OK. Thanks guys. When I said carrack cruiser, it was just an example of something bigger than a starfighter.

Does a Carrack even have a hangar?

Nope. It has exterior racks that TIE Fighters are docked to.

Can't you code a vehicle launcher, much like the assault pods in vanilla 2142, that will launch non-droid fighters? As in, you're no longer linked to the ship that launched you and will die if shot down. While it doesn't allow for moving around in hangars, it does allow moving capital ships to launch fighters.

Conceivable? Already thought of?

What I mean is that is there any way to create a capital ship that is mobile, yet have a hangar bay and weapons.

An actual 'Hanger bay', most likely never on a moving capitol ship...

Does a Carrack even have a hangar? Maybe a docking apparatus...

I doubt they can do it anyways. The BF 2142 engine isn't really the best engine out there...

Suggestion (for a big spacebattle):

Spawn Fighters at the Squadleaders Position (if Possible) or near the big ships.

This would make the the long way from the Spawnpoints shorter, and makes the Squadleader more important.

Type of the fighter should be the Squadleaders Fighter, and if to many of this Fighters are Ingame the "next" type fighter will be spawned.
B-Wing -> Y Wing -> X-Wing -> A Wing

Example:
Maplimit 2 B-Wings, if booth B-Wings are in game the next fighters will be Y-Wings or X-Wings (if no Y-Wings are aviable) or at least A-Wing.
A A-Wing Squad will always bee filled up with A-Wings.

Tie-Bomber -> Tie Interceptor -> Tie Fighters

Im fixing to install Xfire ... but if i had done this earlier , I wouldnt have had time.

Heres a rule : as pertains to server settings for FSL matches ...
Respawn matches can be fought in no-respawn if commanders agree.
It only means that otherwise you are free to hold a long respawn match
to weed out the bulk of a planets tickets and decide a new owner.
so... if everyones down with NR , then by all means do NR matches over and over to get to a decision.
On matches designated from the beginning to be NR , theres no options other than NR for that battle.

I still wish it was no respawn I just don't like the whole idea of not getting a respawn. But oh well...

I wish you were on IRC more often Luke...

the next 6 space battles to be fought next are all no respawn , so you will be glorious if you survive.
You have about the same chances of survival as if you were really living the star wars life , and were in this situation.

We will separate the jawas from the jedis , trust me ...

Then the game would never end because it wouldn't be ticket based...
