Topic: Are you guys sure OP will allow Lryans to have fighters?

[Magnum357]

I"ve been working hard on my mod for SFC OP and I"m running into a huge problem.  No matter what I try, I can't seem to get the Lryans to use Fighters.  I'm using the Donating system of the Orions to give each race Fighters and PF's but not matter what technique I try, I can't get the Lryans to except multiple fighters per group.  I'm always getting only 1 fighters per group no matter how many fighters I pick for their carrier to carry.  I use the Orion Syndicate Slot for the Carrier and where to get its donated fighters from.

Strange thing is I got the Romulans to except the Fighters with no problems with the Orion Syndicate slot, but for some reason I can't get the Lryans to do the same thing?  Is it just not possible for Lyrans to have Multiple Fighters?

It is possible. Maybe take another look at the SFB-OP-04 shiplist. Ensure the donating Cartel is above all the receivers in the list. Ensure the Carriers have a "V" in the "Special Role" column.

I'm REAL sure, so's the Iron Duke I was flying on SG4 that got smoked by them.

  Sounds pretty real alright.

I'm absolutely positive.  I've given the Lyrans fighters in a couple of Dynaverse campaigns.

I normally use Klingons as the donar race, instead of a cartel, but that should make no difference.

Whatever you use as the donor race, make sure the donor ship appears in the shiplist before Lyran ship.

Ok, I think I will use the Klingon slot for the Lyran Carriers to see if that works.  Since they were mostly Allies SFB, it wouldn't be to far fetched too see them in Klingon Territory once in a while.

No ESG's on fighters.

We just don't allow that here !!

You need to play on the next modded server we do.  We've had Fighters/PFs for all races as standard for over a year now.

No need to re-invent the wheel.

Just add Lyrans to the ftrlist. They'll work. Example from UAW..

Klingon   K-F3   31   4   Ph2   ALL
Lyran   L-SH   31   1   PhG   ALL
Lyran   JemF1   31   1   PhG   ALL
Lyran   JemF2   31   3   PhG   ALL
Mirak   Z-SH   26   1   PhG   ALL


They will show up after the PFs when selecting fighters.

Same with Rom, Gorn, and Orion Tigerheart

That may work for wings of one fighter each (like PFs) but not for wings with more than one fighter each (at least I'm pretty sure, otherwise I don't think I'd have setup the Syndicate to donate fighers and carriers in SFB-OP).

[Chris Jones]

You took it further in your mod than I did - I was just adding fighters to PF races, but not adding PFs to fighter races in UAW, and only doing 1 per fighter slot yes.

That may work for wings of one fighter each (like PFs) but not for wings with more than one fighter each (at least I'm pretty sure, otherwise I don't think I'd have setup the Syndicate to donate fighers and carriers in SFB-OP).

don't know if this will help.  i have twiddled with the shiplist for OP-EAW and SFC1 the differnce is in OP-EAW there are two shiplists in the META assets file and the assets file.  BOTH NEED TO MATCH.

i have also put fighter in lyran ships from frigates to BB's and armed them with hellfire, ph4 and the ESG lance.  ESG lance is a hell of a rechage on  a fighter but to my surprise the ph4 woked like phG's.

hope this helped out and good hunting.
