Is this possible: Frigate behaviour like Fighter behaviour and in squads.

from Sins Forums
So yeah, the topic name says it all. Is this possible? I have an idea, Cylon inspired, to make a line of frigates dubbed Raider family frigate, to make frigates small, but not too small, they're still frigates. They move in squads, are maneuverable, and behave like fighters/bombers. Theres like 4 ships of this brand.

What do you think, possible? Also, while I'm at it, is it possible to make guns on ships rotate?

Thanks for reading!

Well... If you want your "figates" to behave just like fighters, then no problem. Just make strikecraft with larger models and Viola!, there you go. If, however, you mean to have a squad that moves in phase space and is independent of any carrier, or has abilities of any kind, then your just plain out of luck.

As for rotating turrets, no. Its just not possible yet, or at least nobody has found a way to fake it yet.

Thank you very much for your reply. Well, the frigates I have planned aren't really meant to flail about with a controller ship. Excellent. Thanks again.

Oh yea, question, I can have specific carriers build specific "frigates" right?

Yes, i think so. though atm you can't have more than 2 types of strikecraft from a type of carrier. (you can have a gazzillion different types though, just needs to be on a different carrier class)
