Fighters

Slots for fighters don't seem to exist at all in Eos.

We could treat them as drones, but that might get a bit complicated as fighters have multiple fighters per flight (example: 4 out of a maximum of 9), while drones are always a 1/1 ratio.

It's probably best to add a new spot for them.

fit.fighter.add(Fighter(2948, state=State.active, count=4))

An example fighter from the JSON:

  "2948": {
    "descriptionID": 93600, 
    "typeID": 2948, 
    "graphicID": 10039, 
    "capacity": 0.0, 
    "description": "<font color=yellow>Subject:</font> Prototype Nation Vessel (ID:Shadow)<br>\r\n<font color=yellow>Military Specifications:</font> Heavy Fighter class vessel.

Yeah, fighters are a new thing and EOS was never updated for them AFAIK. While implementing them, we should consider adding the data that is also found here:

I would assume EOS should handle fighters and their abilities, along with DPS calcs and whatnot. This is something that I would really like @DarkFenX to look at and give opinion of..

So we want to support multiple languages?

It'd actually be pretty trivial to add support for that, at least for the stuff that CCP has already translated for us.

Also, dang it, I forgot about their special abilities.

We could do something like:

fit.fighter.add(Fighter(2948, state=State.active, count=4, ability1=active, ability2=offline))

But that could get fugly if CCP ever added fighters with more than 3 abilities....

No (well yes, but that's a different discussion), I was specifically referring to this data. https://gist.github.com/blitzmann/935c2d5b178d62205ba88a30463e8eda#file-fighterabilitiesbytype-json

It's currently hardcoded in pyfa which is less than ideal because I never got around to building out proper support for it.

Supported as of today
