Fighter 'Classes'

[AeternusDoleo]

What makes a light fighter?
- Light fighter shields.
- Highly maneuverable.
- Low hull - splat when meeting a nuke mine, even with AU8.
- 4 primary guns, usually no fighter torpedo

What makes a heavy fighter?
- 4 to 6 guns
- Mediocre maneuverability
- Up to class 9 shields
- Doesn't carry class 10 guns

What makes a very heavy fighter?
- Heavy powercore and armor
- Relatively poor maneuverability
- Does class 10 guns, usually 4 of em. And 2 clas 9's, sometimes an additional turret.
- Class 10 HF shields
- Can use fighter torpedos

What makes a super heavy fighter?
- Can use multiple fighter torpedos OR a bomber torpedo
- Freighter-sized powercore
- Freighter-like maneuverability
- Uses freighter shields
- Bomber-like armor


But frankly, the distinctions between HF, VHF and SHF are really subjective. They all belong to the same basic class of ship - Heavy fighter.
