The War

[Wrath]

Well it seems clear that fighter respawning is in. I think it would be neat if they were assigned to ships, but that would cause lots of trouble.

Fighter 1 is assigned to battleship 2, and nearby is cruiser 3 and fellowbattleships 4 and 5. One option is to have the fighters known to spawn on one ship designated as the carrier. That would mean the enemy would always kill that person first. The other option is to have it secret, and that's just as problematic.

So how about we just let fighters respawn as long as their side has a battleship or cruiser in the war grid (gunboats are too small to have fighter wings). This is of course assuming that there would be 3 zones before the battle begins, 2 adjacent neutral zones and one battle grid. Before the fight each side would have their ships in their respective neutral area. At the start of the engagement ships may move to position themselves in the central grid and begin fighting. The fight is over when all enemy ships are defeated or have fled the main zone. Any fighter present in the war zone during the destruction of its last capital ship may continue fighting, but no new fighters may respawn or re-enter the combat area. This would give the "last starfighter" a chance to pull off a miracle.
