As well, they make tremendous distractions - a flight of fast-moving M4s or M3s can tie up an enemy capital’s turrets, which correspondingly reduces its DPS on friendly ships, which improves your ships’ chances of victory. They are capable of running around to perform recon on enemy fleets, they can intercept inbound enemy fighters or bombers, harass enemy subcapitals and capitals, and in large enough numbers can serve as a significant source of DPS for the largest battles against several capital ships. This is not to say they are not important - the wisest fleet commander will make extensive use of fighters, as they can perform tasks suited to few other classes.
However, this tends to only apply to the variants, and each class is pretty set in its specific role.įighters are a flying paradox while they perform their jobs admirably, in larger battles they’re just cannon fodder. To avoid future questions : it will be compatable with XRM future updates as long as XRM's textfile 7027-L044.xml is not updated. Each class fills a specific role, although they are somewhat interchangeable - the Split Mamba Raider for example, despite being an M3 (Fighter), can function as an M4 (Interceptor), given that it can move at 346m/s once it is upgraded. X3 Albion Prelude + XRM users : Just extract the folders ''director'' & ''t'' into yr addon folder which forms your Albion Prelude installation directory. Fighters also hold the distinction of being able to be carried by carriers, and even a few capital combatant ships are able to carry a handful of these small spacecraft. Armed with the lightest weaponry and the weakest shielding, but alternatively possessing the best speed and agility in the game, these ships are the first stop for most players who go the combat route, especially with most of the starts getting you into a fighter of some sort as your starting ship. Consisting of the M5 Scout, M4 Interceptor, M4+ Light Fighter, M3 Standard Fighter, M3+ Heavy Fighter, M3S Strike Fighter/Heavy Interceptor, and M3B Fighter-Bomber classes, these ships are your typical ‘dogfighting in space’ starfighters.
