Hi:
I tried to play a Hydran the other night and could not figure out how to assign and use stinger fighters. Any help is appreciated.

I see now. Some of the ship cars are not correct and have the fighter boxes as shuttles. However, are you not supposed to be able to vary the amount of fighters?

I'm mid-game with gar1138 right now, and I'm running the Hydrans. In "Other" you can place hydran stingers, which works, but takes a long time.

No, it works on some ships if the definition is the definition of the square is fighter. Then you can select a target (odd, just pick anybody) and launch fighters.
My problem is: A) some ships don't have the boxes designated fighters.
B) What if you only want to buy a partial load of fighters?

Well, if you only want a partial load of fighters, then just don't launch the ones you didn't buy.

I really hate it when you make sense.
