In the starbase report, Ground Fighters and Ground Bombers are listed under the SPACE FIGHTERS section of the starbase combat report...

And they do NOT show under Ground Combat Report section, where I assumed they would show as a Long Range Ground Unit....

Am I an idiot, or are they reported in a strange place? blink.gif

I think the answer is probably "Yes" anyway... wink.gif

This was a result of one of the changes a few months back. Ground bombers and ground fighters now work basically the same way as space bombers and space interceptors respectively, the only difference being that they can only be used by ground based targets against ground based targets (in the case of ground fighters, this means that they will work against space fighters launched from the ground). This is part of the same change that means that anti-aircraft emplacements are now listed as point defence.

Since any long-range ground combat will (as far as I am aware) always included indirect fire space combat, this does not change when ground bombers and fighters will take part in battle.

In other words, it's deliberate.

Can fighter bays hold both fighters and bombers?

Reason I ask is that originally, I had this:

| SPACE FIGHTERS
| LAUNCHED AF DMG
|
| 100 Space Fighter (246) 100 0 2000

I delivered some Space Bombers and now all of a sudden, I see:

| SPACE FIGHTERS
| LAUNCHED AF DMG
|
| 20 Space Bomber (250) 20 0 800

What happened to the Fighters? Does that mean that Bombers will now be launched but the Fighters won't?

Bombers are twice the size of fighters (40 mus vs 20 mus) so the space for 100 space fighters (2000 mus) would hold 50 bombers. (Hmm, how many did you deliver?)

As far as I'm aware you can mix and match fighters, bombers and interceptors. Presumbly here it is taking them in alphabetical order rather than ID order. Doesn't explain why only 20 bombers were launched though.

I'll deliver some more fighter bays and see what happens.
Just strange that the Fighters were no longer listed.

Is that a 'YES' to both questions ? unsure.gif
