SUPPORT fighters don't use rockets
« on: October 29, 2017, 12:48:05 AM »

Currently trying to make a support fighter that sits next to your ship and shoots annhiliators. However, fighters with the SUPPORT taag do not fire the rockets.

Is there a way around this?

Moving this here for the time being; haven't had a chance to investigate yet. If anyone else wants to chime in, you're more than welcome :)

Just tried standard annhiliator rack. But even when the fighter has a clear shot, free of the ship, they still don't fire, even with a long attack run range and removing the 'strike' tags from the weapon.

Have you tried looking at Shadowyard's Kobold fighters? They're Support fighters that use dumbfire rockets.

Regarding the Splinters, they're semi-guided so they don't have FF while their engines are still hot. This may have something to do with the Kobolds having a greater propensity to fire since they don't have to worry so much about blasting the ship they're escorting.
