Newbie question about fighters.

1) Are fighters destroyed when they encounter mines?

There is a line in the Settings textfile that controls this. In the unmodded game it's set to "true", which means yes they are.

2) Can fighters cause damage to a planet?

By weapons or ramming?

The ability of weapons to hit a planet is set in the Components text file. As long as that weapon has "planet" in its weapon target line, it will hit a planet. I think unmodded fighter weapons can hit planets, but I don't recall exactly.

Fighters can ram planets.
