'''Fighters''' are small ships that can attach to the outer hull of a [[ship]]. Currently, fighters are only usable by hostile ships designed to carry them. Fighters currently seem unable to re-attach to the launching ship after a battle ends.

Spawning a fighter in the [[Debug]] menu always spawns a hostile, unattached fighter. A player can only control a ship carrying fighters by editing a save game, but they will remain hostile to the player. The fighters will automatically launch when the ship carrying them is attacked. The fighters will focus on the attacking ship until it is destroyed, then they will begin to attack the player's ship.
Players will encounter fighters while completing [[Contract#Combat|Combat contracts]] or in systems labeled as hostile. They are small and agile but generally do minor damage individually. [[Weapon#Gatling Gun|Gatling guns]] appear to be the most efficient way to fight them off.
