Priv fighter ord

[Phaidros]

Ord rules from the new battle manual:

**********
* DO for all three types
** Type's vcr-ord = Round(wing's ord (outside vcr) / MaxOrd *
SQR(OrdCapacity) * type's count)

Simple spoken if a fighter can carry N ord outside vcr (like in it's
stats) then in vcr it has SQR(N) ord.

There is also a hconfig parameter "Fighter Missile VCR Ord Usage"
which by default 10. If one now thinks that this will lead to only a
few missile shots for some types: Yes, this is true. ...
**********

Q: How many missile shots does a wing of 10 Priv Dart or 10 Cutlass
have before it needs to return to the carrier?

1, most missile fighter have 1.

And EE fighter with 500 ord
can fire a big 2, yes you read right 2 missile before redocking.

Missile fighter are crap until they get back their stolen ords...

I know thanks !
Please drop the VCR ord / 10 for next host release, put the default 1
vcr ord = 1.

Or even better drop the square root, and you could keep the 1 VCR ord
= 10
With a minimum of 1 of course.

This will lead for Bomber only fighter to fire more missle, before
having to dock (if possible, often it is not an option) before
relaying to crappy beam range and power.
Missile should also fire faster than now, now you have 1 or in some
extremely rare case 2 and need a lot of cool down time in between, the
cool down is not needed since the fighter have just a few missile, yes
I know about dock feature, but this is not an option it is an
obligation now, and many race can not have the reqired carriers,
including fighters race like the EE for their fast type 3.
