Thanks for the help. When you implement the Hydran ships will we be getting fighter support as well?

Thanks

Fighters are going to be tough. But I will look into them. Right now, I imagine fighters being there own tab with the fighters being mini-ship cards. (I am thinking two or three fighters across). Now, the tough part is going to be organizing them. Do I do what I did with the SFB side and let the user define fighter squadrons or do I group them by owner? BTW, each "group" would have their own tab.

Fighters.

How about for now we just make them like drones? We would be happy to playtest them. Or we could set up the fighters in groups of 3 or something. I like the idea of keeping them like drones. Nice and simple.

The only problem with that is that there is no way to change speeds on drones. And of course, there is the minor issue (I say minor because for just playtest you probably don't care) that there is no way to target the fusion beams on the fighters. But that can be done via the chat.

But it still does not resolve the final solution.

Fighter problems.

Ahhh, guess your right. Well too bad I can't program and give you a hand. Just know I'm looking forward to seeing them show up.
