Looking for Fighter using race.

[DavidG]

I'm creating a scenario that requires a race with an AI that heavily uses fighters. Any recomendations? (do any of the star trek races fit this bill, if so they would be perfect)

[Arkcon]

Well, the race famous for fighters is the Earth Alliance from the TDM-Modpack. As for Star Trek races, I dunno -- maybe you could just transfer the AI files over and rename?

Not a canon Star Trek race, but the Hydrans from SFB/SFC are big on fighters... they were weird-looking critters that looked like the Silicoids from MOO2 only with 3 arms and 3 legs... can't recall exactly what their ships look like but I know they were blue and purple and they *might* have resembled Dominion ships...

edit: oh, and for the general Category, just about any race from Star Wars http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: Bah 'non cannon' Anything that came after SFB including TNG is non cannon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I don't know if their AI uses fighters, but you could always splice the Earth Alliance files to make it work (the EA AI is a nasty one...)
