Any tips for building fighters?

[SneakyTacts]

Never mind! I eventually found a nice post here: https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,4937.0.html

 

The most helpful comments are at the bottom. One dude showed off his cool fighter-producing buddy ship. Kamo provided detailed information. Others had less to add, although they pointed out the differences between fighter damages and the original turrets. Turns out, the ship save affects only how the fighter appears.

 

I think I’ll build a relatively large and slow ship with my first ever fighters, tomorrow. Can anyone provide a few tips for when I build the fighters and what stats to strengthen in the factory? Are my fighters better when the selected save has good stats or does the save I pick affect them only visually?
