Yep. A more detailed fleet combat system would be a real neat thing to add, hence my suggestion. Unfortunately, I suspect that it would be a lot of work. Maybe too much work to be implemented in a simple patch. Perhaps a more detailed fleet combat system could be implemented in an expansion? If the idea were to recieve alot of attention it could be possible to expand the concept to incorporate escort-class capital ships as well. Failing that, I would at least like to see fighte

Some select changes to starbase modules and the combat rules for fighter-craft: Starbases -- There are currently two sets of modules that provide military/social production. One set is under economic and the other set (I believe) is under mining. I think it would be cool to replace the production bonuses on the economic upgrades with +bc bonuses for friendly systems. Of course, this would only work under the assumption that something was going to be done about overpowering star

Seeking professional help: How do I use fighter craft? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Greetings. I'm currently on my first serious game of GC and am having a blast. I've had a few restarts so far due to recieving some 'educating' at the hands of the AI. It has been a long time since a game set on 'normal' has encouraged me to bend over and grab my ankles. :) Lessons learned so far: Despise the Drengins. Scheme like a Byzantine landholder. Don't hold back -- at all. One thing I am not clear on is the usefulness of fighter craft. There is an entire buil
