Air Superiority forbidden to choppers

[MercantileInterest]

Looks like the txt file can't disallow air superiority for choppers without denying it to other air units. If this could be done, we'd see a healthier mix of choppers and needle jets, instead of one replacing the other.

Of course, this could be much more easily solved as a multiplayer rule.

The major difference between choppers, needlejets, and gravships remains the potential fact that Needlejets have a much larger fuel range and, I think, a larger intercept range than choppers. The needlejet remains cheaper mineral cost than a comparable gravship, so the needlejet serves as a defensive aerial unit more than the copter.

Agreed.  Frankly, they all have uses in my opinion, though I do eventually phase out Needlejets in favor of Gravships.

Needlejets - longest single-turn range; best air superiority unit; best Aero Colony or Transport unit
Choppers - best assault unit with multi-attack per turn
Gravships - Infinite range; can take over bases; Gravship Formers and Supplies
