I'm still too fresh to justify saving up extremely large amounts of SP, but once the talk of adding in Fighters becomes serious i'm going to save every last drop. Already got a scarf and some flyin' gargles. |

Ewwww. That's no good. The fighters I was envisioning would have no business being low enough to be taken out by a Forge or Railgun, and should really only be getting shot down by other fighters/proper anti air weapons/structures. I was honestly hoping when the time came CCP would extend the verticality of maps, at least a touch, and fighters would be strictly for attacking and protecting some sort of Assault Bomber that would have to be brought in to keep the Fighters from being a wasted SP sink and or a joke.
Don't get me wrong, if you have the balls to be hugging the ground at high speeds go for it. I understand the VTOL being all but required for take off and landing, but VTOL should be worthless for combat, and honestly pure fighters should be UTERLY worthless against any troops/vehicles on the ground, save for an extremely lucky shot from time to time.
In short, please don't let CCP make a fighter that is nothing more than a glorified Dropship Wolf. I understand required speed limitations due to map size, but Fighters should be fast as ****, weak as ****, maneuverable as ****, and there should really be no need to call in a Fighter unless the enemy has called in a Bomber or something.
While we are on the topic, what are the chances we will get an AWACS aircraft one day?

Raising the player count in battles would also make all this way more viable, though I realize CCP can only do so much with the current technology. It would be freakin awesome to have the MAG limit of 128 vs 128 and have tank platoons, LAV and MAV squads, fighter and bomber wings, plus a massive infantry army. |

I would say go ahead and spend your 4 mil right now to make your experience a better one. From looking on the forums and talking to people, Fighters are probably well over a year away, and at this point seem to be more of an idea than a plan. I don't know any of this for sure though, it's all just guesses.
But yea, spend your SP, have some fun, and don't pay any mind to Fighters at this point. You will have plenty of time to save up more SP. |

I keep thinking about specing into a support logi role. Most people seem to have a pretty good time running it. |
