CF is the best Mod I've played so far. The one thing I've noticed that seems to be missing is a place for the light fighter. OP, your decision to keep flight characteristics of all the fighters fairly similar has resulted in a culture where everyone if flying VHFs in order to have a chance. there's a reason (theoretically) that Light Fighters are manufactured and it shouldn't be just to act as cannon fodder. It would be a lot of fun to see some of our top aces in LFs flying circles around VHFs,…

Strange...maybe I'm overlooking something then...When I look in FLStat, the Shroud's maneuverability characteristics are identical to 40 other fighters. It's turning capabilities, it's speed, it's Strafe force...everything measured by FLStat...exactly the same. In fact, if these stats are to be trusted, the Shroud is really very average. The Kossac and Bullpup Mk1 are actually the most maneuverable fighters listed. So, either FLstat is wrong, not listing some critical statistic, or it's all per…

Well, I took your advice and (thanks to Gunny) got permission to buy a shroud. It's a heck of a fighter...I'm having a great time flying it... Now, let's make it the interceptor that it seems like it's intended to be... - Drop the cargo by 50%, no light figher should carry 130- Drop the torp slots - it's an interceptor, not a bomberThese decreases and the fact that it's armor is lower than most other mainline fighters would justify increasing it's maneuverability...- increase strafe to 30 or 40…

I guess it's possible that FLstat is wrong - OP? if FLstat couldn't read the files then where would it be getting the numbers though? It couldn't be looking at a vanilla file because the Shroud wouldn't exist at all then...

some good points there... Just like in reality, there should be a role for each type of ship and this role should define the ships characteristics - handling, firepower, toughness. Right now everyone flies VHFs because there's been this slow power creep upwards that has left everything else in the dust. They are tougher, have more firepower and are as maneuverable as anything else in the game, plus they carry about 100 cargo...why fly anything else? Define the roles and relationships, then code…
