Subject: Re: Parity for fighters
<Campaign mode> Fighters are not bad as they are, they are just a bit too cheap. We are raising the cost for fighters across the board by two each. In a one off game this won't balance them, but in a campaign game where you are going to have 20 or 30 fighters destroyed every combat it is going to make them a bit more painful. We have also discussed the morale rules and just can't see it. This isn't a bunch of drafted bozos, this is a group of fighter jocks who think they are going to live forever. One advantage we are going to give to fighters, P-Torp fighters are going to hit on a 3-6. At 42 points for a single shot squadron they might actually be used. Probably not, but maybe. We already do ADFC's allow firing at any squadron within 6 inches. Another possible mod we have discussed is not allowing re-rolls to fighter squadrons or even doing 9 mass for fighter hanger + 3 mass for a flight deck, you may only launch/recover as many as you have flight decks. </Campaign mode>
