What are the best fighters you have seen?
Hey guys. Trying to have a fighter competition with my friends and i wanted to grab a few of the better fighters on the workshop to help teach them. Any fighter blueprints would be much appreciated. Also tips on what makes good fighters as well. Cheers!

Hi, it depends on the combat rules, I mean it's not the same when using turrets, only 6 turrets on a small ship Fighter can destroy a Pirate station in a few seconds/minutes for example and can take more time using only Gatling Guns and Rocket Launchers...

You may use a Premade PVP world I've shared, there are rules for Dogfight and car/ship race Parkour on LCDs + try the Fighters I linked in, that will give you a good starting arena with Fighters to try.

Workshop item "Planet Arena" :

I can share how I made my best space "tank", it's small block ship with 6 turrets on it and can destroy all turrets of the Moon Pirate station in a few sec. with minimum of damages done to the Fighter.

It is a 2 ships in 1, a tiny small ship in the center made with Heavy armor blocks with all the needed for a small ship + a second small ship around the tiny ship, a skin that can be damaged in combat :

+ Good Tip
Adding Decoys on wings/arms, temp arms that can be detroyed will give the window you need to destroy the enemy turrets while they are busy shooting at the decoys.

=
Adding 6 turrets on a ship is a minimum, that gives you a value to start with and adding more turrets is the key to detroy faster :selike:

The best fighters are typically large-grid and are associated with the name battleship.

My ships are lovers, not fighters.

I fought a lot online and what counts is ship skill, i.e. dodge, do not make hybrids is a lost project immediately rob fighters dedicated to tasks otherwise you will build a universal scrap, my ships are always tested and this is the basis for how long they can withstand and if they can withstand a hit.
