Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.
== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==
Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.
=== The Controls ===
Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit C to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt Key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay put.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for <s>pulling sick drifts</s> turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, fighters have it off by default.
=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:
* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Once the engine is on, deactivate the APU to preserve fuel.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.

=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches between your primary and secondary mounts. The primary mount will typically be your fighter cannon, and the secondary will be a missile or torpedo launcher.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can only hold so many at a time, and they can be shot down with PDC (Point Defense Cannon) rounds or flak, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about the fighter cannon.

Fighter cannons are fully automatic and are your go-to choice for dealing damage. Heavy and light cannons hold ammunition, and will need to be reloaded often. If you find yourself running out of ammo during battle, don't hesitate to leave your squadron and return to base for immediate rearming. 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar. That is, if you have a functioning docking computer installed in your fighter.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Before you can get out into space, you're gonna need to move your fighter without scraping the ground and ruining your armor. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor. This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are several types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers, and Carriers with bombers and interceptors, and all have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Avoid anti-air frigates, because they won't be avoiding you. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give most capital ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railguns and gauss weapons for precisely this purpose. Heavy fighters armed with torpedoes and BRRRRT are more capable of handling capital ships, but skill and caution are a necessary component for survival when busting bigger foes.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles, and since nobody else is with them, no raptor goes to pick them up.
=== Hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.
=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
Yes, yes it is. You are now completely ship-less and dead Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Fortunately for you it's 100% possible to be cloned. As it turns out, those suit sensors are good for something after all... You did turn them on right?
=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except it's armaments. 
Raptors are designed as a support vessel. And because of this they are able to sport a selection of unique equipment which allows you to assist the fighters <s>and board enemy ships</s>:
====Cargo Hold====
The cargo hold is by far the most well-known piece of utility equipment and does exactly what you would think, it stores anything the size of or smaller than a crate which can later be dropped off somewhere else. It has three upgrade tiers and takes up the primary equipment slot of the craft:
* A tier one cargo hold can store up to 5 crate-sized objects.
* Tier two cargo holds have a capacity of 10.
* The third tier cargo hold has space for 20 things!
====Repair Kit====
The air-to-air repair kit is a piece of machinery which allows you to repair the hull of other ships! It does this by using hull repair juice tanks and power, which it shoots at the target in a beam. Of course this is only intended to be used on small craft, and using it on the main ship would be next to useless outside of a dire situation. 
Just like the cargo hold the repair kit takes up the primary equipment slot and has three different tiers, each of which reduces the firing delay of the beam.
====Resupply Kit====
Much like the repair kit, the resupply kit is used to assist other fighters out on the field. Though instead of repairing damaged hull, the resupply kit allows you to restock fighters on ammunition and fuel. It even allows you to jumpstart their battery! 
The main catch is however, that the resupply beam feeds directly from your battery and fuel tank into the target's, so watch out not to drain your own fuel tank or battery while refueling and starting up other craft. 
Of course the kit can't just make ammo out of thin air, so in order to use it for supplying ammunition you will also need a cargo hold with the ammunition that's being loaded inside of it. 
To allow both a cargo hold and a resupply kit to be mounted on your ship at the same time, the resupply kit only takes up the secondary slot.

== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.
=== Opening the maintenance panel ===
To remove components from your fighter, you will need to engage maintenance mode. To do this, swipe an ID with fighter access and select the second option, then hop in. When inside, you will be able to eject components of your choice. This is important for fixing flooded engines, which I will go into detail about below.
=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?). Repairing hull damage is as simple as patching it up with a welding tool, be sure to wear a helmet unless you want to fly blind.
=== Repairing armor damage ===
So you managed to survive combat only taking a little bit of <s>friendly</s> enemy fire to the face, and now you need to fix your armor, but smashing the welder into the ship does nothing! Worry not, the procedure is simple; just get your hands on a new set of plating. If the spares bay in the hangar is empty, cargo can supply more from their handy techfab, provided that science has done the appropriate research.
=== Replacing missiles and torpedoes ===
If you've launched both of your rockets, and your cannon just isn't doing it for you, return to hangar for resupply. Refilling launchers is surprisingly simple:

Grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will typically be strewn randomly about the hangar. Three torpedo types are available: NTP-2 Standard, NTP-4 'BNKR', NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:

Heavy fighters use torpedo launchers, which can support a number of torpedoes:
* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTP-4 is essentially a better version of the standard, but costs more to build.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.
Click and drag up to four missiles onto the trolley bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship.

Light fighters use missiles. These deal light damage, but are far cheaper than torpedoes.
=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.
Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, grab the hose, and click said Fighter.
=== Fixing a faulty engine ===
Failing to start a space fighter correctly will result in its engine becoming flooded with fuel. If you hear "Fighter engine violently fizzles out!" in the chatbox, you're in trouble, as your engine has become flooded and will no longer function until it has been fixed.

Fortunately, fixing this issue is as simple as finding yourself a screwdriver. Swipe your ID on the chassis, and engage maintenance mode. Enter the ship, find the engine component, and eject it. Hop out of the fighter, and use a screwdriver on the engine to purge the fuel. After this is done, disengage maintenance protocols, replace the engine, and you're golden.
=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]] (Or just order an aviation fuel crate)
==== We've run out of rockets ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from [[Guide_to_Munitions#Acquiring_ammunition|Munitions]].
==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts in their departmental protolathe, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process. If you get stuck during the assembly, examine the fighter chassis to see what needs done next.
#Choose a chassis, light, heavy, or utility, and fabricate it.
#Bolt and weld the chassis.
#Install an engine of your choice and bolt it to the frame.
#Install the auxiliary power unit (APU), wire it to the engine with cable coil, and secure it with a screwdriver.
#Add the fighter fuel tank and secure the bolts with a wrench.
#Install avionics, wire it together with the other components, and screw it in place.
#Add a targeting sensor and screw it in.
#Add the countermeasure dispenser and wrench the bolts.
#Add fighter armour plating, bolt and weld it on. Keep in mind that the armour you choose to use will have an affect on your mobility during flight.
#Select a primary mount. Light and heavy fighters will use cannons. Bolt it in place when you've made your mind up.
#Select a secondary mount. (Missile launcher, torpedo launcher) and bolt it in.
#Use an airlock painter to paint the surface of your complete frame! This step will need to be repeated, once for the surface and once for the details.
#Click on the fighter with an empty hand to finalize it. This will open a confirmation box, so make sure you have moved the frame to the hangar bay or open space before finishing the job.
#The fighter isn't ready to go just yet. You need to install a battery for it to function, and the primary and secondary mounts will need ammunition. If you're using a fabricated fuel tank, you should refuel it with tyrosene.
#Be sure to install a fighter docking computer if you want to leave the Z-level and go onto the overmap.
#Mount an atmospheric regulator if you enjoy breathing without the need for a suit.
#A canopy is needed unless you want to be peppered with enemy bullets.
#You can rename your finished fighter by using the ships verb tab. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"
== Bonus Information ==
* You can change the name of your fighter in the Ship panel.
* If you have the required access, you can swipe your ID on a fighter to boot the current occupants out and enable the inertia dampeners. Useful for that one griffing bastard or when your Raptor's "Cargo" is saying mean things.

Cenrus: remove pod

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.
== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==
Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.
=== The Controls ===
Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit C to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt Key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay put.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for <s>pulling sick drifts</s> turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, fighters have it off by default.
=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:
* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.
=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches between your primary and secondary mounts. The primary mount will typically be your fighter cannon, and the secondary will be a missile or torpedo launcher.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can only hold so many at a time, and they can be shot down with PDC (Point Defense Cannon) rounds or flak, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about the fighter cannon.

Fighter cannons are fully automatic and are your go-to choice for dealing damage. Heavy and light cannons hold ammunition, and will need to be reloaded often. If you find yourself running out of ammo during battle, don't hesitate to leave your squadron and return to base for immediate rearming. 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar. That is, if you have a functioning docking computer installed in your fighter.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Before you can get out into space, you're gonna need to move your fighter without scraping the ground and ruining your armor. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor. This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are several types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers, and Carriers with bombers and interceptors, and all have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Avoid anti-air frigates, because they won't be avoiding you. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give most capital ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railguns and gauss weapons for precisely this purpose. Heavy fighters armed with torpedoes and BRRRRT are more capable of handling capital ships, but skill and caution are a necessary component for survival when busting bigger foes.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles.

== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.
=== Opening the maintenance panel ===
To remove components from your fighter, you will need to engage maintenance mode. To do this, swipe an ID with fighter access and select the second option, then hop in. When inside, you will be able to eject components of your choice. This is important for fixing flooded engines, which I will go into detail about below.
=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?). Repairing hull damage is as simple as patching it up with a welding tool, be sure to wear a helmet unless you want to fly blind.
=== Repairing armor damage ===
So you managed to survive combat only taking a little bit of <s>friendly</s> enemy fire to the face, and now you need to fix your armor, but smashing the welder into the ship does nothing! Worry not, the procedure is simple; just get your hands on a new set of plating. If the spares bay in the hangar is empty, cargo can supply more from their handy techfab, provided that science has done the appropriate research.
=== Replacing missiles and torpedoes ===
If you've launched both of your rockets, and your cannon just isn't doing it for you, return to hangar for resupply. Refilling launchers is surprisingly simple:

Grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will typically be strewn randomly about the hangar. Three torpedo types are available: NTP-2 Standard, NTP-4 'BNKR', NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:

Heavy fighters use torpedo launchers, which can support a number of torpedoes:
* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTP-4 is essentially a better version of the standard, but costs more to build.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.
Click and drag up to four missiles onto the trolley bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship.

Light fighters use missiles. These deal light damage, but are far cheaper than torpedoes.
=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.
Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, grab the hose, and click said Fighter.
=== Fixing a faulty engine ===
Failing to start a space fighter correctly will result in its engine becoming flooded with fuel. If you hear "Fighter engine violently fizzles out!" in the chatbox, you're in trouble, as your engine has become flooded and will no longer function until it has been fixed.

Fortunately, fixing this issue is as simple as finding yourself a screwdriver. Swipe your ID on the chassis, and engage maintenance mode. Enter the ship, find the engine component, and eject it. Hop out of the fighter, and use a screwdriver on the engine to purge the fuel. After this is done, disengage maintenance protocols, replace the engine, and you're golden.
=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]] (Or just order an aviation fuel crate)
==== We've run out of rockets ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from [[Guide_to_Munitions#Acquiring_ammunition|Munitions]].
==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts in their departmental protolathe, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process. If you get stuck during the assembly, examine the fighter chassis to see what needs done next.
#Choose a chassis, light, heavy, or utility, and fabricate it.
#Bolt and weld the chassis.
#Install an engine of your choice and bolt it to the frame.
#Install the auxiliary power unit (APU), wire it to the engine with cable coil, and secure it with a screwdriver.
#Add the fighter fuel tank and secure the bolts with a wrench.
#Install avionics, wire it together with the other components, and screw it in place.
#Add a targeting sensor and screw it in.
#Add the countermeasure dispenser and wrench the bolts.
#Add fighter armour plating, bolt and weld it on. Keep in mind that the armour you choose to use will have an affect on your mobility during flight.
#Select a primary mount. Light and heavy fighters will use cannons. Bolt it in place when you've made your mind up.
#Select a secondary mount. (Missile launcher, torpedo launcher) and bolt it in.
#Use an airlock painter to paint the surface of your complete frame! This step will need to be repeated, once for the surface and once for the details.
#Click on the fighter with an empty hand to finalize it. This will open a confirmation box, so make sure you have moved the frame to the hangar bay or open space before finishing the job.
#The fighter isn't ready to go just yet. You need to install a battery for it to function, and the primary and secondary mounts will need ammunition. If you're using a fabricated fuel tank, you should refuel it with tyrosene.
#Be sure to install a fighter docking computer if you want to leave the Z-level and go onto the overmap.
#Mount an atmospheric regulator if you enjoy breathing without the need for a suit.
#A canopy is needed unless you want to be peppered with enemy bullets.
#You can rename your finished fighter by using the ships verb tab. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"
== Bonus Information ==
* You can change the name of your fighter in the Ship panel.
* Raptors can hold an infinite number of escape pods.
* If you have the required access, you can swipe your ID on a fighter to boot the current occupants out and enable the inertia dampeners. Useful for that one griffing bastard or when one of your fellow pilots has become a cadaver.

