? For example, if I design an electronic warfare fighter (Hawkeye class) and a space-superiority fighter (Hornet class), can I specify that they ought to be launched in Groups of 1 Hawkeye for every 9 Hornets or something?

2) The FAQ should probably mention somewhere that it mainly applies to stock SE4 and maybe TDM. Mods change a lot of things. For example, I find that in Proportions, you'd probably need a much higher ratio of Organics to pay for starliner maintenance. I wonder if anyone would like to do separate strategy articles for the most popular mods.
