Difference between revisions of "Fighters"

Fighters come from Fighter Generators and are created inside your hull as Fighter Prefabs. These remote controlled ships are built on the fly inside your ship over time. They wait to be sent hurtling through the Fighter Bay on your ship out into space. Due to advanced manufacturing systems, all that is required to create these dronelike starships is energy, but it is quite a lot of power to materialize matter from nothing. Be warned, fighters use up energy both to be assembled and to be launched. The price is well worth it, though.

Fighters will attack whatever target the ship that launched them was targeting when they were launched. Fighters can find new targets if they lose track of their current one, or if their target is destroyed. If a fighter does not have a target, it will circle the launcher ship, to which it will return when its time expires.

To use a fighter, a Fighter Bay is required that is equal in tech to or higher than the tech of the fighter you wish to launch. To launch a fighter, select a target and double click or right click and hit use to launch the fighter. You can also drag it onto your hotbar and launch it via a hotkey.