Cenrus: /* We've run out of fighters */

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.
== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==
Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.
=== The Controls ===
Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit C to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt Key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay put.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for <s>pulling sick drifts</s> turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, fighters have it off by default.
=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:
* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.
=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches between your primary and secondary mounts. The primary mount will typically be your fighter cannon, and the secondary will be a missile or torpedo launcher.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can only hold so many at a time, and they can be shot down with PDC (Point Defense Cannon) rounds or flak, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about the fighter cannon.

Fighter cannons are fully automatic and are your go-to choice for dealing damage. Heavy and light cannons hold ammunition, and will need to be reloaded often. If you find yourself running out of ammo during battle, don't hesitate to leave your squadron and return to base for immediate rearming. 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar. That is, if you have a functioning docking computer installed in your fighter.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Everybody needs a nice tug now and again, and as a fighter pilot you more than anyone will need constant tugging. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor. This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are several types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers, and Carriers with bombers and interceptors, and all have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Avoid anti-air frigates, because they won't be avoiding you. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give most capital ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railguns and gauss weapons for precisely this purpose. Heavy fighters armed with torpedoes and BRRRRT are more capable of handling capital ships, but skill and caution are a necessary component for survival when busting bigger foes.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles, and since nobody else is with them, no raptor goes to pick them up.
=== Hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.
=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:
=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.
== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

=== Opening the maintenance panel ===

To remove components from your fighter, you will need to engage maintenance mode. To do this, swipe an ID with fighter access and select the second option, then hop in. When inside, you will be able to eject components of your choice. This is important for fixing flooded engines, which I will go into detail about below.

=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?). Repairing hull damage is as simple as patching it up with a welding tool, be sure to wear a helmet unless you want to fly blind.

=== Repairing armor damage ===
So you managed to survive combat only taking a little bit of <s>friendly</s> enemy fire to the face, and now you need to fix your armor, but smashing the welder into the ship does nothing! Worry not, the procedure is simple; just get your hands on a new set of plating. If the spares bay in the hangar is empty, cargo can supply more from their handy techfab, provided that science has done the appropriate research.

=== Replacing missiles and torpedoes ===
If you've launched both of your rockets, and your cannon just isn't doing it for you, return to hangar for resupply. Refilling launchers is surprisingly simple:

Grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will typically be strewn randomly about the hangar. Three torpedo types are available: NTP-2 Standard, NTP-4 'BNKR', NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:

Heavy fighters use torpedo launchers, which can support a number of torpedoes:

* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTP-4 is essentially a better version of the standard, but costs more to build.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.
Click and drag up to four missiles onto the trolley bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship.

Light fighters use missiles. These deal light damage, but are far cheaper than torpedoes.

=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.
Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, grab the hose, and click said Fighter.

=== Fixing a faulty engine ===
Failing to start a space fighter correctly will result in its engine becoming flooded with fuel. If you hear "Fighter engine violently fizzles out!" in the chatbox, you're in trouble, as your engine has become flooded and will no longer function until it has been fixed.

Fortunately, fixing this issue is as simple as finding yourself a screwdriver. Swipe your ID on the chassis, and engage maintenance mode. Enter the ship, find the engine component, and eject it. Hop out of the fighter, and use a screwdriver on the engine to purge the fuel. After this is done, disengage maintenance protocols, replace the engine, and you're golden.

=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]] (Or just order an aviation fuel crate)
==== We've run out of rockets ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from [[Guide_to_Munitions#Acquiring_ammunition|Munitions]].
==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts in their departmental protolathe, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process. If you get stuck during the assembly, examine the fighter chassis to see what needs done next.

Cenrus: /* We've run out of fighters */ typo

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.
== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==
Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.
=== The Controls ===
Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit C to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.
=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches between your primary and secondary mounts. The primary mount will typically be your fighter cannon, and the secondary will be a missile or torpedo launcher.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can only hold so many at a time, and they can be shot down with PDC (Point Defense Cannon) rounds or flak, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about the fighter cannon.

This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar. That is, if you have a functioning docking computer installed in your fighter.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Everybody needs a nice tug now and again, and as a fighter pilot you more than anyone will need constant tugging. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor. This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are several types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers, and Carriers with bombers and interceptors, and all have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Avoid anti-air frigates, because they won't be avoiding you. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give most capital ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railguns and gauss weapons for precisely this purpose. Heavy fighters armed with torpedoes and BRRRRT are more capable of handling capital ships, but skill and caution are a necessary component for survival when busting bigger foes.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles, and since nobody else is with them, no raptor goes to pick them up.
=== Hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.
=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:
=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.
== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

=== Opening the maintenance panel ===

To remove components from your fighter, you will need to engage maintenance mode. To do this, swipe an ID with fighter access and select the second option, then hop in. When inside, you will be able to eject components of your choice. This is important for fixing flooded engines, which I will go into detail about below.

=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?). Repairing hull damage is as simple as patching it up with a welding tool, be sure to wear a helmet unless you want to fly blind.

=== Repairing armor damage ===
So you managed to survive combat only taking a little bit of <s>friendly</s> enemy fire to the face, and now you need to fix your armor, but smashing the welder into the ship does nothing! Worry not, the procedure is simple; just get your hands on a new set of plating. If the spares bay in the hangar is empty, cargo can supply more from their handy techfab, provided that science has done the appropriate research.

=== Replacing missiles and torpedoes ===
If you've launched both of your rockets, and your cannon just isn't doing it for you, return to hangar for resupply. Refilling launchers is surprisingly simple:

Grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will typically be strewn randomly about the hangar. Three torpedo types are available: NTP-2 Standard, NTP-4 'BNKR', NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:

Heavy fighters use torpedo launchers, which can support a number of torpedoes:

* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTP-4 is essentially a better version of the standard, but costs more to build.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.
Click and drag up to four missiles onto the trolley bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship.

Light fighters use missiles. These deal light damage, but are far cheaper than torpedoes.

=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.
Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, grab the hose, and click said Fighter.

=== Fixing a faulty engine ===
Failing to start a space fighter correctly will result in its engine becoming flooded with fuel. If you hear "Fighter engine violently fizzles out!" in the chatbox, you're in trouble, as your engine has become flooded and will no longer function until it has been fixed.

Fortunately, fixing this issue is as simple as finding yourself a screwdriver. Swipe your ID on the chassis, and engage maintenance mode. Enter the ship, find the engine component, and eject it. Hop out of the fighter, and use a screwdriver on the engine to purge the fuel. After this is done, disengage maintenance protocols, replace the engine, and you're golden.

=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]] (Or just order an aviation fuel crate)
==== We've run out of rockets ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from [[Guide_to_Munitions#Acquiring_ammunition|Munitions]].
==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts in their departmental protolathe, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process. If you get stuck during the assembly, examine the fighter chassis to see what needs done next.

#Choose a chassis, light, heavy, or utility, and fabricate it.
#Bolt and weld the chassis.
#Install an engine of your choice and bolt it to the frame.
#Install the auxiliary power unit (APU), wire it to the engine with cable coil, and secure it with a screwdriver.
#Add the fighter fuel tank and secure the bolts with a wrench.
#Install avionics, wire it together with the other components, and screw it in place.
#Add a targeting sensor and screw it in.
#Add the countermeasure dispenser and wrench the bolts.
#Add fighter armour plating, bolt and weld it on. Keep in mind that the armour you choose to use will have an affect on your mobility during flight.
#Select a primary mount. Light and heavy fighters will use cannons. Bolt it in place when you've made your mind up.
#Select a secondary mount. (Missile launcher, torpedo launcher) and bolt it in.
#Use an airlock painter to paint the surface of your complete frame! This step will need to be repeated, once for the surface and once for the details.
#Click on the fighter with an empty hand to finalize it. This will open a confirmation box, so make sure you have moved the frame to the hangar bay or open space before finishing the job.
#The fighter isn't ready to go just yet. You need to install a battery for it to function, and the primary and secondary mounts will need ammunition. If you're using a fabricated fuel tank, you should refuel it with tyrosene.
#Be sure to install a fighter docking computer if you want to leave the Z-level and go onto the overmap.
#Install an atmospheric regulator if you enjoy breathing without the need for a suit.
#You can rename your finished fighter by using the ships verb tab. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"

== Bonus Information ==
* You can change the name of your fighter in the Ship panel.
* Raptors can hold an infinite number of escape pods.
* If you have the required access, you can swipe your ID on a fighter to boot the current occupants out and enable the inertia dampeners. Useful for that one griffing bastard or when your Raptor rescue has become a cadaver.

Cenrus: /* Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement */ 3.0 update

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.
== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==
Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.
=== The Controls ===
Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit C to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt Key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay put.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for <s>pulling sick drifts</s> turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, fighters have it off by default.
=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:
* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.
=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches between your primary and secondary mounts. The primary mount will typically be your fighter cannon, and the secondary will be a missile or torpedo launcher.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can only hold so many at a time, and they can be shot down with PDC (Point Defense Cannon) rounds or flak, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about the fighter cannon.

Fighter cannons are fully automatic and are your go-to choice for dealing damage. Heavy and light cannons hold ammunition, and will need to be reloaded often. If you find yourself running out of ammo during battle, don't hesitate to leave your squadron and return to base for immediate rearming. 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar. That is, if you have a functioning docking computer installed in your fighter.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Everybody needs a nice tug now and again, and as a fighter pilot you more than anyone will need constant tugging. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor. This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

=== Hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.
=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:
=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.
== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.
=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches between your primary and secondary mounts. The primary mount will typically be your fighter cannon, and the secondary will be a missile or torpedo launcher.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can only hold so many at a time, and they can be shot down with PDC (Point Defense Cannon) rounds or flak, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about the fighter cannon.

Fighter cannons are fully automatic and are your go-to choice for dealing damage. Heavy and light cannons hold ammunition, and will need to be reloaded often. If you find yourself running out of ammo during battle, don't hesitate to leave your squadron and return to base for immediate rearming. 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar. That is, if you have a functioning docking computer installed in your fighter.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Everybody needs a nice tug now and again, and as a fighter pilot you more than anyone will need constant tugging. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor. This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are several types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers, and Carriers with bombers and interceptors, and all have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Avoid anti-air frigates, because they won't be avoiding you. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give most capital ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railguns and gauss weapons for precisely this purpose. Heavy fighters armed with torpedoes and BRRRRT are more capable of handling capital ships, but skill and caution are a necessary component for survival when busting bigger foes.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles, and since nobody else is with them, no raptor goes to pick them up.
=== Hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.
=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:
=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.
== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

First, open the maintenance panel. Swipe your ID on the ship and select the correct option.

In maintenance mode, you can remove components from your ship. This is useful for taking out a flooded engine so that you can purge it with a screwdriver.
=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?).

Ensure the maintenance panel is closed, grab yourself a Welder and a Welding Mask (there should be a welding equipment locker somewhere in the hangar) and click on the ship. Your character somehow has an innate knowledge of where the broken things are, and will perfectly fix them with no prior training. You'll need to do this multiple times - opening the maintenance panel will allow you to see the structural integrity of the ship.
=== Repairing armor damage ===
So you managed to survive combat only taking a little bit of <s>friendly</s> enemy fire to the face, and now you need to fix your armor, but smashing the welder into the ship does nothing! Worry not, the procedure is simple.

Activate maintenance mode on the aircraft by swiping your ID against its sleek white hull. Jump in the cockpit and scroll down on the ship information window until you find the listing for the armor, then click the EJECT button. Now that your armor plating has fallen off your aircraft and coalesced into a single object, merely take your welding tool (welding goggles/mask recommended) and repeatedly apply it to the plating until it begs you to stop. With your armor now as fresh as the day it was squeezed out of the factory, pick it up with both hands and re-insert it into the ship. Swipe your ID again to turn off maintenance mode if desired.
=== Replacing missiles ===
If you've launched both of your missiles, and your point defence cannons just aren't doing it for you, return to hangar for refill. Refilling missiles is surprisingly simple:

Grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will either be in the thermonuclear warhead section of the armory (red door to the west), or strewn randomly about the hangar. In the armory, 3 missile types are available: NTP-1 High Velocity, NTP-2 Standard, NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:
* NTP-1 High Velocity is the fastest but weakest.
* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.
Click and drag up to four missiles onto the trolley (three of which will fit in the fighter,) bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship, and close the maintenance panel.
=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.

Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, click and drag the tank onto said Fighter, and after a few seconds it'll top them up.
=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]]
==== We've run out of missiles ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from [[Guide_to_Munitions#Acquiring_ammunition|Munitions]].
==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts in their departmental protolathe, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process. If you get stuck during the assembly, examine the fighter chassis to see what needs done next.

#Choose a chassis, light, heavy, or utility, and fabricate it.
#Bolt and weld the chassis.
#Install an engine of your choice and bolt it to the frame.
#Install the auxiliary power unit (APU), wire it to the engine with cable coil, and secure it with a screwdriver.
#Add the fighter fuel tank and secure the bolts with a wrench.
#Install avionics, wire it together with the other components, and screw it in place.
#Add a targeting sensor and screw it in.
#Add the countermeasure dispenser and wrench the bolts.
#Add fighter armour plating, bolt and weld it on. Keep in mind that the armour you choose to use will have an affect on your mobility during flight.
#Select a primary mount. Light and heavy fighters will use cannons. Bolt it in place when you've made your mind up.
#Select a secondary mount. (Missile launcher, torpedo launcher) and bolt it in.
#Use an airlock painter to paint the surface of your complete frame! This step will need to be repeated, once for the surface and once for the details.
#Click on the fighter with an empty hand to finalize it. This will open a confirmation box, so make sure you have moved the frame to the hangar bay or open space before finishing the job.
#The fighter isn't ready to go just yet. You need to install a battery for it to function, and the primary and secondary mounts will need ammunition. If you're using a fabricated fuel tank, you should refuel it with tyrosene.
#Be sure to install a fighter docking computer if you want to leave the Z-level and go onto the overmap.
#Install an atmospheric regulator if you enjoy breating without the need for a suit.
#You can rename your finished fighter by using the ships verb tab. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"

== Bonus Information ==
* You can change the name of your fighter in the Ship panel.
* Raptors can hold an infinite number of escape pods.
* If you have the required access, you can swipe your ID on a fighter to boot the current occupants out and enable the inertia dampeners. Useful for that one griffing bastard or when your Raptor rescue has become a cadaver.

Cenrus: shooting 3.0

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.
== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==
Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.
=== The Controls ===
Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit C to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt Key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay put.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for <s>pulling sick drifts</s> turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, fighters have it off by default.
=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:
* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.
=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches between your primary and secondary mounts. The primary mount will typically be your fighter cannon, and the secondary will be a missile or torpedo launcher.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can only hold so many at a time, and they can be shot down with PDC (Point Defense Cannon) rounds or flak, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about the fighter cannon.

Fighter cannons are fully automatic and are your go-to choice for dealing damage. Heavy and light cannons hold ammunition, and will need to be reloaded often. If you find yourself running out of ammo during battle, don't hesitate to leave your squadron and return to base for immediate rearming.

This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar. That is, if you have a functioning docking computer installed in your fighter.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Everybody needs a nice tug now and again, and as a fighter pilot you more than anyone will need constant tugging. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor.

Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

=== Hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.
=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:
=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.
== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

First, open the maintenance panel. Swipe your ID on the ship and select the correct option.

In maintenance mode, you can remove components from your ship. This is useful for taking out a flooded engine so that you can purge it with a screwdriver.
=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?).

Ensure the maintenance panel is closed, grab yourself a Welder and a Welding Mask (there should be a welding equipment locker somewhere in the hangar) and click on the ship. Your character somehow has an innate knowledge of where the broken things are, and will perfectly fix them with no prior training. You'll need to do this multiple times - opening the maintenance panel will allow you to see the structural integrity of the ship.
=== Repairing armor damage ===
So you managed to survive combat only taking a little bit of <s>friendly</s> enemy fire to the face, and now you need to fix your armor, but smashing the welder into the ship does nothing! Worry not, the procedure is simple.

Activate maintenance mode on the aircraft by swiping your ID against its sleek white hull. Jump in the cockpit and scroll down on the ship information window until you find the listing for the armor, then click the EJECT button.

With your armor now as fresh as the day it was squeezed out of the factory, pick it up with both hands and re-insert it into the ship. Swipe your ID again to turn off maintenance mode if desired.
=== Replacing missiles ===
If you've launched both of your missiles, and your point defence cannons just aren't doing it for you, return to hangar for refill. Refilling missiles is surprisingly simple:

Grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will either be in the thermonuclear warhead section of the armory (red door to the west), or strewn randomly about the hangar. In the armory, 3 missile types are available: NTP-1 High Velocity, NTP-2 Standard, NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:
* NTP-1 High Velocity is the fastest but weakest.
* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.
Click and drag up to four missiles onto the trolley (three of which will fit in the fighter,) bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship, and close the maintenance panel.
=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.

Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, click and drag the tank onto said Fighter, and after a few seconds it'll top them up.
=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]]
==== We've run out of missiles ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from [[Guide_to_Munitions#Acquiring_ammunition|Munitions]].
==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process.
#Start with the fuselage. Construct, wrench and weld it.
#Attach the empennage, wrench, and weld it.
#Attach a wing, wrench, and weld it. Repeat for other wing.
#Attach and wrench landing gear.
#Attach armour plating, screwdriver, and weld it.
#Wire the fighter. Multitool this wiring to calibrate it.
#Attach and wrench fuel tank. (can be improved!)
#Attach and wrench fuel lines. (can be improved!)
#Attach and weld engine. Repeat for other engine. Multitool to calibrate engines. (can be improved!)
#Attach cockpit, screwdriver, and wrench it.
#Wire fighter again.
#Attach avionics, screwdriver, and multitool to calibrate it.
#Attach targeting sensors, then screwdriver and multitool to calibrate it. (can be improved!)
#Use the airlock painter in the centre of the hangar to paint the fighter.
#Click it to name it. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"
Miraculously, a fighter appears!

Do note that you cannot build more Raptors. Don't destroy those ones.
== Bonus Information ==
* You can change the name of your fighter in the Ship panel.
* Raptors can hold an infinite number of escape pods.
* If you have the required access, you can swipe your ID on a fighter to boot the current occupants out and enable the inertia dampeners. Useful for that one griffing bastard or when your Raptor rescue has become a cadaver.

Guide to Fighters

Cenrus: /* Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement */ updated maint guide

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.
== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==
Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.
=== The Controls ===
Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit C to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt Key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay put.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for pulling sick driftsturning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, fighters have it off by default.
=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:
* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.
=== Take Off ===
Once you've gotten into a fighter, two screens will pop up: Your DRADIS console (radar) and your control console.

To start up the fighter first press the "Canopy lock button" to close the canopy and switch to internal atmosphere. Do note that you will be unable to exit the fighter while the canopy is locked, so be sure to unlock it when you plan to exit.

First press the button labled "Battery", then "Fuel injector", and then "APU." '''At this point do not press any more buttons.''' The RPM gauge will now begin to increase - you must wait for it to reach 100% before pressing "Ignition" or the engine will not start.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel.

Pressing C toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will be directed towards.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with the mothership. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of the fighter controls at any time.
=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches firing modes between long range acquisition (for using homing missiles) and manual point defence (for the flak cannon). If you actually want to damage anything, choose missiles. If you want to live, choose manual point defense.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can fit up to six of these at the same time, and they can be shot down with point defense, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about point defense.
 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.

As your backup weaponry, your flak cannon is shit. It functions like a three-burst railgun and has pitiful damage, but infinite ammo. Luckily, it has a purpose beyond "I've run out of missiles", and that's to shoot down missiles that OTHER ships have shot. Just make sure the missile is targeting you or your allies first, because if you shoot down all of the missiles aimed at the enemy ship, you might find yourself being the next target of everyone else's flak cannons.
=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar.
== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.
=== Finding a Fighter ===
On round start there will be aircraft either in the hangar or on the launch deck which are pre-built and in need of refuel and rearm before takeoff. You will typically find several Rapier light fighters, one (or zero) Scimitar heavy fighter, and one or more Sabre support craft.

Each aircraft will need to be refueled and filled with ammo before they will truly be ready for you to <s>die in a blaze of ineptitude</s> show off some of that pilot shit. This process generally includes fuel refilling via prepared fuel tanks around the hangar, filling of cannon ammo (light for the Vulcan, heavy for the BRRRT machine,) and finally missiles for the light fighters or torpedoes for the heavy fighters.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to find yourself a new home. Once you've found that home and claimed it, hop into the cockpit, flip over to the Ship tab or use the Change Name verb and christen your coffin with something creative.

With your aircraft armed, fueled, and named, all that's left between you and your dream of being the next Maverick is an aircraft tug to an available electromagnetic catapult.
=== Launch Procedures ===
Everybody needs a nice tug now and again, and as a fighter pilot you more than anyone will need constant tugging. To do this, you'll want to find the M575 Aircraft Tug and the fighter tug key, which when combined will allow you to drive around the hangar bay. Now that you've <s>landed yourself in the brig for running people over</s> gotten the tug up and running, drive it over to the aircraft you want to move and position yourself right up against it, then click the Load Fighter button to load it. With aircraft in tow, take it to the desired position and press the unload button to drop it; if you do this near a magnetic catapult it should automatically lock on to the catapult. DO NOT press the Launch button on the tug, unless your intention is to shoot the aircraft off like a ghetto catapult.

If your fighter enters a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor. This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

If no ATC or other personnel are available to run the catapults, press the MAGLOCK button on your aircraft console, flip the brakes off (ALT key,) and whisk yourself gently (gently...) out of the tube before putting the ship in your rear view and zooming straight into enemy fire. As an additional note, some maps may include vacuumed flight decks; in such cases the use of tugs and catapults is still recommended for various reasons, but because you are already in the vacuum of space and on a reinforced flight deck you do not technically need either of those things to take off or operate your aircraft.
=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are several types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers, and Carriers with bombers and interceptors, and all have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Avoid anti-air frigates, because they won't be avoiding you. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give most capital ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railguns and gauss weapons for precisely this purpose. Heavy fighters armed with torpedoes and BRRRRT are more capable of handling capital ships, but skill and caution are a necessary component for survival when busting bigger foes.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles, and since nobody else is with them, no raptor goes to pick them up.
=== Hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.
=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:
=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.
== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

First, open the maintenance panel. Swipe your ID on the ship and select the correct option.

In maintenance mode, you can remove components from your ship. This is useful for taking out a flooded engine so that you can purge it with a screwdriver.
=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?).

Ensure the maintenance panel is closed, grab yourself a Welder and a Welding Mask (there should be a welding equipment locker somewhere in the hangar) and click on the ship. Your character somehow has an innate knowledge of where the broken things are, and will perfectly fix them with no prior training. You'll need to do this multiple times - opening the maintenance panel will allow you to see the structural integrity of the ship.
=== Repairing armor damage ===
So you managed to survive combat only taking a little bit of <s>friendly</s> enemy fire to the face, and now you need to fix your armor, but smashing the welder into the ship does nothing! Worry not, the procedure is simple.

Activate maintenance mode on the aircraft by swiping your ID against its sleek white hull. Jump in the cockpit and scroll down on the ship information window until you find the listing for the armor, then click the EJECT button. Now that your armor plating has fallen off your aircraft and coalesced into a single object, merely take your welding tool (welding goggles/mask recommended) and repeatedly apply it to the plating until it begs you to stop. With your armor now as fresh as the day it was squeezed out of the factory, pick it up with both hands and re-insert it into the ship. Swipe your ID again to turn off maintenance mode if desired.
=== Replacing missiles ===
If you've launched both of your missiles, and your point defence cannons just aren't doing it for you, return to hangar for refill. Refilling missiles is surprisingly simple:

Grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will either be in the thermonuclear warhead section of the armory (red door to the west), or strewn randomly about the hangar. In the armory, 3 missile types are available: NTP-1 High Velocity, NTP-2 Standard, NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:
* NTP-1 High Velocity is the fastest but weakest.
* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.
Click and drag up to four missiles onto the trolley (three of which will fit in the fighter,) bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship, and close the maintenance panel.
=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.

Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, click and drag the tank onto said Fighter, and after a few seconds it'll top them up.
=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]]
==== We've run out of missiles ====

#Attach avionics, screwdriver, and multitool to calibrate it.
#Attach targeting sensors, then screwdriver and multitool to calibrate it. (can be improved!)
#Use the airlock painter in the centre of the hangar to paint the fighter.
#Click it to name it. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"
Miraculously, a fighter appears!

Do note that you cannot build more Raptors. Don't destroy those ones.
== Bonus Information ==

Guide to Fighters

2020-09-17T14:18:40Z

Cenrus:

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.

== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==

Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.

=== The Controls ===

Use '''Shift + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

The '''Space bar''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit space to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt Key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay put.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for </s>pulling sick drifts</s>turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, fighters have it off by default.

=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:

* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Tyrosene fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click it to grab the hose, then click a fighter with the hose to refuel it.

=== Take Off ===
Once you've got in the fighter, lots of screens will immediately pop up. Panic for precisely <s>four seconds, then initiate use of your brain</s> for a full two minutes because there's this entire new screen now and you don't know what does buttons do and there's a new fuel counter and oh god oh fuck what do i do

There's a whole load of buttons and a whole lot of time to press them in. But don't. Not yet. Make sure you read this super cool guideTM first, because else you'll fuck it up and die.

Hit the Canopy Lock button to, uh, close the Canopy. This will seal the fighter and make it run on internal atmospherics instead of external atmospherics. It will also prevent you from exiting the fighter, so remember to toggle it off if you wish to preserve the structural integrity of your head.

Hit the buttons from top to bottom, halting at the battery and then lock the throttle (using the Throttle Lock). Toggle the APU once you're ready to start up, and turn off the throttle after a few seconds because if you don't you'll flood the engines with explosive fuel and it will fizzle out. You are now moving! Try not to damage your own hull.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel <s>please never do this</s>.

Pressing the spacebar toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will eventually go once it's figured out that turning is actually a good thing.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with thr mothership when the pilot just won't slow down. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of these <s>before you take off like a responsible pilot</s> while you're dying.

=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches firing modes between long range acquisition (for using homing missiles) and manual point defence (for the flak cannon). If you actually want to damage anything, choose missiles. If you want to live, choose manual point defense.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can fit up to six of these at the same time, and they can be shot down with point defense, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about point defense.
 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.

As your backup weaponry, your flak cannon is shit. It functions like a three-burst railgun and has pitiful damage, but infinite ammo. Luckily, it has a purpose beyond "I've run out of missiles", and that's to shoot down missiles that OTHER ships have shot. Just make sure the missile is targeting you or your allies first, because if you shoot down all of the missiles aimed at the enemy ship, you might find yourself being the next target of everyone else's flak cannons.

=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar.

== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.

=== Finding a Fighter ===
On most maps, there will be 6 fighters somewhere near the hangar pre-outfitted and ready for takeoff: 5 Vipers, the standard fighters, and one Raptor. Ignore the Raptor and take a Viper.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to maneuver a fighter into the hangar yourself. Just get in, disable the dampeners, get it onto one of the highlighted spaces, and re-dampen. Disable the laser turning, and get out. You've got yourself a fighter.

When it's time to fly, your FL will (presumably) announce on the Air Traffic Control/ATC radio channel (accessed through :h) that the Launch Bays are open. Ensure that you are allowed to enter one of these launch bays before you recklessly launch your fighter directly into a hostile warhead.

=== Launch Procedures ===
If you enter a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor.

This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are two types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, and Frigates, and they both have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give both of these ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railgun for precisely this purpose.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles, and since nobody else is with them, no raptor goes to pick them up.

=== hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.

=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:

=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.

== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

First, open the maintenance panel. Grab a wrench to unbolt it then pry it open with a crowbar. This will either destroy your fighter completely (bad) or put it into maintenance mode (good).

In maintenance mode, you can refill missiles, swap out components, and repair your ship.

=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?).

Ensure the maintenance panel is closed, grab yourself a Welder and a Welding Mask (there should be a welding equipment locker somewhere in the hangar) and click on the ship. Your character somehow has an innate knowledge of where the broken things are, and will perfectly fix them with no prior training. You'll need to do this multiple times - opening the maintenance panel will allow you to see the structural integrity of the ship.

=== Replacing missiles ===
If you've launched both of your missiles, and your point defence cannons just aren't doing it for you, return to hangar for refill. Refilling missiles is surprisingly simple:

Open the maintenance panel of your ship, then grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will either be in the thermonuclear warhead section of the armory (red door to the west), or strewn randomly about the hangar. In the armory, 3 missile types are available: NTP-1 High Velocity, NTP-2 Standard, NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:
* NTP-1 High Velocity is the fastest but weakest.
* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.

Click and drag up to two missiles onto the trolley, bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship, and close the maintenance panel.

=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.

Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, click and drag the tank onto said Fighter, and after a few seconds it'll top them up.

=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from
[[ Guide_to_chemistry#Tyrosene|Chemistry]]
==== We've run out of missiles ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from [[Guide_to_Munitions#Acquiring_ammunition|Munitions]].

==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process.

#Start with the fuselage. Construct, wrench and weld it.
#Attach the empennage, wrench, and weld it.
#Attach a wing, wrench, and weld it. Repeat for other wing.
#Attach and wrench landing gear.
#Attach armour plating, screwdriver, and weld it.
#Wire the fighter. Multitool this wiring to calibrate it.
#Attach and wrench fuel tank. (can be improved!)
#Attach and wrench fuel lines. (can be improved!)
#Attach and weld engine. Repeat for other engine. Multitool to calibrate engines. (can be improved!)
#Attach cockpit, screwdriver, and wrench it.
#Wire fighter again.
#Attach avionics, screwdriver, and multitool to calibrate it.
#Attach targeting sensors, then screwdriver and multitool to calibrate it. (can be improved!)
#Use the airlock painter in the centre of the hangar to paint the fighter.
#Click it to name it. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"

Miraculously, a fighter appears!

Do note that you cannot build more Raptors. Don't destroy those ones.

== Bonus Information ==
* You can change the name of your fighter in the Ship panel.
* Raptors can hold an infinite number of escape pods.
* If you have the required access, you can swipe your ID on a fighter to boot the current occupants out and enable the inertia dampeners. Useful for that one griffing bastard or when your Raptor rescue has become a cadaver.

}}

Your primary task aboard your assigned vessel is to operate the systems that the engineers and [[Guide_to_Munitions|munitions techs]] maintain and feed. These include piloting the ship and operating most of the weapons through two consoles in CIC - the '''Flight Control Console''' and the '''Tactical Systems Console'''

=The DRADIS=

This is effectively the ship's radar, a medium-range sensor suit that can identify targets at short range and see them coming from a fairly long range. Multiple individuals can use the DRADIS at any given time and it is a requirement to effectively pilot the ship or aim the guns. '''Before using any console, click on the DRADIS console to bring up the radar, then click on the console you wish to use.'''

=The Flight Control Console=

The operator of this console is responsible for flying the ship. It's fairly straightforward, but there are some keys you need to know. In general, avoid getting hit if possible, try to dodge torpedoes, and avoid boarding vessels while remaining within sight of the enemy for your gunner.

Use '''Shift + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

The '''Space bar''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit space to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay there. '''Do not leave the parking break on while jumping into a hot zone.''' The chances that you remember to turn it off in those first few seconds of dodging torpedoes are very much '''not''' 100%. The deaths of so many innocent men weigh upon my soul.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy boarding vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for </s>pulling sick drifts</s>turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, and it's more useful for large titan class battleships such as the [[Pegasus]].

If your vessel is equipped with coaxial railguns, use '''Left Click''' to fire a Railgun round straight out of the nose of the ship. This can be very useful for finishing off crafts that have become stationary. This weapon is quite powerful and can fire in rapid succession, but must reloaded by munitions regularly.

Bear in mind that as the pilot, it's your duty to minimize losses by evading incoming fire and assisting the [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]] where needed. If the ATC reports that a pilot has ejected, you can help out by flying over to the ejected pod so it can dock safely.

=The Tactical Console=

The gunnery console is a little more straightforward, but it pays to have munitions tech experience. Knowing the rough ammo capacity of different weapons can be useful, but the names themselves are fairly informative. Hit the Control (Ctrl) key to switch between weapons. Being on this console will also give you a readout on the remaining ammo (in percentages) of the ships weapons, including those you can't fire from this console, as well as the ship's armor and structural integrity. ''Your'' weapons include:

Use '''Shift + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap.

'''Torpedoes'''
Click in a direction to fire a Torpedo. Torpedoes deal a significant amount of damage with a short travel time that may require a small amount of leading. Additionally, nuclear warheads can be loaded to deal a massive amount of damage but are difficult to acquire. Torpedo tubes also do not possess much ammo capacity, being limited to only a few torpedo tubes with a long loading time.

'''Point Defense Cannon'''
An automatic rapid-fire turret that consumes a massive amount of ammo. Click in a direction and hold down to fire a stream of bullets useful for hitting fast moving fighters and heavily damaging larger ships if close enough. These are crucial for shooting down torpedoes before they can impact the ship.

'''The Magnetic Accelerator (MAC)'''
A heavy-duty piercing shot that deals incredible damage. Click and hold to aim the laser sight and release to fire a shot. The MAC only has one shot before it must reload, so make your shots count and coordinate with munitions.

'''Flak'''
Automatic anti-aircraft guns that will fire with no input from you, creating a barrier between nearby ships. Flak can destroy incoming torpedoes and deal serious damage to enemy interceptors and bombers.

You will also have a readout of the Gauss and Railgun turrets, however these are not under your control. Gauss cannons are controlled directly by Munitions Technicians while the coaxial railgun is controlled by the helm officer (see above).

=The FTL Console=

This console controls the ship's long-range movement. It will provide you a map of various star systems that the ship can navigate to, as well as the ship's current location and how charged the FTL drive is. In order to make a jump, the drive must be 100% spooled up, which takes about a minute. If it isn't spooling at all, yell at engineering. As one might expect, this console doesn't need a dedicated crewmember; the pilot usually takes care of the job. However, in combat scenarios where the ship is fleeing, it might be neccesary for another member of the bridge crew to operate the FTL console while the pilot runs evasive maneuvers.

=When Not In Combat=

When you're not in combat, your second job comes in: Being the captain's whipping boy. During FTL jumps and while waiting for engineering to get its shit together, feel free to go make a run to the nearby cigarette vendor to sate the crippling nicotine addiction that you've adopted in order to retain your sanity while working this close to the captain. And remember, memeing with the captain is an important job. No matter how flagrantly he's abandoning his duty to throw stupid parties, your answer should always be "Yes </s>dear</s>sir."

Welcome to the Frontier, Miner. Grab your Hardsuit, prepare the accelerators, we've got a busy day ahead.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Break rocks, collect ore and bring it back to the main ship for refining.

==Workin' In The Plasma Mine==
[[File:Rocinante.png|thumb|right|The Rocinante, your workspace and home away from home.]]
Being a miner can be somewhat tedious, but without your valiant efforts, the ship and it's crew will use up every scrap of materials they start with and descend into anarchy. You best know what you're doing before stepping out.

Your workplace, The depths of a space rock, has a couple risks:
* Space - Cold, Empty and really doesn't like you. Without a hardsuit and Oxygen supply, you wont make it very long out there.
* Gibtonie - Nature's own Dynamite, while not a threat to those that are prepared. A close proximity blast can easily put you into crit or remove a limb.
* Lifeforms - Not all asteroids are barren of life, and the few things that survive in the vacuum are not friendly. From space carp, Cave bats and even the occasional Space clown.
The risk of these hazards can be reduced by watching your surroundings and always having your accelerator on hand to help you out. Having some friends as backup can majorly reduce the risk and even the impact of these threats.

You can click on an adjacent rock or run directly into it to begin picking or drilling the rock, but the Kinetic Accelerator is much faster and more efficient and you should be using that instead of a pickaxe or basic mining drill. Keep in mind that if you do decide to pick or drill your way through rock, you can have multiple dig jobs running at the same time to mine faster.

===Working With Your Boss===
Who is your boss? You answer to the Executive Officer, much like the rest of Supply -- but usually, you'll just be talking to the Quartermaster or other Miners. It's best to make some friends, as you'll be seeing your fellow miners a lot.

