Fighters

Fighters will attack whatever target the ship that launched them was targeting when they were launched. Some fighters can find new targets if they lose track of their current one, or if their target is destroyed.

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.

See Fighter Testing for fighter DPS numbers.

Note: Fighter page is being reworked. To see the old list of fighters, check the discussion page.
