Summary0001429: New fighter stats breaks balance.
DescriptionMk I fighters now counter Mk I missile frigates:

Fighter: 750 dps, 81200 hp, 200 cost
VS
Frigate: 495 dps, 33600 hp, 800 cost

Fighters are also now effective against forcefields and pretty much any other target.

Owing to how the Frigate is configured, giving it the 10x treatment would have no impact on its dps vs fighters.

The rebalancing isn't done yet, but this is still pretty funny

Important note: The fighters damage was lowered without commensurate increase in their multipliers, halving their pre-armor damage vs bombers.

I would like to second this as massive fleets of fighters have been ripping up everything on my planets lately.

Iirc after this the fighter change went from 10x/.1x attack/bonuses to 5x/.2x, and I haven't heard concrete feedback since on fighters specifically since then. Please do chime in.

Also, fyi, missile frigates were significantly buffed (mostly the lower marks, the higher ones were already trouble enough when used by the AI) recently as well.

I'm not sure what the fighter vs frigate thing is as frigates still rip up fighters in my games, but the other half is that they are now a lot better against things they didn't have bonuses to before, like force fields and turrets (and frigates). I don't think it's too big a deal as before they were nearly ignorable if you had a force field around, and makes waves of them a little closer to bombers in fearsomeness, as well as makes them better for gate raiding.

Ok, it sounds like we're past the "fighter stats are so unbalanced as to be a bug" stage, then. Feel free to re-open or post a new issue if there are further suggestions :)
