Fighter Stats

From PlanetsWiki

[edit] General

[edit] Cost

Price in megacredits. (Fighters do not require metals to produce)

[edit] Travel

[edit] Max Speed

LY Per turn the fighter can fly when in a wing.

• In a mixed wing, speed is limited by the slowest fighter type.

[edit] Max Range / Fuel

Max distance the fighter can fly in a wing before it needs to refuel

• In a Mixed Wing, Range is limited by the Fighter Type with the smaller fuel tank.
• For most fighters max. range = max. speed meaning that they can fly one turn without refueling.
• As fighters automatically refuel 10% of the max fuel they can carry, the effective max range is a bit higher.

[edit] Sensor Profile

Wings have a fixed stealth rating (basic Sensor Profile) of 200.

• Wings have an increased sensor profile based on the speed that they are traveling like ships do.

[edit] Race Specials

Cloaked Fighter Wings: The Birdman Republic wings start at a Sensor Profile of 20 (instead of 200) and only half of their speed is counted when increasing their profile (since Host 211).

[edit] Ground Combat

Similar to Assault Craft, fighters can take part in Ground Combat when they are inside a base.

[edit] Attack

Ground Attack attributes for attack vs. Air (fighters) / Assault Units / Troops / Cities

[edit] Defense

Ground Attack attributes for defense vs. Air (fighters) / Assault Units / Troops

[edit] Space Combat

Details on how the different stats work in Space Combat can also be found as pseudo-code here.

[edit] Quickness

Determines how fast a fighter wing will move during space combat.

[edit] Attack Rating

The ability of the fighter to bring its weapons to bare on the enemy target.

• In Wing vs Wing dogfights, Attack Rating is 100.

[edit] Evasive Rating

The ability to evade incoming enemy weapons fire.

[edit] Armor

The blast level that the fighter can take from Point Defense and other Fighters and have a chance of not being destroyed. Also helps reduce losses from Sand Caster shots.

• Armor greater than the PD Blast blocks the hit 60% of the time.
• Armor vs Fighters = Armor * Rnd (Random # from 0 to Armor-1)
• Armor greater than the Fighter blast might still be penetrated by a hit to the Soft Spot.
• Fighter Armor is not reduced by incoming fire.
• Anti-Fighter Computer allows Armor to block the PD shot only 40% of the time.
  • Fighter ECM Box jams the Anti-Fighter Computer so that Armor blocks the PD shot 70% of the time.

[edit] Exposed Systems

The fighters soft spot, the odds that a hit from another fighter could cause the fighter to explode.

If Rnd*20 < Exposed_Sys Then BOOM!  (5% chance per point of Exposed_Sys)

• A list of the Exposed Systems stats of all fighters can be found here.
• Not shown in Raceview and Data Pad, but in Wing Command - Data and in Raceview2

[edit] Energy

[edit] Generator

The rate that the fighter makes new power to charge its battery. The generator stat is doubled during combat initialization. Generator = 2 * Generator

[edit] Battery

The amount of power that the fighter can store up for an attack run.

• Shared between fighters of the same Type in a Wing.

[edit] Recharge Rate

For each fighter type in wing (energy not pooled between fighter types)

NewEnergy = (Generator * FighterCount) / 400 + 0.99
Energy    =  Energy + NewEnergy

Maximum of 1,000,000,000
Maximum of (Battery * FighterCount)

[edit] Beams

Each Fighter Type in a Wing attempts to aquire a target for its Beams 10 times each combat tick (potentially 10 attacks). If a Fighter Type group within a Wing is making an attack (see Range Modifiers) each fighter has only a 5% chance of actually firing per attack run.

[edit] Beam Range

Maximum Beam Range

• The following determine if an entire Fighter Type group will actually make a beam attack.
  • Range > 100km results in a 5% chance of firing. (no shot made:no energy used).
  • An Anti-Fighter Computer and Range > 60km results in a 30% chance of firing.
  • An Anti-Fighter Computer and Range > 100km results in a 1.5% chance of firing.

[edit] Beam Accuracy

• Base Accuracy only.
• Multiplied by ((100-target's_evasive_rating + fighter's_attack_rating)/100)
• Multiplied by ((MaxRange-Range)/MaxRange * 0.4 + 0.6)
• Odds vs Ships reduced by # of enemy Holo Decoys / 30.

[edit] Beam Power
