I've been working on something like this before. Best way i figured out was using Drones, but set it to automatically fire. So whenever an enemy gets near the carrier, the fighters launch. Plus all drones come back after a bit anyway, but if you set the fire rate right, they'd come back, and then a second later launch....

So how will these fighters attack emenies? Will they surround the target or just do an all out attack?

They might just use sticks and harsh language.  |

they launch, fly their attack cycle and return to the hangar docks. Very similar to the Starcraft Protoss Carrier  |

Humm... similar to the protoss carrier eh? just .. how similar? i remember the ai in starcraft being really buggy when facing carriers, any non-human player would fire at the drones and rarely kill them, while the carriers themselves remained undamaged. something to think about when doing this

I assume the fighters won't buzz around as fast as the Protoss ones will, and will therefore be easier to hit.

The fighters wont be selectable or attackable. If the Carrier is destroyed they will try to return to another nearby carrier. If this also fails for some reason they will explode  The poor pilots get crazy alone in the dark |

Do you have a screenshot of the fighters in action? And also, is the Avalon armed, or does it rely entirely on the fighters for defence?
