Do fighters receive racial/cultural bonuses ?
AFAIK, no. Not sure about fleet experience either.

It was a while ago, maybe it was changed on a patch at some point, but I ran a series of test in a two player game with one system and did fighter/ship battles hot seat to see what the tohit chances were like. Fleet training was factored in as well as cultural and racial bonuses.

I was very surprised that Racial Ship Attacj and Defense bonsuses were factored in there because prior to my test, I thought the Racial Ship Combat sonsus were for ships, not units. They apply to ships and units equally.
