Fighters: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

There are 3 types of fighters: Light (Anti-Subcapital), Heavy (Anti-Capital), and Support (EWAR). Each has a Tech 1 and Tech 2 variant, and squadron size. Light fighters and heavy fighters are further split between the roles they perform. Each type of fighter has a squadron size that determines how many individual fighters make up a squadron, and each carrier or supercarrier is limited by how many launch tubes exist for squadrons. Fighters are a lot larger, in volume, than drones. The skill {{sk|Fighter Hangar Management|icon=yes}} increases fighter hangar size by 5% per level.

All fighters are capable of warping, and will pursue a target into warp - the only escape from fighters is to jump system or to dock.

All fighters are capable of warping, and will pursue a target into warp - the only escape from fighters is to jump system or to dock. Fighters cannot receive remote assistance, such as repairs or shield boosting.

Each race has each its own fighters, and their damage matches the race's primary damage type, but otherwise they are very similar to each other. In order to use fighters you need to train {{sk|Fighters|icon=yes}} (5% damage bonus per level).
