A mod to the Avalaon Hanger that will allow it to launch 3 types of fighter; Peregrine, Javelin & Stormrider Class fighters. As they all appear in the AdmiralsLog, they all have shipnames.

Said names are notably 'different' from a proper starships...

This is out of the blue but anyone think that maybe the Voyager Delta Flyer would be a good fighter type?

Good to see the Stormrider in here, it's finally getting some love!

Just, what I was thinking. Maybe it could be launched at Rank 5?

The flyer? That always struck me as more of a runabout than a fighter.

The Flyer is much more than just a shuttle. In Voyager it has been build for flying trough the atmosphere of a gasgiant. It can take 2 gratviton-torpedos from an armored-cube.
The Delta-Flyer is a little Mixed-Tech Fighter... maybe you must have Borg as allied to get it?

Runabouts aren't shuttles, they're small starships. The Flyer was designed to be a replacement shuttle with runabout properties, not a fighter. Combat-capable isn't combat-focused.

It may be a suitable break from Trek-reality to pretend it's a fighter class if mixed-tech was avatar specific, but it isn't so Mayson would also get the Avalon.

i dont think the flyer should appear as it wasnt designed to be a fighter. i liked the old way that different fighters were launched, some with pulses, some with torps.

the peregrine is the current one which has pulses (i think) which does good vs small ships, maybe the stormrider could carry torps under its wings. maybe you could toggle a special on the avalon to decide which gets auto launched based on what enemies you are facing?

I tried two passive hangar bays and it just launched a fighter of each type fused together. The current way saves time, though.

Currently, the Javelin has twin pulse weapons while the Stormrider has twin pulses and a light Quantum pulse.

On a side-note; anyone noticed the fighter names?

Well, maybe the D-Flyer could replace the scout with a certain scientific railgu... cybernetic species in mixed tech ;oD

I like it! Carriers need some variety.

When I modded SFC3, I usually used the Venture Scoutship as the fighter, or sometimes the old Hornet Fighters. Fun times.

Do you mind if I use your mod as a template for one of my own?
