Fighter Strategies and Fleet Questions
Some questions on this topic:
1) Ships can ram fighters in tactical combat but never in strategic combat?
2) How do strategies work for fighters? Once a carrier launches some fighters, do the fighters revert to their own strategy as designed? What if the carrier is in a fleet? What changes if I make the carrier break formation as part of its fleet strategy? And what happens if I make a fleet composed entirely of fighters and assign it a fleet strategy?
3) What about fighters that launch in combat from planets? Do they always then follow their individual strategies as designed?
4) At what point in all this does the "launch fighters in group size" option kick in? For the fighters' strategy, the carriers' strategy or the fleet strategy?
Bug? In the combat simulator, I find that if I give a player a group of fighters, then the entire group only have the supplies of a single fighter. Example, if a fighter carries 200 supplies, then a group of 10 of those fighters ought to have 2000 supplies, but they only have 200 supplies.
However, if the fighters are launched from planets or ships, then the entire group is fully supplied. Yet if I do this, and run the simulated combat in strategic mode, I cannot see the number of fighter losses, only the losses of planet(s) and ships.
