Also so you can hide Easter Eggs in your campaigns
My Drums of War-campaigns for The Babylon Project each have an Easer Egg that allows you to fly the Shadow fighters in most missions once it is triggered. Shadow Fighters are by design hiddiculously overpowered for every single mission.
Yeah, kill all Centauri transports before they reach the station. I discovered it a while ago
(And, to be honest, it inspired me to use something like this in my own campaign
) Though my bonus ship won't be that overpowered, but it was fun to play with the shadow fighters
and @ karajorma/buff skeleton: the default to 0 way might also be interesting, thx!
