Yes, I need to test a mission with the newest change to fix the double-fighter bug.

[KBFLordKrueg]

Didn't ED make changes to his missions to fix that already? Or are we not using his missions at all?

We are using all ED missions currently.  I want to add some EEK patrols for variety but I cannot unless I finf a fix/workaround for this bug.

Will you be around tonight?

Can you please turn down the planet assualt mission... sheeh..  2 SB's  one  phaser 4 armed planet plus the  defense platforms  and armed  fleetdocks.. 

[FPF-AJTK]

Diehard, a few things from last night.

1)Make the F-CAD+R (and all the other CAD variants) have their FULL drone complement.
2)Unrestrict the CAD/variants and any other ships that WILL be allowed on the server but are defaulted to "special"

Will look for your shiplist tonight

Just ran a planet assault myself. After deliberately breaking the GW3 rules by taking a CVA+ and a DVL (in my defence, there was nobody else on at the time) and equipping them to the nines, the final AI draw looked something like:

Attackers: F-CVA+, F-DVL, H-PAL+, H-SAL+, plus about half a dozen Orion FF-CL weight vessels.

Defenders: L-Planet (apparently unarmed), 2 K-SBs, 2 L-FRDs, K-D6B, K-D5C, K-C8B, K-C9B and an L-POL that turned up 2/3 of the way through.

Result? A 20-minute slugfest, most of the fighters dead, most of the Orions vaped, a lot of dead Klinks and Lyrans and about 2800 prestige.

Conclusion would seem to be that multiple DN-weight vessels are needed to make an assault on a belligerent planet stick (which is as it should be)...though that is just a bit excessive for a neutral backwater.
