Hangar bays
« on: January 06, 2016, 03:05:53 PM »
Will hangar bays cascade if one is hit and destroyed?
What happens if a fighter is in the bay?
Never have I lost a carrier before, now it looks that all 6 in the Terran fleet will be destroyed by a huge missile swarm.

Hangars are individual components so they will not chainreact. Fighters I believe are just ejected, but they might be destroyed. I've only lost hangars with fighters on-mission so the hangars were empty (except for some unlucky redshirts). And good luck with that missile swarm.

In one of my previous games when I lost a mothership, all docked parasites were destroyed too.

I am almost sure the answer to your question about the survival of the fighters inside hangars is:

BOOM


At least as far as my experience is concerned. Maybe I was unlucky? Good luck in your war though :)

Launch them so the pilots can die like men. No ramming though.
