Default Re: Proper use of fighters

My tactic with fighters, is to expect that they will be disposable. The Patch makes it a lot easier to find and replace them. I usually have enough launch bays to have 10 fighters out at a time. Launch before engaging (if possible), form up on me, then send them in to attack a specific target. I sit back and use long range weapons. I try to recover and relaunch them periodicly and attempt to have enough in storage that WHEN I lose some, I can replace them and always have 10 out. Works great, but can be costly so I wouldn't recommend it unless you are in a situation where cash isn't a issue.

Oh, and diversity with fighters is key. Seems to have much better results with a mix bag of fighters.
