Hi, I'm new to EVO and I was wondering if there was some "trick" to making my fighters engage either an attacker or someone I've targeted. Oddly, the ships I've captured and made escorts do fight, it's only the fighters from my bay that don't...they just sit there and watch me die. I've already captured an Igazra (on the wise advice of many posters here) so I'm not using fighters now anyway but I was just curious. IT DROVE ME NUTS!

Oh! Two more questions if I may (if I should have made separate posts for separate questions please let me know). How do I get in with the Igazra so I can do the Igazra string? Assuming I want to win, whose world's (aside from pirates) are ok to attack and dominate and whose should be left alone? It suddenly occurs to me I don't even know what is required to win this game (If that last one is just too stupid to answer, I understand)

Thanks in advance!

Uh, target the ships you want them to fight using the "Tab" key. Once you know you want them to attack that ship, press "f".

I think it's either Ctrl or Ctrl C that makes your fighters attack who you're targeted on, and F that makes them retarget.
You need a high combat rating to get the Igadzra missions. Keep going to the bar on Kitrak.

f targets and retargets. Control C recalls them into your bay.

Thanks for the speedy resposes but there's 1 part I'm still not sure about. Whose world's (aside from pirates) are ok to attack and dominate and whose should be left alone?

------------------

Leave Miranu worlds alone, dominate or attack Zidagar and Azdgari worlds all you want.

PS-Lesson: Igadzra (race): I G A D Z R A
Igazra (ship): I G A Z R A
Zidagar (race): Z I D A G A R
Zidara (ship): Z I D A R A
Azdgari (race): A Z D G A R I
Azdara (ship): A Z D A R A
Gadzair (system/government): G A D Z A I R
Hint: the races are all anagrams of eachother

Attack whoever you want. Me, I attack the Zidagar relentlessly, run the Azdgari Missions, and try to stay friends with the Igadzra. I've thought about conquering EVERYONE, but that'd just take so much time, and... I kinda like the Azdgari. Speed and Shield upgrades beat the stupid, flamethrower, anyday.:p
