Bring back the Fighters and Bombers sooner and give them a role in space combat

Look under the section titled 'Release' and you'll see that they intend to implement fighter/bomber features in combat by the time the game is released. I'll still upvote this because I'd like to see fighter/bombers sooner than that, and if this idea gets enough upvotes it might add some pressure on Amplitude to do just that.

Since the largest hull currently in the game is called a "carrier", I think it's a safe bet that they do plan on bringing smallcraft back.

And, Torinsakura, you can demonstrate your support for an idea MUCH better, if you click the little G2G icon in the upper right corner of that Idea.  It adds your G2G Point Total to whatever's already there.  More points = more support = more likely the developers will take notice.

Thx dude, i got it

thanks for the support and explanation, i missed that one thread, i also wrote the post a bit wrong as i now realize, it should have said that i would be an interesting game mechanic to give the fighters and bombers a more active role in combat and planetary invasion, for example preemptive bombing before invading a planet, or fighter screen as i said in the original post, planets can have their own fighters to mitigate the influence of the invading bombers and fighters on the planets invasion and so on.

Can't wait for these to make a comeback. Would also be cool if we had boarding craft of some sort to sabotage ship systems (e.g. weapons or damage, engines for evasion, etc.).
