Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
In the current lore, fighters have to be berthed when travelling in hyperspace
The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.
Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
hows about a compromise?when in hyperspace (no fighters allowed)the defending fleet has the option to drop out of hyperspace (fighters allowed) just for the battle for a large fuel cost, and the attacking fleet has the option to follow them. If the defending fleet cant afford the fuel cost they must try and fight or flee without fighters.
