it sucks, but from what i've seen if the community wants fighters, we'll have to fund them ourselves (this seems to be the case with warships as well). i'm with you though, there are a bunch of second line clan fighters and the 2750 star league fighter that i would absolutely love to have in mech scale.
on the bright side however, we are getting the zero, ironsides and hammerhead at some point, last i heard they were at IWM, they just haven't been slotted into the schedule yet
