Default Re: Massive loss of fighters - please help!!!

I would say that the planet you attacked had a lot of Weapon Platforms. I ran into this problem too, and that was what it was. The AI had put 50 WP on one planet. (thought it was a bug at first) and when I attacked it, poof, no more fighters.

I learned to counter this with various types of fighters. Some have sheilds, some use just beam weapons while others use Rockets or Torpedos only.

You may want to consider specializing your fighters and setting a few up to be a specific type.

IE Bombers: Rocket Attack: Beam Attack:

Good luck.
