Fighters

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, unmodified version of Freelancer. Discovery fighters are, obviously, the modified inclusions or revisions to the original set of crafts.
