Can I make the drones from scratch and use them in carriers etc ?
Can I do this with constructors ?
I would've thought this would be a negligable kind of mechanic to flag a particular blueprint as the "default"...
Sadly, no. I wish. I would love to customize the type of fighters and drones that Carriers use, or set which design should be used by default for other classes of ships, but that's one of the things they couldn't do before release.
I know they recently changed the carrier modules but I still believe the spawns are predefined. As far as constructors, I am sure the Request Constructor feature still only makes the default design, if you obsolete that design the feature breaks. Although if you build the constructors yourself, I think it will pull built inactive constructors before making a shipyard build one.
Yeah I think the modules are just to change up the "mode" between interceptor or assault.
It is pretty use to access the designs, or at least it was in the beta. In the XML there is an option that hides the fighter designs from the ship list, you change that to show the designs and they will turn up in the shipyards. This allows you to modify the design in terms of its equipment as long as you keep with the naming schema. I did try switching out for a new ship template as well, but when loading a battle it didn't show the fighters in the list pre-battle and view battle just crashed the entire game.
I'm guessing if you wanted to have custom looking fighters you'd have to go into the XML and get it to call up a specific design, which means you can't change it in game.
