Nope, you can't pilot fighter wings. AFAIK, there's no mod for it either.

I guess I just don't understand what the difference between piloting a frigate and a fighter are. There are only two things a fighter can do that a frigate can't: repair mid battle and fly over stuff. A frigate can be just as fast, has better defenses, has more weapons, customization, blah blah blah ect.

I'm pretty sure there WAS a mod that allowed you to pilot the lead fighter in a "wing" (it made the lead fighter a frigate with the rest of your fighters as drones) but I'm not sure what happened to it...

You can change a fighters ship file to frigate, and you will  be able to command ONE of them.

this is the mod your looking for.
It never got downloadable but you could ask the creator to send you what he has.
he got the fighters working as you can see in the screens ,just not the campaign yet.
as far as i know he just abandoned it after a while.

Step-by-step:

1. Pick a fighter you want to pilot
2. copy his .ship file at \data\hulls
3. rename that .ship file
4. open the .ship file with an editor, if you are on Windows notepad should be available
5. change the hullId to whatever you want
    eg:     "hullId": "dagger", to "hullId": "blah",
6. change the "hullsize" to FRIGATE,
7. open up the ship_data.csv, Excel or Open Office Calc can open it
8. copy the row of the respective ship you want to pilot and paste it into a free row.
9. change the respective hullId to whatever your newly copied hullId is. Its the second collum.
10. Pilot the fighter


Of course this does not cover adding the new ship to the campaign, it only makes it pilotable inside "dev mode".

It is possible to create a mod in which you command a fighter wing.

The fighter you command/ fly will have to be a assigned a larger class than fighter. A frigate, for example. This should could be assigned a ship system that spawns several wingmen. So basically you'll be flying a fighter that can summon several other fightercraft to be your wingmen.

Actually, now that I think of it, this would be a fun mod to make. I might give it a go.

Guys, guys, you're missing out on the most basic and most logical solution that takes no less than four steps.

1. Go to Starsectorcore/data/config/settings

2. find the line "devMode" and change the "False" statement to "True"

3. Fire up the game, go to any battle (mission/campaign/sim)

4. Hover your mouse over a fighter (or bomber wing) and left-ctrl click them (primary mouse button/left).

5. ???

6. Profit.
