Hey, I had an idea that might be cool for on the bigger capital ships. I know from Galciv 1 on the starbases there was an upgrade for microfighters. I dont know how hard it would be, but maybe you could have that as a choice on the larger ships, like you add a small fighter bay on and its worth like + 1 missle attack, and then in the battles, you have small fighters fly out of it and fire at the enemy ships. just a though, not sure how possible it, but thought it might look pretty cool.

If anybody else has any suggestions throw them in under here, and tell me what you think of that idea, maybe stardock will notice and think about it all.

Lord KiRon: It's not that we dont like ideas, it's that they become difficult to balance. By having ship bonuses on a movable object, it becomes open to LOADS of cheese (anyone that remembers the cultural terror star exploit from GC1 can attest to this).

Josh: Definatly a cool idea, and one we're going to try to work into an expansion pack, but it'll probably only work when grouped into a fleet to cut down on the exploitation. Otherwise you can get some crazy overlap going on

edit: Upon re-reading your post I see you may not be talking about a +1 Missile bonus to surrounding ships, but just a bonus to that ship, but with a cool animation for the attack.

As of right now this would be fairly doable...just make the animation be of the micro-fighters flying out of the hangar bay to attack the ship, then flying back when the bombing run is over with. Perhaps in one of the upgrades we can slip that in, or if someone wants to Mod it that'd be cool too!

thanks BoogieBac that is what I meant just a single attack for the ship but make a cool fleet of little ships fly out for the attack. that way, like jefe said you could make aircraft carrier ships. but its just a ship with a missle attack of like 6 and have it come from fighter bays you attach to the ship. it could make for some sweet battles.
