When Fighters are recalled to their carriers, they go through a short Refueling period before they can be launched again. The duration of this period is based on the number of fighters in the squadron. During this refueling period, their shields are restored and the ammunition for their secondary weapons is reloaded, and after refueling completes, new fighters can be loaded into a tube to replace any fighters which were destroyed. | When Fighters are recalled to their carriers, they go through a short Refueling period before they can be launched again.

Unlike Drones, there is no Drone Control Range which limits the range at which Fighters can engage targets. The only limit on a fighter's engagement range is the extremely long targeting range of the carriers which launch them. | ||
Fighters have Destroyer to Cruiser-sized signature radii of 80-120m. Combined with their high speeds, this makes fighters most effectively targeted by Small or Medium weapons and drones. | Fighters have Destroyer to Cruiser-sized signature radii of 80-120m.
