Light Fighter

The first combat ship new players will create, Light Fighters have relatively low armor and simple weapons systems, and serve best as support ships in battle. They are the first to accompany small and large cargoes on raids to hostile planets with minor defenses.

Uses and Advantages

Light Fighters are the primary fodder ship of the game. Their agility and speed, paired with the number in which they often appear, can provide a shield-like buffer for bigger ships that are not quite as maneuverable. They also make up the lion’s share of moonshot fleets.

Shortcomings

Cruisers have Rapid-Fire against light fighters, and can eliminate them fairly easily. They will never beat a large shield dome unless their weapons technology is 11 levels or higher above the defender’s shielding technology.
