ED, i'll look into those controls asap. About adding more battleships, i don't think so...i had to add those because i wanted to add them into random missions. I don't think a Battleship should be flown as a fighter. It's a command and control tactical center...i saw a preview for the X2:the Threat game and it said among other things that u'll get a multi-view screen for capital ships allowing u to view and control turrets, and even the launched fighters.
That's what i like to see in FL as well, so that's why i don't want to add BS's as flyable fighters...it's not the same.
