The Fighter bay of the Colossus

Hello all: I am curious about the fighter bay. Today i tried to get close to the fighter bay of the colossus to see if actual fighters came out of the figther bay. But most capital-ships got their fighter bay locked. I mean it would be cool if u could get into any capital ships thru the figther bay or at least see fighters coming out thru the fighter bay

Fighters do come out of the fighter bay. All capital ships with fighter bays have an barrier to prevent ships from flying in.

Primarily a gameplay device to ensure that nobody goes really cheap and sits in there shooting till the ship comes apart.

have u seen ships coming out of the figther-bay?

have u seen ships coming out of the figther-bay of any capital-ships with figther-bays?
I tried to check out if any ships were coming out of the fighter-bay but i didn't see none. I even used the cheats to kill all enemies really quick so i could get into the fighter bay of the colossus.
BTW: I think the game-cheats has a crazy impact on the AI of other ships

yeah, i remember the fighter bays really do work, ...

the one time, i can't remember who it was with, about 2 and a half years ago, me and someone else were playing the last mission on Silent Threat (the one with the Hades) in multiplayer, on "Medium"... and we just sat by the fighter bays of the Hades and 0wned those little Lokis that came out

but yeah, it would be awesome if you could FLY IN to a fighter bay, right into the ship, and like shoot up the fighter bay, like in Star Wars

In some missions and campaigns I saw fighterbays being used. Personally in some missions made of my own I used the fighterbays in actually every case if there was a capship. For example a Ravana sent out one wing after another for defence. For me it`s quite logical that a destroyer with dozens of wings on board uses them for protection rather than calls in other wings that jump in...

I fooled around with TBP and watched Sentris come out of a Typhon's fighterbay and made another mission where you're launched out of a Sharlin's fighterbay.