===The Objective===
You're here to mine, so get digging! Once you're full to bursting with ores, drag your ore box back to the main ship and head to cargo where the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] sits. Drag the box next to the machine to automatically offload your ores and have them instantly processed into sheets. Then click "claim" to retrieve mining points as a reward for your hard work, these points will be placed on whatever ID is currently in the machine. Once you've deposited your ores. Check the Cargo Protolathe for those all important upgrades and head back to the Rocinante.

==How to Do the Do==
===Gearing up===
# Gear up! From the mining equipment locker, you will need Meson Scanner goggles, a mining scanner, your pickaxe (optional), a bluespace shelter capsule and your standard issue proto-kinetic accelerator. If you want, there is also an additional mining satchel, and a shovel for digging up ash (for glass).
# Attach your seclite and knife to your proto-kinetic accelerator to save space, and to let you bash things harder without having to take out your knife.
# Use your voucher on a mining vending machine to select your choice of advanced mining tools, listed below.
# Head to the Rocinante EVA room to grab a hardsuit and breath mask, as well as a bottle of oxygen, always carry a spare as they can fit in your backpack.
# Before you go, you'll want an Ore Box, which can hold an infinite amount of minerals. Ore boxes are available on the mining station, the mining shuttle and rarely on the field. More can be built with wood planks.
# For extra safety, grab a GPS device, set it to your name and tell the [[QM]] and other miners about it. If you're lucky, they will drag your lifeless body back to cloning.

===Consoles for Dummies===
[[File:RociCIC.png|thumb|right|The Bridge of the CIC, where you'll be most of the time between mining or getting drunk.]]
Now this is where things get more complicated. So try to follow along.
The Image on the right shows each of the important consoles in coloured boxes, these are the:
- Tactical Console in Red
- DRADIS Console in Green
- Piloting Console in Blue
- FTL Navigation Console in Yellow
- FTL Spooling Console in Purple

You'll need to become familiar with most of these consoles if you want to do your job for more than five minutes. First, let's go over Piloting.

===How to Drift like a Pro===
Piloting in NSV operates on two systems, Mouse Controlled, and Laser Controlled. Mouse control causes the Ship to aim towards wherever your mouse is pointing, While laser will attempt to align it with wherever the laser on the front of the ship is pointing, which can be rotated with the Q and E keys.

To actually make the ship go fast, hold the W key to start moving. A few hotkeys to make note of are:
# ALT toggles the breaks, brings the ship to a stop rapidly and prevents acceleration until disabled.
# X toggles the Inertial dampeners, the thing decelerating your ship when you step off the gas.
# SHIFT activates a temporary speed boost, useful for gaining momentum or evading enemies.
# SPACE toggles between mouse and laser piloting.

Keep in mind, the Rocinante is a fast and manoeuvrable vessel, meaning it can easily outrun most enemies and do some fairly sick drifts.

===The DRADIS Console===
[[File:RociDRADIS.png|thumb|right|The Rocinante DRADIAS, Clear of Signals]]
Deep Space Radar! Around the Rocinante a large circle indicating sensor range, inside this circle signals will be identified and their name and affiliation revealed. Outside, they will just be known as "UNKNOWN" Use this console to locate asteroids and drive over to them. Once nearby, slam on the breaks and move to the Magnet Console. There's also the option to disable specific signals, but this is rarely used.

===FTL: Faster Than Light===
So you've cracked open every asteroid in your current sector eh? ''If you had any to begin with...''
The FTL Navigation and Spooling Console are the tools you need to keep mining for all eternity. First, head over to the Spooling console and set the spooling to 1. This will cause it to automatically begin spooling up, upon reaching 100% the ship will be able to jump to another sector. This is done in the Navigation Console.

Head over to the Navigation Console and Open it up. The Rocinante always starts in Lalande 21185, a Nanotrasen owned system. All systems have two rings, the Inner and Outer ring.
The Inner ring shows what affiliation the System has, Blue is Nanotrasen, Orange is Unaligned, Red is Syndicate and Systems with no inner ring are Uncharted. The Outer ring is far simpler. Blue means you are there currently, Green means you are able to jump there and red means you cannot.

To jump to a system, select a system with a green outer ring and press the "Jump to System" Button. This will cause a short warm up sequence before jumping into FTL.
'''WARNING''' Jumping will bring any nearby fighters with the ship. Once you jump into FTL, the Spooling Console will shut down, and you are able to restart the spooling process.
[[File:Starmap.png|thumb|right|Upon opening the Navigation console, you should be greeted with this.]]

===Life beyond smashing rocks===
# The Rocinante has a full bar and kitchen, go get wasted if you think you've provided more materials than would ever be needed.
# Print [[Research items#Advanced Plasma Cutter|Advanced Plasma Cutters]] and [[Research items#Mining Satchel of Holding|Mining Satchels of Holding]] at the cargo protolathe for even more efficient mining.
# Get your grubby hands on some upgrades for the ship DRADIS and Manget Consoles to bring in more valuable ores.
# '''NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW MINERS... OR AT ALL''' Drive the Rocinante into combat and fire your singular gun at enemies, Just watch out for boarding vessels as you are priority number one.

===Voucher equipment===
You start the shift with a complimentary mining voucher, worth one free item out of a selection of four. These items, and their strengths, are:
* '''Survival Capsule and Explorer's Webbing:''' The webbing (you put on your belt slot) allows you to carry even more mining equipment - having a second shelter capsule is nice too. 900 pts value.
* '''Resonator Kit:''' Comes with a resonator, explorer's webbing, mini extinguisher and advanced scanner. While the resonator is underwhelming, the advanced scanner has almost twice the scanning range and updates much faster. 2100 pts.
* '''Mining Drone:''' A little companion that helps in storing ore and hunting wildlife. Only useful once you install the sentience upgrade module. Comes with an industrial welding tool, a welding mask and a KA modkit that allows shots to pass through the drone. ~800 pts.
* '''Extraction and Rescue Kit:''' Contains a fulton extraction pack and a beacon, which allows you to send back home minerals, items and dead miners without having to use the ferry. As a bonus, you get 30 marker beacons too. 1700 pts.
* '''Crusher Kit:''' Contains a proto-kinetic crusher, a chest webbing like the capsule kit, an advanced scanner and a mini fire extinguisher. The crusher is two-handed and hard to use without getting hit, but has a chance to make fauna drop powerful trophies. 2450 pts.
* '''Mining Conscription Kit''': A duffle bag full of basic items for one conscript - Proto-kinetic accelerator, survival knife, seclite, explorer's suit, mesons, mining scanner and satchel, gas mask, a supply radio key and a special card that adds mining access to IDs. Good for when you want to recruit <s>metafriends</s> fresh conscripts. 1500 pts.

==Default Gear==
The following is a list of default mining equipment:

====Essential Equipment====
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="80%" style="background-color:#EEEEFF;" class="wikitable sortable"
! scope="col" style="background-color:lightblue;" width=200|Item
! scope="col" class="unsortable" style="background-color:lightblue;" |Description
|-
![[File:Hardsuit2.png|32px]] Mining Hardsuit
|The Standard issue hardsuit provided on the Rocinante, providing full EVA protection, light armour and an inbuilt helmet. Which has the ability to activate lights on the helmet for some EXTRA light. Wearing the suit does provide some slowdown in regular areas. The suit allows an oxygen tank to be placed on your back.
|-
![[File:ExplorerGasMask.gif|32px]] Explorer Gas Mask and [[Oxygen]] Tank
|So you can have oxygen when mining. Oxygen tanks are available from the tank storage unit, and can be worn on your suits storage slot. You can also use your emergency oxygen tank which can be placed on your suit. Running out of oxygen is unlikely with the full sized tank.
|-
![[File:MGlasses.png|32px]] [[File:MiningScanner.png|32px]] [[Meson Goggles|Meson Scanners]] and Automatic Mining Scanner
|Activating the scanner will briefly flash any ore on screen - it works even inside a box. Can be used to stop gibtonite from exploding.
|-
![[File:GPSm.gif|32px]] Global Positioning System, GPS
|The crew monitoring console back on the station won't catch your suit sensor signal from all the way down on the planet. Having one of these on you will help others track down your body if you happen to develop a case of the dead. In addition it can be used to locate other miners (who bothered to take it) as well as "lost" signals. Megafauna, necropolis tendrils, and certain ruins emit GPS signals. Be wary. Be sure to set your name on the GPS.
|-
![[File:KineticAccelerator.png|32px]] Proto-kinetic Accelerator
|A standard issue gun. The good part is that it packs a punch in a low pressure environment, is very good at digging and has infinite shots. The bad part is that it tickles in pressurized environments, has a cooldown after each shot, and has a range of three steps. Can be dual wielded at the price of lower accuracy and speed. 
KAs deal brute damage (40 standard/10 in pressurized rooms), but count as explosive versus armor. That way, suits like bomb suits and the RD hardsuit can negate 90% of the damage dealt.
|-
![[File:Survivalknife.gif|32px]] Survival Knife
|Use it for butchering the wildlife (hit while on harm intent). It's as strong against mobs as a pickaxe, but you can't mine with it. You can store it in your boots to save space, but remember to alt-click the boots to draw the knife back out. Alternatively, stick it on your KA.
|-
![[File:Stimpen.png|32px]] Survival Medipen
|A cocktail of powerful healing chemicals. Contains Salbutamol, Leporazine, Epinephrine, Mining Nanites and Omnizine. Heals all types of damage and stabilizes body temperature.
|-
![[File:BScapsule.png|32px]] Bluespace shelter capsule
|Activate this in your hand, and it'll near instantly produce a beautiful shelter. The shelter contains a cupboard which contains a guitar (or dice) and some donk pockets. It also has a stasis bed which requires another person to use. Never leave home without one. You're issued one for free in your the mining lockers on station.
|-
![[File:OreSatchel.png|32px]] Ore Satchel
|For carrying ore without using a mining cart, holds 50 ore nuggets. Empty it into boxes by using the satchel on them. Newbie tip: Put it in one of your pocket slots, then start dragging an ore box. Any ore you walk over will be transferred to the box.
|-
![[File:OreBox2.png|32px]] Ore box
|Used for carrying huge amounts of ore. While a satchel can only hold 50 nuggets, this can hold an unlimited sum. You cannot carry it, but you can drag it with you. 
Use your satchel on the box to empty it into the box. Even better: Drag it behind you with an ore satchel in your pocket.
|-
![[File:Voucher.gif|32px]] Mining Voucher
|Found in your backpack, exchange this at the mining equipment locker for one of several selections which include various mining items.
|-
![[File:Seclite.png|32px]] Seclite
|A beefed up flashlight. Put this on your KA to free up inventory space.
|-
|}

====Miscellaneous Equipment====
Items that, while not critical to take, can be situationally useful.

! scope="col" style="background-color:lightblue;" width=200|Item
! scope="col" class="unsortable" style="background-color:lightblue;" |Description
|-
![[File:Pickaxe.png|32px]] Pickaxe
|Somewhat antiquated thanks to the prevalence of the proto-kinetic accelerator and resonator. Nevertheless it can be used to dig wide tunnels, robust things in melee combat and as a backup if you lose your resonator. It can also fit inside a belt chest webbing.
|-
![[File:Shovel.png|32px]] Shovel
|Gathering sand. You can stick this in your backpack. A crappier version of a compact pickaxe
|-
![[File:Crowbar.png|32px]] [[Crowbar]]
|For removing KA mods, or just in case when there is a blackout. Spawns in your box.
|}

==Advanced Gear==
The following are more advanced items that need to be purchased from a mining equipment vendor, with credits:

====Voucher/Reward Equipment====
These items can either be acquired from a voucher, or can be bought with money/credits, usually earned from delivering ore to the [[Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] [[File:Ore_redemption.gif|link=Machines#Ore_Redemption_Machine|Ore Redemption Machine]] on the station. Prices are included.

|Very powerful drill, able to almost instantly mine mineral walls. Very expensive in terms of Diamonds needed to produce however.
|-
![[File:sonicjack.png|32px]] Sonic Jackhammer
|The epitome of mining. Can practically instantly mine through rock and walls. But it requires three times the Diamonds of a Diamond Tipped Drill.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]] KA Triggerguard Mod
|A modkit that will allow species that cannot normally fire guns to use the KA, such as golems and hulks.
|-
![[File:Modkit.png|32px]] KA Range Mod
|A modkit that increases your KA's range by 1.
|-

|A modkit that makes your KA mine rocks in a 3x3 AoE. It does not, however, deal AoE damage. You're usually better off carrying a plasma cutter to deal with rocks and keep the KA for combat.
|-
![[File:Plasma_Cutter.png|32px]] Plasma Cutter
|A fast mining (and welding) tool. Shoots rock-breaking bolts that pierce up to 5 rocks per shot. Rechargeable by inserting plasma ore or sheets into it. Less efficient in combat than a KA, however, and even less when in high pressure.
|-
![[File:Adv_plasma_cutter.gif|32px]] Advanced Plasma Cutter
|A very fast mining (and welding) tool. Shoots rock-breaking bolts that pierce up to 10 rocks per shot, basically allowing you to pierce rock as fast as you can walk. Rechargeable by inserting plasma ore or sheets into it.
|-
![[File:bluespacemining.png|32px]] Mining Satchel of Holding
|Very cheap mining satchel that can hold an unlimited amount of minerals and ore.

