ROM squads of Legion, G1 and G2 fighters consist of only one fighter, despite buying 4. Tried them in different missions, same result.

You sure you're not flying a PF tender?

You'd be able to buy fighters, but since it's a tender only one would show.
(haven't dl'd anything for THOT so I'm guessing hre sorry)

Flying a K7VR carrier - 8 fighters. Legions, G1 and G2 tried. Squads of 1.

What shiplist is THOT using?

Thought it was OP4.0 but that shouldn't have Rom carriers iirc.

Its basically using the old SFB SG6 fighter list

Yes but the carriers would come from the shiplist- in the THOT section doesn't it say use OP+4.0?
Without another shiplist that won't include the donated ships.

Just jumped on and tested again - indeed one Fighter per Squad. K7VR and I think we are 2273 or so. NOt donated AFAIK as everything is ROM from the ship library etc.

No Roms use donated carriers

Roms,Gorn,Lyran were the orginal PF races, so need to have donated carriers in the lists in order to use fighters
Feds,Klinks,Kzin,Hydran,and ISC originally used fighters so have to use donated PF tenders in order to use PF's.

Now I know. Is this then the source of the glitch?

I'd assume - noting that I wasn't around for the last server or two so don't know if DH or someone else found a workaround that doesn't require this -
Basically any Rom carrier that's supposed to use fighters should appear in the Rom list and in the list of a race that uses fighters.

A <very> quick look through the list using shipedit seems to show no race having any donated ships in otehr races lists.
