Age of Fighters Capacity

[main lodge]

Little feature/bug with age of fighters where the fighter 2s don't actually have capacity.
Most of the time it's a fairly non issue since the capacity is only for ground forces and it's easy to track that manually, but the bot gets all upset when those ground forces stay in the sky and continuously prompts to remove units due to capacity issues.

E.g. pbd5106e

I'm sure it isn't worth coding in the handling of ground force only capacity to the fighters, but wanted to raise the issue in case there's an simple way to handle this case.

Technically, think the bots right about that one

Like it's normally alright to have ff carrying infantry, but those fighters are being carried by the dock

Not sure they can carry stuff while they're being carried

And not sure you got an option there

As in by the rules, since the fighters CAN be carried by the dock, they have to be carried by the dock?
Interesting…. I’m not gonna bring that ruling to the table if that’s the case cos that’s a feels bad for that guy in what is a chill game.

Fighters in excess of your ships' capacity count against your fleet pool.

Hmm I guess not. There’s nothing here to say they don’t have capacity while they themselves are taking up capacity….

Wild take.

1 fleet pool
1 carrier carrying 4 fighters
Each fighter carrying an inf…
Is this RAW 😅

Oh I gotta add that part in, I left it out accidentally

But in the real rules it says "fighters that count against fleet pool have capacity 1"

So no

[main lodge]

Ahhh good, it was thought about haha

Ya I invite ya to ignore the oversight, but Im not gonna change bot implementation cause its the way it should be afaik

I will update the age of fighters rules though, I wasnt too careful with those

[main lodge]

Yep makes sense.
Definitely a weird interaction where being within capacity actually hinders you

[fleet token]

Its really only docks

With carriers, the infantry would go to the carriers
