== Fighter Improving Modules ==

~~Fighters are considered to be Drones for purposes of modules improving their characteristics. This means there are several~~ modules which improve ~~the performance of~~ Fighters.

Many modules which improve Drones also improve Fighters. All modules in this list are subject to [[Stacking penalties]]

* Drone Damage Amplifiers ~~increase Fighter damage~~

{|class=wikitable style="width: 900px;background:#111111"

* Drone Navigation ~~Computers increase~~ fighter ~~base~~ speed

|-

* Omnidirectional Tracking ~~Enhancers~~ and ~~Links improve~~ fighter ~~weapons~~' ~~range and~~ damage ~~application~~

|style="text-align:center;background:#222222" colspan = 2| High slot modules

* The Carrier-~~specific Fighter Support Unit~~ increases fighter velocity, ~~shield strength~~, ~~shield regeneration~~, and ~~weapons rate-of-fire~~

|'''{{co|wheat|Fighter support unit}}''' improves the rate of fire, velocity, shield HP, and shield recharge rate of fighters by 5% for T1 variants, and 6% for T2 variants. Since these modules boost rate of fire rather than raw damage, they do not share stacking penalties with Drone Damage Amplifiers.

|'''{{co|wheat|Drone Navigation Computer}}''' increases fighter speed by 25% (30% for the Tech 2 variant).

|-

|[[File:Icon tracking enhancer.png|link=|]]

|'''{{co|wheat|Omnidirectional Tracking Link}}''' increases fighter weapon optimal and falloff ranges, increases weapon explosion velocity and decreases explosion radius. Can be loaded with scripts to either double the range bonus or the application bonus, at the cost of eliminating the other bonus. Long-ranged heavy fighters can benefit from the range bonus, and all fighters can benefit from the application bonus when engaging cruisers and smaller ships. Unlike all other fighter-enhancing modules, these need to be activated to provide their effects.

|'''{{co|wheat|Drone Damage Amplifier}}''' increases the damage your fighters deal by 15% (20.5% for the Tech 2 variant).

|'''{{co|wheat|Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer}}''' increases fighter weapon optimal and falloff ranges, increases weapon explosion velocity and decreases explosion radius. It's similar to the mid-slot Omnidirectional Tracking Link module, but provides slightly higher bonuses to range, and slightly lower bonuses to tracking. Also, it cannot be scripted, and is a passive module (i.e. it does not need to be activated and uses no capacitor energy).

~~Fighters are not affected by Drone Control Range. The only limit on their usable range is the uniquely extremely long range of their carrier's targeting sensors.~~
