Looking for Fighter using race.

[DavidG]

I'm creating a scenario that requires a race with an AI that heavily uses fighters. Any recomendations? (do any of the star trek races fit this bill, if so they would be perfect)

Well, the race famous for fighters is the Earth Alliance from the TDM-Modpack. As for Star Trek races, I dunno -- maybe you could just transfer the AI files over and rename?

Not a canon Star Trek race, but the Hydrans from SFB/SFC are big on fighters... they were weird-looking critters that looked like the Silicoids from MOO2 only with 3 arms and 3 legs... can't recall exactly what their ships look like but I know they were blue and purple and they *might* have resembled Dominion ships...

edit: oh, and for the general Category, just about any race from Star Wars

Hehe funny you should mention that because that is exactly what I was looking for. A race to emulate the Hydrans. (and the Kzinti) Has anyone made one?

Edit: Bah 'non cannon' Anything that came after SFB including TNG is non cannon.

Thanks. I'll test them out.

Most of AIC mod races use fighters in large numbers.

Well, there is a nice-looking Kzinti (called "Mirak" for copyright reasons) shipset at State of the Art Spaceyards...

I don't know if their AI uses fighters, but you could always splice the Earth Alliance files to make it work (the EA AI is a nasty one...)
