they already had a ship with fighters, it acted as a special ability and you couldn't select the fighters themselves.

yep. when playing v3 PR, choose the dominion and pay close attention to the research tree. You'll find the fighter squads researchable next to the Battleship's spec tech.

to answer that question directly: i am not that far with crafts' ai yet to create vessel squadrons comparable to those in homeworld 2 yet, but i may be able to accomplish that in the future. |

with patch 1.2.5 you can now have a ship launch a number of fighters and then merge them with the fusion weapon into a squadron. I've been doing this with the peregrine fighters for my mod set during the dominion war. you build 6 fighters select them all and fuse them and then they get replaced with an sod of all six in formation. they all move as one ship but then again they are all just really good pilots they move in sync with each other...lol

Can you add more than one seperation weapon to the same ship?, so that a carrier could seperate more than one kind of fighter/shuttle

@ dan1025 yes you can, the new replace weapon is just a weapon, so you can add as many as you like, not that you will be able to see the buttons once you get past 13  |

Is there a way to get more than one fusing weapons to work, because I'm having trouble getting multiple ones to work on one ship. This way a carrier could retrieve certain amounts of fighters if some are destroyed-

I know the mechanism existed in the original Armada...
I can say it would be a wonderful thing to finally see the return of the Director's Cut.

The problem there is with the MS3D exporter. As most model work is done on that program these days and the exporter will not export animations on the models I'm told. My personal skills aren't yet at that level so I have not tried it. But I did try contacting Assimisoft about it and have gotten no reply  |
