I can't see your image, it's giving me an error: can't find my.bmp.

As for a fighter construction base, the way I would build it:

Secure territory factory:
-Basic requirements
-One SY (max tech)
-Fill up with Cargo bays

Every now and then, you just transfer cargo to the planet and launch the units from there (10,000 per turn max)

The thing that annoys me most about unit factories is the fact that you cannot have the factory auto-launch every unit it builds. Thus, I am always getting "out of space" Messages and waste tons of resources and time.

I noticed, when playing a neutral recently, that the computer would automatically launch sat's as they were built. Wonder why it won't launch fighters?

I agree, I often play ice and and up with loads of moons churning out sats and mines for my repeat orders deployment ships. I wonder how much troubl it would be for MM to modify the existing waypoint / auto deploy code to accept units as well.

Looks ok, but two things... add more shields, and remove the multi-plexor.

For the ones that can't see psp files, this one is on jpg format.

About removing the multiplexor, is it not necessary to fire on more than one target, or that don't count for missiles / fighters ?
