Fighter Bay Upgrades & Planet Fighter Collection
Expand your ship's fighter capacity at StarDock, and finally collect the fighters your planets have been producing. Plus Discord notification improvements for PvP kills.
Fighter Bay Upgrades & Planet Fighter Collection
Two long-requested features land together: expandable fighter bays at StarDock, and the ability to collect fighters from your planets.
Fighter Bay Upgrades
Your ship now has an upgradeable fighter bay. Visit any StarDock to expand your capacity beyond the base class limit:
| Tier | Bonus | Cumulative (Merchant) | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fighter Bay Mk I | +50 capacity | 250 | 50,000 cr |
| Fighter Bay Mk II | +150 capacity | 350 | 150,000 cr |
| Fighter Bay Mk III | +300 capacity | 500 | 300,000 cr |
Upgrades are sequential — you must purchase Mk I before Mk II, and Mk II before Mk III. Purchased capacity persists across sessions and is enforced when buying or collecting fighters.
Your current fighter capacity is displayed in the StarDock under a new Fighter Bay section, and on your Ship Status panel in the main sector view.
Planet Fighter Collection
Planets have been producing fighters for a while — but there was no way to use them. Now you can:
- Withdraw fighters from a planet to your ship — open the Planet Modal, switch to the Transport tab, and transfer fighters just like fuel or equipment.
- Deposit fighters from your ship to a planet — store your fleet on a planet for safekeeping.
Collected fighters respect your Fighter Bay capacity. If you try to withdraw more than your ship can carry, you’ll be prompted to upgrade at StarDock first. Planet fighter storage caps still apply (based on planet class and citadel level).
Other Improvements
- Discord notification reliability improved for PvP kills — Fighter Bay and bounty webhook secrets are now properly recognized by the server.
- Fighter Bay upgrades appear alongside existing upgrades at StarDock with consistent pricing and prerequisite rules.
- The Fighters & Mines and StarDock guides have been updated with the new features.