All of this gear is printed out at the supply department protolathe.

==The Ores==
These are what you should be looking out for, generally try and get a good mix of the more exotic ore types. Iron ore is ok but it sells for little and is highly abundant on the station already.

If you don't stop the reaction with your mining scanner in time, the gibtonite will explode. If you do, you can mine the ore, pick it up (you need both hands free) and use it as an explosive. The closer the gibtonite was to exploding before defused, the more potent its power.

How to obtain Gibtonite: Hit ore, count to 8 flashes of the ore then hit it with your scanner. Gibtonite varies in the number of reactions it has, so you may get lower quality ore. Use 2 of the 0 reaction ores (the most potent) to blow open the AI core and make it cry at it's malf failure!
|}

===Who Needs What===
Miners don't have to deliver ores directly to departments -- they can if they want, or if those bastards are too lazy to leave their fortress of <s>autism</s> science -- but it never hurts to know what to aim for.

* [[Scientist]]s at least a bit of every ore. In exchange, they may give you upgrades for your Kinetic Accelerator, a [[Plasma Cutter]], a [[Research_items#Mining Satchel of Holding|Mining Satchel of Holding]], and, if you're lucky, Night Vision Meson Scanners or a [[Bag of Holding]]!
* [[Roboticist]]s need diamond, uranium, silver and gold for building mech parts. Give them enough and you've indirectly helped out most of the departments on the station if the Roboticists are competent enough to build helpful stompy mechs for everybody! Too bad the lavaproof Firefighter is the only good mech for mining.
* The [[Quartermaster]] may want mineral sheets to trade them in for bonus supply credits. Plasma in particular is both common and valuable.
* Everybody could always use more iron, glass and plasteel, but especially Roboticists and [[Station Engineer]]s.
* The [[Chemist]] and [[Guide to xenobiology|Xenobiologist]] will all appreciate having extra plasma.
* A competent [[Virologist]] can use several sheets of uranium to create incredibly powerful healing viruses that let you heal out of crit in two seconds.
* A [[Clown]] with Bananium is a grateful and dangerous ally.
* The [[Bartender]] can use a few sheets of uranium or iron to craft some of his rarest cocktails.

==Tips==
* Always go with at least two other people when mining. Not only can you mine faster together, the chance that they could both be 'lings/traitors is rather low. Pickaxe to the skull tends to put down most people.
* You can view the contents of a mining satchel as if it were a backpack.
* Middle mouse click swaps your hand, allowing you to shoot minerals and grat them with the satchel quickly.
* Minebots are great at distracting monsters. Just walk near and bash the distracted target with your drill. They can take quite a beating, though goliaths can take them down pretty quickly if you're not quick enough. Plus they collect all the crap gibtonite left.
* The Proto-kinetic Accelerator can destroy electrified grilles without needing a pair of insulated gloves.
* The Proto-kinetic Accelerator will obliterate a space carp in one hit while in space.
* You can dual wield PKAs. Use harm intent to fire both at once.
* The Head of Personnel may reward you with all access if you resurrect Ian. Also, sometimes the Research Director will reward you for a pet gold grub.
* If you're expecting trouble on the station, consider taking out a window on the mining shuttle before you return to make a quick getaway so you're not trapped like a rat in a cage.
* The mining drone can be repaired with a welding tool, but not in the middle of a fight. A goliath will always win in a one on one fight with a mining drone.
* You could alternatively buy the drone, fully upgrade it, give it an AI Module, and tell it to go valid-hunt. A mining drone dragging a bar of soap is surprisingly robust against even changelings.
* Life improving things:
** Mining suit upgrade : Goliath plates add +10% melee resist each time when applied to a suit. The plates will stack until they reach 30%, which may help you live in case a goliath grabs you.
** Security Jumpsuit : This gives a +10% melee resist to everywhere but your head. Nag the QM or HoP to give you one.
** Augmentations : Augs are VERY useful for miners, as healing with a welder is ultimately easier. Plus they work differently than armor when it comes to protection, instead reducing all brute damage taken by an augmented body part by 5 (4 for burn). Downside : EMP vulnerability.
* Kinetic accelerators can be used as infinite tools to navigate space, since every time you fire, it'll throw you in the opposite direction.
* Sentient minebots can very easily be commanded to go help security if there is an [[Nuclear Operative|imminent]] [[Clockwork Cult|threat]] to the station. Their melee saw is very robust, and works just as well as on all ships. The proto-kinetic accelerator that they are equipped with is very robust when in space.
* If you dont have a mining satchel of holding, and no ore box, you can deconstruct tables in the library (the curator is probably too busy organizing a game of D&D to really care much) to obtain wooden planks. You can then use these wooden planks to fabricate an ore box.
* If science hasn't researched Advanced Mining Technology within 10 minutes of the start of the shift, please remind them. There is normally at least 1 single person in science competent enough to do so.

==Dead Space==
A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away and a robust pickaxe. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses -- uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. You can also buy dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. As long as you have some mineral wealth or an ore box with you, no one will suspect your presence around the station, even in highly restricted areas like robotics or toxins, and if you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death!

===Tips for Traitoring===
* If you're a miner and you have to kill another miner; there's a really easy way to block communications one way so he can't call for help.
** Grab a multitool, go to the mining communications room.
** Use the multi tool on the relay and make sure the relay isn't sending, meaning your headset won't go to people on the station.
** Kill your target with their shouts for help unheard.
* More than one uranium wall is hilariously deadly, as they give off a pulse of radiation every couple of seconds. This pulse makes other uranium walls in range pulse as well, and they all run on their own timer.
* Tiers 0-1-2-3 can gib bodies, remember mining suits take 50% of damage away from bombs, so strip miners you want to make disappear forever first.
*Ripley is a fairly robust murdering tool, if you can, convince robotics to put a gravity catapult on it. '''SLAM PEOPLE INTO WALLS. THE SUFFERING NEVER ENDS.'''
*Space is your best ally. Your weapons are more lethal in space, and anyone who wants to chase you will need access to a jetpack and EVA gear. Make people fight on your terms by blowing up the station with various Gibtonite charges, or bust in, stun and drag targets into space.
*You can make a chemical payload container using any shitty bit of gibtonite. This can be useful for making chemical bombs, but it relies on knowing how to obtain specific chemicals that can be robust and accessible to a Miner.
====Tips for Culting====
If you're a miner, you'll find being a cultist a difficult task as the Rocinante blocks all teleportation from any source, meaning cult teleport runes won't work. You'll have to work something out, I suppose.

Cenrus: /* Syndicate Thermonuclear Frigate */

= Syndicate =

== Syndicate Interceptor ==

Syndicate interceptors are launched from larger, threatening carrier ships. Individually they pose little danger, but they can start dealing lots of damage when grouped up.

== Syndicate Bomber ==

Also launched from carrier ships. Similar to interceptors, but they are equipped with multiple torpedoes and will target capital ships. If you're a [[Fighter Pilot]], take these ones down first.

== Syndicate Light Cruiser ==

Smaller syndicate vessel which typically serves as a distraction to larger threats. Equipped with some light torpedoes.

== Syndicate Patrol Cruiser ==

A beefier version of the aforementioned light cruiser. Tough to kill battleship which can wreck havoc with its gauss turrets and radial MAC cannon.

== Syndicate Carrier ==

A high priority target which constantly spawns Syndicate interceptors and bombers. Carriers are supply ships which repair their allies.

== Syndicate Assault Cruiser ==

A slow, bulky tank of a ship that will devastate up close.

== Syndicate Boarding Frigate ==

A Frigate which prioritizes boarding the NSV by getting close enough. Evade at all costs, unless you want a group of angry [[Syndicate Drop Trooper]]s onboard.

== Syndicate Anti-air Frigate ==

The bane of [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]] everywhere. Fast, and will prioritize shooting down fighter craft with Flak and Anti-air guns.

== Syndicate Stealth Cruiser ==

The only ship type equipped with cloaking technology, which it uses to hide its IFF signal on the radar and turn partially invisible.

== Syndicate Thermonuclear Frigate ==

The big bad. Armed to the teeth with nuclear torpedoes and eager to test them out on you. If you encounter one in a system, run or prioritize shooting down the thermonuclear torpedoes with PDCs.

}}

Your primary task aboard your assigned vessel is to operate the systems that the engineers and [[Guide_to_Munitions|munitions techs]] maintain and feed. These include piloting the ship and operating most of the weapons through two consoles in CIC - the '''Flight Control Console''' and the '''Tactical Systems Console'''

=The DRADIS=

This is effectively the ship's radar, a medium-range sensor suit that can identify targets at short range and see them coming from a fairly long range. Multiple individuals can use the DRADIS at any given time and it is a requirement to effectively pilot the ship or aim the guns. '''Before using any console, click on the DRADIS console to bring up the radar, then click on the console you wish to use.'''

=The Flight Control Console=

The operator of this console is responsible for flying the ship. It's fairly straightforward, but there are some keys you need to know. In general, avoid getting hit if possible, try to dodge torpedoes, and avoid boarding vessels while remaining within sight of the enemy for your gunner.

The '''Space bar''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit space to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay there. '''Do not leave the parking break on while jumping into a hot zone.''' The chances that you remember to turn it off in those first few seconds of dodging torpedoes are very much '''not''' 100%. The deaths of so many innocent men weigh upon my soul.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy boarding vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for </s>pulling sick drifts</s>turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, and it's more useful for large titan class battleships such as the Galactica.

If your vessel is equipped with coaxial railguns, use '''Left Click''' to fire a Railgun round straight out of the nose of the ship. This can be very useful for finishing off crafts that have become stationary. This weapon is quite powerful and can fire in rapid succession, but must reloaded by munitions regularly.

Bear in mind that as the pilot, it's your duty to minimize losses by evading incoming fire and assisting the [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]] where needed. If the ATC reports that a pilot has ejected, you can help out by flying over to the ejected pod so it can dock safely.

=The Tactical Console=

The gunnery console is a little more straightforward, but it pays to have munitions tech experience. Knowing the rough ammo capacity of different weapons can be useful, but the names themselves are fairly informative. Hit the Control (Ctrl) key to switch between weapons. Being on this console will also give you a readout on the remaining ammo (in percentages) of the ships weapons, including those you can't fire from this console, as well as the ship's armor and structural integrity. ''Your'' weapons include:

'''Torpedoes'''
Click in a direction to fire a Torpedo. Torpedoes deal a significant amount of damage with a short travel time that may require a small amount of leading. Additionally, nuclear warheads can be loaded to deal a massive amount of damage but are difficult to acquire. Torpedo tubes also do not possess much ammo capacity, being limited to only a few torpedo tubes with a long loading time.

'''Point Defense Cannon'''
An automatic rapid-fire turret that consumes a massive amount of ammo. Click in a direction and hold down to fire a stream of bullets useful for hitting fast moving fighters and heavily damaging larger ships if close enough. These are crucial for shooting down torpedoes before they can impact the ship.

'''The Magnetic Accelerator (MAC)'''
A heavy-duty piercing shot that deals incredible damage. Click and hold to aim the laser sight and release to fire a shot. The MAC only has one shot before it must reload, so make your shots count and coordinate with munitions.

