Editing Ship (section)

====Light Craft====
These are small, fast, short-range craft that cannot operate independently, and must be carried into battle by larger ships or deployed from planetary defense hangars.
 
* [[Fighter]]s - Defined by the game as 500 tons or less, fighters can be produced in [[Fighter Factory|fighter factories]] rather than shipyards. They are stocked to carrier ships that have [[Hangar deck|hangar space]] and deployed in the field from a mobile platform. While fast and cheap, they normally have minimal weaponry or are used as a way to deploy [[Missile Launcher|box launchers]] en masse.

* [[Fast Attack Craft]] - Commonly shortened to FAC, a fast attack craft is any ship between 500 and 1000 tons. While they must be constructed at a shipyard like larger ships, any ship under 1000 tons is not required to have a [[Bridge]], which frees up space for extra weaponry or engine power. FACs are commonly deployed from carriers or planetary bases to limit the amount of fuel they must carry.
