Not true. You can use design names, not types in construction_vehichles file. Make separate designs for "bomber" and "fighter" and then use names. It does not work for construction_units file though  Another thin point is the combained use of numbers for "must have" entry. That sometimes may be very tricky.

Re: Fighters and designtype
Aha! It worked.
However, I did get a error from one of the new strategies I added. How do I correct this?

What kind of error ? Ithink i know what is the problem - it is a well known feature of storing strategies in the race_name.emp files If you add new strategy to AI_strategy and AI_design files, it does not affect pre-generated .emp files. You must make it from the scratch again !

How do I remake the empire file? Is there some kind of tutorial somewhere?

Let's assume you want to make the fresh empire file for a race A. Start a new game with high number of AI races and use race B for yourself. Once the game starts, check "players" - top left icon or F2 - go to "players", if you are lucky and race A is present, click on it, taking it onto your control. Press "end turn". Now you will proceed to empire A . Go again to F2, click on "save empire" and save it. Exit game. You will have a fresh emp file ! If you are unlucky and race A was not selected as a random AI player, repeat and rinse