'''Flak'''
Automatic anti-aircraft guns that will fire with no input from you, creating a barrier between nearby ships. Flak can destroy incoming torpedoes and deal serious damage to enemy interceptors and bombers.

You will also have a readout of the Gauss and Railgun turrets, however these are not under your control. Gauss cannons are controlled directly by Munitions Technicians while the coaxial railgun is controlled by the helm officer (see above).

=The FTL Console=

This console controls the ship's long-range movement. It will provide you a map of various star systems that the ship can navigate to, as well as the ship's current location and how charged the FTL drive is. In order to make a jump, the drive must be 100% spooled up, which takes about a minute. If it isn't spooling at all, yell at engineering. As one might expect, this console doesn't need a dedicated crewmember; the pilot usually takes care of the job. However, in combat scenarios where the ship is fleeing, it might be neccesary for another member of the bridge crew to operate the FTL console while the pilot runs evasive maneuvers.

=When Not In Combat=

When you're not in combat, your second job comes in: Being the captain's whipping boy. During FTL jumps and while waiting for engineering to get its shit together, feel free to go make a run to the nearby cigarette vendor to sate the crippling nicotine addiction that you've adopted in order to retain your sanity while working this close to the captain. And remember, memeing with the captain is an important job. No matter how flagrantly he's abandoning his duty to throw stupid parties, your answer should always be "Yes </s>dear</s>sir."

Guide to Ship Superstructure and Armor

2020-08-30T17:44:57Z

Cenrus: /* APNW */ important note

If you're reading this, you probably want to know what those blaring sirens are all about. This guide will detail the basics of Ship superstructure integrity and armor plates along with how you can repair your vessel and save the day.

==Ship integrity==

Each vessel has a set number "health" points refering to the integrity of the superstructure of the ship, essentially the pieces that keep the ship together. Not all ships are created equally and will have varying degrees of maximum integrity. A ship's "health" is split between structural integrity and armor plating. Structural integrity is the raw "health bar" of the ship, whereas armor plating represents just that - armor that protects the primary superstructure from damage. This is represented as a seperate health pool (visible below structural integrity on a tactical console).

==Armor quadrants==

'''Disclaimer: The armor quadrants system is only currently only enabled on the main player ship, mining ships are excluded. Other ships will have to use hull repair juice.'''
There are four quadrants on each ship, split usually unevenly between the four. Whenever a corner of the ship is hit, that quadrant loses health and protects the main structure. '''Note: this will protect the ship from nuclear impacts.''' Any damage which is absorbed by quadrants will not cause explosions in the interior itself. When observing the overmap, each quadrant will become progressively more red as it takes damage. Areas indicated as red on your ship should avoid taking damage while piloting using the navigation console.

==Superstructure Critical==

As the integrity of the ship drops, you will begin to hear creaking noises from the hull, indicating that the ship's integrity is near being compromised. When the superstructure integrity falls enough, you will enter '''superstructure critical''' and a voiceover will announce this to the crew before sounding an alarm.

Once this alarm has begun you will have 10 minutes to repair the structural integrity above 20% otherwise the ship will enter an irreperable state and explode 5 minutes afterwards.

==APNW==

Otherwise known as the Armor Plating Nano-repair Well breaks down metal sheets inserted into liquid form to be distrubted to the Armor Plating Nano-repair Pumps. Ensure that a high-power wire is placed directly underneath the APNW at all times for it to function. To operate, insert iron, titianium, silver, or plasma and select the desired alloy on the Well's interface. Next, turn on processing by clicking the processing button which will turn green once activated. Ensure a fair amount of energy via the slider bar otherwise materials will not begin to process. If you wish to change the alloy at any time, you will need to turn off the processing and press the "Purge RR" button before selecting a new alloy. Different alloys will give a different repair efficiency rate, depending on which alloy is selected. How much power is inputted will also effect the efficiency of the repairing effect.

The system can run any number of pumps until it overheats, indicated by the "System stress" bar. Once the system stress passes 100% red lights will begin to flash and any active pumps will begin to fail and must be brought offline. Above this bar is is the "System Load" bar, if this goes above 100% it will begin to increase system stress and decrease system stress if returned to below 100%.

Like other machines, the well can be upgraded using higher quality parts obtained from Research and Development. Upgrading the well will improve repair rates and efficiency.

==APNP==

Each Armor Plating Nano-repair Pump or APNP can repair the respect quadrant it is attached to and the overall ship superstructure integrity. Each pump has a slider which sets how efficient it is at the cost of inceasing the System Load. Each pump has 100% capacity which can be divided between armor and integrity. Armor repair pumps repair Superstructure linearly, but repair armor plating itself differently. Attempting to repair armor that is critically damaged will have a penalty to efficiency, to repair armor plating the fastest, it is advised that Bridge staff attempt to spread the damage across all quadrants for the fastest possible repair times.

If overheated, indicated by red flashing lights, you will need to decrease the load on that particular armor repair pump to 0% and purge the system by taking a welder to cut the plating off, wrenching it, and then weld it once more to restore it to operational order. Additional armor pumps may be constructed and setup by linking the pump to the armor repair well using a multitool. '''Do note that additional pumps will add to the system load.'''

Guide to Munitions

2020-08-29T22:38:15Z

Cenrus: /* Gauss Guns */ can't be done

Do you long for new experiences? Are you comfortable working under pressure? Do you do well when working with explosives? Like making things go boom? If so, this is the guide for you! If you follow these simple instructions you will be prepared to load and maintain all of the weapons on your assigned vessel and qualified to call yourself a professional Munitions Technician. Be wary though, much like the goalie on a professional soccer team, you're the first one to blame if things go sour in combat, second only to the command staff, but if you can't handle the heat - stay out of the munitions bay.

==Loading the guns==
As a Munitions Technician, munitions assigned squad member, or Master At Arms, your job is to supply the various weapons on the ship with the ammo they need to continue firing. This includes the Point Defence Cannons (PDC), the Railgun, the Torpedo tubes, and the Gauss turrets. The faster you can load and prepare these weapons, the faster the bridge can open fire on enemy ships. Do note that not all of the weapons listed here may be on your assigned vessel, so be certain to take inventory at the beginning of a shift and prepare accordingly for each weapon's needs. 

[[File:Hammerhead_Munitions_Bay.png|right|thumb|An example of a munitions bay configuration.]]

===Point Defense Cannons===
Point defense cannons are the lifeblood of combat, serving as a rapid-fire, semi-inaccurate close-to-midrange weapon that is effective at taking down enemy fighters that other weapons may miss and dealing heavy damage to larger ships at close range when all bullets are able to hit. The Point Defense Cannons do not require any form of maintenance.

The PDC loading racks are typically located to the north of the munitions bay attached directly to a wall. They require ammo from the PDC ammo crates, which are colored yellow and red. To load the racks, you simply grab some ammo and stuff it in. There may number between 3 to five total PDC racks on any given ship. Each magazine contains several hundred bullets and drains relatively quickly from continuous use. Once you do need to replace them, simply click a rack with a full magazine, and you'll swap it out for the empty one.

===Flak Cannons===
Flak Cannons are your defence against torpedoes, they automatically fire at incoming torpedoes in an attempt to stop them from hitting the ship. Just like the Point Defence Cannons, they do not require maintaining.

The Flak loading racks look the same as the Point Defence Cannon racks, however they have a different name to set them apart from them, you load them in much the same way as you load the Point Defence Cannons, but you must load them with the boxes of Flak ammo for it to work.

===Railgun===
The Railgun is a heavy-duty cannon that fires powerful burst rounds. It is the only weapon controlled by the navigation console in the bridge and requires regular maintenance.

This is the great big thing that does great big damage. It uses Teflon-coated tungsten rounds, which can be found in metal crates round start. You can load up to four of these at once before the railgun is full - once it's loaded, go to the console in front of the railgun, click "Load Tray", then "Chamber Tray Payload", and finally "Disengage safeties". You'll have to click all of these in reverse order to re-load the weapon.

===Magnetic Accelerator (MAC)===
The Magnetic Accelerator, otherwise known as the MAC <s> tonight </s>, is the stronger older brother of the Railgun. Instead of firing burst rounds, the MAC fires a single powerful piercing shot but must be reloaded immediately afterward. The MAC requires the most frequent maintenance of any weapon.

The MAC functions almost identically to the Railgun, accepting the same ammo of Tungsten rounds but must be reloaded often and has a much faster durability decay. To maximize MAC usage, keep Tungsten rounds adjacent to the MAC at all times to load immediately and call out over munitions radio the status of the MAC so that CIC will be aware of when it will be down for maintenance and can plan accordingly.

===Torpedo Tubes===
Torpedo tubes, as the name suggests, fire high-velocity torpedoes which detonate immediately upon impact. Torpedo tubes are slow loading, require maintenance, and can be inaccurate due to their travel time but are capable of dealing incredible damage.

To load a torpedo tube, acquire a pre-made torpedo by dragging one onto a trolley (trolleys have a capacity of 5 torpedos) and bringing it over to the tube. Click on the trolley, click a torpedo to detach it, then drag and drop the torpedo into the tube to begin loading it. Afterward, use the adjacent console and press "Load tray", "Chamber Tray Payload", and finally "Disengage safeties" to finish loading the Torpedo tube. Remember to re-engage the Torpedo tube safeties whenever reloading to prevent damage.

===Gauss Guns===
Gauss guns can be found exclusively on multi-z maps, and fire 300mm Teflon coated tungsten rounds. Unlike other ship weaponry, these are not controlled by [[Bridge Staff]] using the tactical console and are typically manned by Munitions Technicians. Gauss guns require no maintenance.

To man gauss guns, buckle yourself into the gauss gunner chair and you'll rise into the cockpit above. To fire, click on the overmap to fire a powerful short-range burst. Gauss guns eat through ammo quickly, and you'll ideally want someone below deck keeping you loaded at all times. Loading tungsten rounds is as simple as placing them in a crate, click-dragging it to the loading rack, and sending it up for reloading. Additional slugs can be acquired from a nearby Gauss ammunition dispenser that can be upgraded by science to produce slugs at a faster rate.

==Acquiring ammunition==
This is inevitable, the ship will consume ammo at a rapid rate. If you are out of ammo outside of combat, the following list will instruct you on how to acquire more. If you are out of ammo mid-combat <s> you're fucked </s>, communicate this with CIC and the rest of your team and use what you have left for the other weapons while coordinating with cargo.

===PDC/Railgun/MAC===
These are the easiest ammunition types to acquire. PDC ammo can be acquired from cargo in crates containing several sheets of ammo. Do not overestimate the amount within these crates, however - order multiple as PDC fire will go through all of this ammo quickly. Railgun and MAC rounds are shared and can be acquired the same way but do not require as many orders to remain stocked.

===Torpedoes===
Torpedoes, unfortunately, cannot be ordered fully assembled and must be built by your own oil-covered hands. You need multiple things from cargo - components, casings, and warheads. Standard and armor piercing warheads can be ordered from cargo, but the other types must be researched by science before they can be made in the protolathe. Once you have all of these, acquire a set of tools, a cable coil, and flip down the welding shield on your helmet, then it's time to slap it together!

# Get a casing, either made from metal or ordered from cargo.
# Add the propulsion system.
# Wrench the propulsion into place.
# Add the guidance system.
# Screwdriver the guidance system in place.
# Add the IFF card.
# Screwdriver the card in place.
# Add the warhead.
# Wrench the warhead in place.
# Wire it.
# Wrench once more.
# Weld it all together.

There are a total of six different types of torpedoes you can make. Each serves a different purpose.
* Standard torpedoes are your stock standard torps. They carry an explosive payload that does a fair amount of damage to ships and fighters alike.
* Armor piercing torpedoes are able to do heavy damage to armored targets. Good against large ships.
* Nuclear torpedoes are the most powerful of the explosive torpedoes. They deal devastating damage to anything they hit, but are slower and more expensive than the other torpedo types. Use them wisely, as you won't be able to make more until science researches them.
* Decoy torpedoes don't carry an explosive payload, but can be used to distract an enemy's defensive weapons, giving you a clear shot for your more powerful weapons.
* Freight torpedoes are essentially cargo pods. Load them up and fire them at another ship to deliver the goods.
* Probes are torpedoes strapped with an array of scientific sensors. Firing one of these at an anomaly will generate research for science, and potentially unlock new technology nodes. Don't miss.

