Real fighter bays will be possible as well, of course, although it isn't implemented yet for any ship. It really only serves two purposes:ġ) allow for fighters or bombers to operate without the presence of a carrier ship (which isn't possible in vanilla Nexus)Ģ) the Nexus Skirmisher doesn't support adding fighters or bombers to a specific ship of your fleet, but I still wanted to give the player some control over what fighters and bombers he wants to bring along The fighters are more or less docking and undocking in the emptyness of space - I just spawn an animated subspace effect at the docking point's position to make it appear as if they're warping in.Īll capital ships currently in the game can spawn fighters this way, so you don't actually need the fake ship for that. It can't move and only has docking points for fighters. It's a very very small 3d model which you can barely see when zooming all the way in. The fighter spawn really is just a fake ship.
