control all fighters the way you do motes
« on: July 08, 2021, 06:13:03 PM »

the "your motes swarm around ur ship avoiding contact with enemy ships attacking fighters & missiles until you press F then if u F'd on an enemy they go to it & attack it & if u F'd empty space then they go to that point & swarm there instead" controls are... actually really nice. It's weird how the ziggi has a more compelling & discreet fighter control for suicide (?) things than actual carriers do for their fighters.
take the ziggi's ship system controls, make it work with the x button instead of the f button, then paste it over the fighter controls for every carrier.

First, we need motes to be able to target battlestation modules.  Currently, if player tries that, he targets the battlestation core instead of the module.

fighters need tighter controls in general, but would be easier to have a waypoint system for fighters that doesn't cost command points (still have to waste a command point to move the mothership/carrier though).  So, you know, fighters don't fly in straight lines through AN ENTIRE BATTLE just to kill one ship...
