Yes, the behaviour can be improved. My idea was/is to introduce doctrine files which belongs to a mission (->

For example you can create an AEW patrol, which moves with the carrier, which cannot be accomplished in the mission editor.
As far as I'm remember you can improve the behaviour of fighter/missle behaviour ("firing on ghost objects") a little.
The main drawback is, that you cannot create a generic doctrine to improve certain things, like AEW patrol, because the scripts presuppose a fitting mission. See my other thread.
Unfortunately I've forgotten to backup my doctrines files before I've switched to Vista, else I would post some examples.
But nevertheless I hope to start with a mission the next weekend and then I'll revisit that topic.
If there is some interest I can provide then some examples here or in the Wiki.
