A fighter is a military craft designed primarily for attacking other aircraft, as opposed to a bomber, which is designed to attack heavier targets, primarily by dropping bombs or other weapons. Fighters are comparatively small, fast, and maneuverable. In Freelancer, they are the most commonly used class of ships.
This page is broken down into two distinct sections: Stock fighters and Discovery fighters. The term 'stock' is meant to imply a craft from the original version of Freelancer, but with the changes implemented in the Discovery Mod. Discovery fighters are, obviously, the new ships added in this Mod.
Please note: These ships prices are the correct prices for the hull of the ship, less all equipment. For the full price and any additional information, please visit the individual ship pages. As at 21 July 2008
