On Test
* Beefs to many common and lower level hulls.
* Chihuahua Light Fighter and Freighter Fighter Bay.
* Slight changes to the AI attack code, shouldn't see much of a difference.
* Slight change in the hostility generated by slaves.
The fighters that are in on test are the first working version. So far, they can only be manually launched (bases, slaves, and AI's don't launch them yet.) You launch fighters by equipping a fighter bay and then selecting your enemy and clicking on the fighter you want to launch or else pressing the hotkey associated with that fighter. Most important thing to look for in the code is any potential PvP exploits.

The Fighters can attack your own slaves and your own fighters. And you should only be able to equip 1 fighter bay
edit: They can also attack ai bases and ais in protected gals without any warning
edit2: They totally ignore pvp rules, too
yet another edit: If they attack, let's say the sol ai, only they get the aggro, not thw owner

It's not implemented yet, but the theory behind equipping multiple fighter bays is that it will reduce the launch time.

They dont totally ignore the pvp rules, I couldnt attack you because of the level protection. They can attack any slaves though it seems.
You can also set them to attack spirits, they wont fire but they will deploy.
Edit: If you target something, deploy the fighters and the target then docks they will lose their orders and wont attack when it undocks again.
Edit: Not sure how hard it would be to do but it would be nice if they would redock in your ship after the target is dead/docked/warped, instead of just decaying.

May I ask what the change in aggro generated from slaves is ? Given their utter ineffectiveness at running, dodging, kiting I hope you didnt make slaves get more aggro (compared to master) than today...
By the way, whenever I try and log on test with my main it asks me for my subscription... What should I do ? I am very willing to pay twice

Oh. What level are the fighters? Do they get the level of their owner? Should probably set them as level 1 or something

Even in their bare bones stage right now, fighters are extremely fun to play with. Good work. Now we just need automated launching, the ability to set and change targets for them as well as a plethora more fighters and launch bays.
Even without all that though, they're a blast. Just to see tiny little guards pop out of my Behemoth while I'm flying and attack pesky and hostile Zebucarts. Priceless.

I like them, but found something weird. I can send 1 fighter after another player/AI/whatever, and then I can send a second one to kill the first one! BTW, we should get free augs and gear and stuff on test server to test them with, like exc. augs for levis. I bought one to test, and I didn't have any augs near good enough for it. Would have liked 1 heph and 1 ishi for it. =)
