Light Fighter

The Light Fighter is an inexpensive early combat ship with limited cargo and durability.

Base statistics

Property	Value
Structural integrity	8,000
Shield	20
Attack	100
Speed	15,000
Cargo capacity	100
Fuel coefficient	30

These are base values before research. Structural integrity is not battle hull: combat uses one tenth of integrity. Fuel is a coefficient for the flight calculation, not a fixed price per trip.

Construction

Resource	Base cost per unit
Metal	6,000
Crystal	2,000
Deuterium	0

Requirements: Shipyard 1.

Material Physics reduces the resource price. Use the construction screen for the modified quote and timer. Ship construction also costs Credits from this galaxy’s wallet; check the full quote before ordering.

Use and limitations

Use it for light targets or a mixed fleet, but scout for Cruisers and Heavy Fighters: both gain rapidfire against it. Large numbers do not remove that weakness.

Drive research modifies fleet speed. Its bonus grows by completed five-level research tiers, not fixed percentage points each level. Hyperspace Technology modifies cargo.

Rapidfire is a chance of another shot after a hit, not a guaranteed number of kills. See rapidfire and test important matchups in the simulator.
