Im trying to change fighters spawns for ships that are boardable. I've been able to change fighter loadouts on new republic ships, but if I try for the venator, it doesn't seem to work. I saw Corey's recent video going over fighter spawns, but I need to figure out how to make changes without breaking fighter spawns on any one ship. I've looked at the generic venator.lau file and I can see ["REBEL_X-WING_SQUADRON"] = {
REBEL = {Initial = 1, Reserve = 4}

I assume the second line means "If the faction owner is rebels then spawn a squadron of X-wings. But if I cut and paste that line to
["ARC_170_SQUADRON"] = {
INDEPENDENT_FORCES = {Initial = 1, Reserve = 3}
REBEL = {Initial = 1, Reserve = 4}

Then the fighter spawn seems to break and doesn't work at all. But if i go into the XML unit file for frigates, find 'venator' it only lists the hutts, penastar alignment and corporate sector as possible owners. Should I just copy paste the section for "generic venator" and change the affiliation to rebels?