==Weapon maintenance==
The Torpedo Tubes, Railgun, and MAC require maintenance when they're used too much. You probably want to perform maintenance between each bout of combat. 
Note: make sure there's nothing in the weapons and that the safeties are on, to prevent unnecessary explosions.

# Unscrew the maintenance hatch on the primary external casing
# Unbolt (wrench) the internal maintenance panel
# Use a crowbar to carefully lever out the internal panel
# Apply 10 units of Oil to the exposed internal machinery, repeat as needed
# Replace (crowbar) and bolt (wrench) the panel, then fix (screwdriver) the hatch back in place

==You're ready==
It may be difficult to swallow all of the information you've read, but don't worry! You'll very rarely be working with all of these weapons at once as you have fellow Munitions Technicians at your side to pick up your slack. Above all, remember to have fun. With a bottle of spray paint, you can do all manner of things - name your torpedo tubes, draw funny faces near the PDC racks, and draw the borderline between the rest of the ship and the newly independent Munitia.

==More Dakka==
Is the ships just floating around in friendly space? Are all the guns loaded and you have nothing better to do? Or are those glorified laser pointers simply not enough? Fear not, because now you can even BUILD more guns! From the smallest PDC rack to the largets Railgun, you can outfit your ship with all the firepower.

'''Disclamer:''' this is ADVANCED munitions knowledge, you don't need to know this to be a [[Munitions Technician]]. If you know this, all the better for you, but first time MTs shouldn't read this, as the knowledge told up above is more than enough. Also, most ships come equiped with all the neccesary weapons to defend themselves, so building new ones should only be a side job.

With that out of the way, here are a few tips if you want to arm your ship:

*To build ''any'' weapon, you will need circuits that are researched by [[Scientist|R&D]]. These techs are costly, and are a good way down the tech tree, so don't expect them to be ready fast.
*If you have the circuits researched, you can begin the constructions by using metal or plasteel in your hand, scrolling down to the bottom of the menu, and picking the weapon frame, rack, etc. of your choice.
*Usually the more complicated the weapon's maintenance and loading is, the longer it will take to build it.
**The same goes for material cost. While a PDC rack might only need metal and a few machine parts, a Railgun will need metal, duranium, nanocarbon, and even more, complicated parts made from these materials, such as a loading tray.
**If at any point you don't know what to do, or you want to reverse something, you can just examine the weapon, and it will tell you what steps to take.

Guide to Munitions

2020-08-27T22:15:12Z

Cenrus: /* Gauss Guns */ fixed air cabin

Do you long for new experiences? Are you comfortable working under pressure? Do you do well when working with explosives? Like making things go boom? If so, this is the guide for you! If you follow these simple instructions you will be prepared to load and maintain all of the weapons on your assigned vessel and qualified to call yourself a professional Munitions Technician. Be wary though, much like the goalie on a professional soccer team, you're the first one to blame if things go sour in combat, second only to the command staff, but if you can't handle the heat - stay out of the munitions bay.

==Loading the guns==
As a Munitions Technician, munitions assigned squad member, or Master At Arms, your job is to supply the various weapons on the ship with the ammo they need to continue firing. This includes the Point Defence Cannons (PDC), the Railgun, the Torpedo tubes, and the Gauss turrets. The faster you can load and prepare these weapons, the faster the bridge can open fire on enemy ships. Do note that not all of the weapons listed here may be on your assigned vessel, so be certain to take inventory at the beginning of a shift and prepare accordingly for each weapon's needs. 

[[File:Hammerhead_Munitions_Bay.png|right|thumb|An example of a munitions bay configuration.]]

===Point Defense Cannons===
Point defense cannons are the lifeblood of combat, serving as a rapid-fire, semi-inaccurate close-to-midrange weapon that is effective at taking down enemy fighters that other weapons may miss and dealing heavy damage to larger ships at close range when all bullets are able to hit. The Point Defense Cannons do not require any form of maintenance.

The PDC loading racks are typically located to the north of the munitions bay attached directly to a wall. They require ammo from the PDC ammo crates, which are colored yellow and red. To load the racks, you simply grab some ammo and stuff it in. There may number between 3 to five total PDC racks on any given ship. Each magazine contains several hundred bullets and drains relatively quickly from continuous use. Once you do need to replace them, simply click a rack with a full magazine, and you'll swap it out for the empty one.

===Flak Cannons===
Flak Cannons are your defence against torpedoes, they automatically fire at incoming torpedoes in an attempt to stop them from hitting the ship. Just like the Point Defence Cannons, they do not require maintaining.

The Flak loading racks look the same as the Point Defence Cannon racks, however they have a different name to set them apart from them, you load them in much the same way as you load the Point Defence Cannons, but you must load them with the boxes of Flak ammo for it to work.

===Railgun===
The Railgun is a heavy-duty cannon that fires powerful burst rounds. It is the only weapon controlled by the navigation console in the bridge and requires regular maintenance.

This is the great big thing that does great big damage. It uses Teflon-coated tungsten rounds, which can be found in metal crates round start. You can load up to four of these at once before the railgun is full - once it's loaded, go to the console in front of the railgun, click "Load Tray", then "Chamber Tray Payload", and finally "Disengage safeties". You'll have to click all of these in reverse order to re-load the weapon.

===Magnetic Accelerator (MAC)===
The Magnetic Accelerator, otherwise known as the MAC <s> tonight </s>, is the stronger older brother of the Railgun. Instead of firing burst rounds, the MAC fires a single powerful piercing shot but must be reloaded immediately afterward. The MAC requires the most frequent maintenance of any weapon.

The MAC functions almost identically to the Railgun, accepting the same ammo of Tungsten rounds but must be reloaded often and has a much faster durability decay. To maximize MAC usage, keep Tungsten rounds adjacent to the MAC at all times to load immediately and call out over munitions radio the status of the MAC so that CIC will be aware of when it will be down for maintenance and can plan accordingly.

===Torpedo Tubes===
Torpedo tubes, as the name suggests, fire high-velocity torpedoes which detonate immediately upon impact. Torpedo tubes are slow loading, require maintenance, and can be inaccurate due to their travel time but are capable of dealing incredible damage.

To load a torpedo tube, acquire a pre-made torpedo by dragging one onto a trolley (trolleys have a capacity of 5 torpedos) and bringing it over to the tube. Click on the trolley, click a torpedo to detach it, then drag and drop the torpedo into the tube to begin loading it. Afterward, use the adjacent console and press "Load tray", "Chamber Tray Payload", and finally "Disengage safeties" to finish loading the Torpedo tube. Remember to re-engage the Torpedo tube safeties whenever reloading to prevent damage.

===Gauss Guns===
Gauss guns can be found exclusively on multi-z maps, and fire 300mm Teflon coated tungsten rounds. Unlike other ship weaponry, these are not controlled by [[Bridge Staff]] using the tactical console and are typically manned by Munitions Technicians. Gauss guns require no maintenance.

To man gauss guns, buckle yourself into the gauss gunner chair and you'll rise into the cockpit above. To fire, click on the overmap to fire a powerful short-range burst. Gauss guns eat through ammo quickly, and you'll ideally want someone below deck keeping you loaded at all times. Loading tungsten rounds is as simple as placing them in a crate, click-dragging it to the loading rack, and sending it up for reloading. Additional slugs can be acquired from a nearby Gauss ammunition dispenser that can be upgraded by science to produce slugs at a faster rate. In the event of a deceased individual being stuck in a Gauss gunner seat, use a crowbar to pull the seat back down manually.

==Acquiring ammunition==
This is inevitable, the ship will consume ammo at a rapid rate. If you are out of ammo outside of combat, the following list will instruct you on how to acquire more. If you are out of ammo mid-combat <s> you're fucked </s>, communicate this with CIC and the rest of your team and use what you have left for the other weapons while coordinating with cargo.

===PDC/Railgun/MAC===
These are the easiest ammunition types to acquire. PDC ammo can be acquired from cargo in crates containing several sheets of ammo. Do not overestimate the amount within these crates, however - order multiple as PDC fire will go through all of this ammo quickly. Railgun and MAC rounds are shared and can be acquired the same way but do not require as many orders to remain stocked.

===Torpedoes===
Torpedoes, unfortunately, cannot be ordered fully assembled and must be built by your own oil-covered hands. You need multiple things from cargo - components, casings, and warheads. Standard and armor piercing warheads can be ordered from cargo, but the other types must be researched by science before they can be made in the protolathe. Once you have all of these, acquire a set of tools, a cable coil, and flip down the welding shield on your helmet, then it's time to slap it together!

# Get a casing, either made from metal or ordered from cargo.
# Add the propulsion system.
# Wrench the propulsion into place.
# Add the guidance system.
# Screwdriver the guidance system in place.
# Add the IFF card.
# Screwdriver the card in place.
# Add the warhead.
# Wrench the warhead in place.
# Wire it.
# Wrench once more.
# Weld it all together.

There are a total of six different types of torpedoes you can make. Each serves a different purpose.
* Standard torpedoes are your stock standard torps. They carry an explosive payload that does a fair amount of damage to ships and fighters alike.
* Armor piercing torpedoes are able to do heavy damage to armored targets. Good against large ships.
* Nuclear torpedoes are the most powerful of the explosive torpedoes. They deal devastating damage to anything they hit, but are slower and more expensive than the other torpedo types. Use them wisely, as you won't be able to make more until science researches them.
* Decoy torpedoes don't carry an explosive payload, but can be used to distract an enemy's defensive weapons, giving you a clear shot for your more powerful weapons.
* Freight torpedoes are essentially cargo pods. Load them up and fire them at another ship to deliver the goods.
* Probes are torpedoes strapped with an array of scientific sensors. Firing one of these at an anomaly will generate research for science, and potentially unlock new technology nodes. Don't miss.

==Weapon maintenance==
The Torpedo Tubes, Railgun, and MAC require maintenance when they're used too much. You probably want to perform maintenance between each bout of combat. 
Note: make sure there's nothing in the weapons and that the safeties are on, to prevent unnecessary explosions.

# Unscrew the maintenance hatch on the primary external casing
# Unbolt (wrench) the internal maintenance panel
# Use a crowbar to carefully lever out the internal panel
# Apply 10 units of Oil to the exposed internal machinery, repeat as needed
# Replace (crowbar) and bolt (wrench) the panel, then fix (screwdriver) the hatch back in place

==You're ready==
It may be difficult to swallow all of the information you've read, but don't worry! You'll very rarely be working with all of these weapons at once as you have fellow Munitions Technicians at your side to pick up your slack. Above all, remember to have fun. With a bottle of spray paint, you can do all manner of things - name your torpedo tubes, draw funny faces near the PDC racks, and draw the borderline between the rest of the ship and the newly independent Munitia.

==More Dakka==
Is the ships just floating around in friendly space? Are all the guns loaded and you have nothing better to do? Or are those glorified laser pointers simply not enough? Fear not, because now you can even BUILD more guns! From the smallest PDC rack to the largets Railgun, you can outfit your ship with all the firepower.

'''Disclamer:''' this is ADVANCED munitions knowledge, you don't need to know this to be a [[Munitions Technician]]. If you know this, all the better for you, but first time MTs shouldn't read this, as the knowledge told up above is more than enough. Also, most ships come equiped with all the neccesary weapons to defend themselves, so building new ones should only be a side job.

With that out of the way, here are a few tips if you want to arm your ship:

*To build ''any'' weapon, you will need circuits that are researched by [[Scientist|R&D]]. These techs are costly, and are a good way down the tech tree, so don't expect them to be ready fast.
*If you have the circuits researched, you can begin the constructions by using metal or plasteel in your hand, scrolling down to the bottom of the menu, and picking the weapon frame, rack, etc. of your choice.
*Usually the more complicated the weapon's maintenance and loading is, the longer it will take to build it.
**The same goes for material cost. While a PDC rack might only need metal and a few machine parts, a Railgun will need metal, duranium, nanocarbon, and even more, complicated parts made from these materials, such as a loading tray.
**If at any point you don't know what to do, or you want to reverse something, you can just examine the weapon, and it will tell you what steps to take.
*Many weapon parts can be printed from the cargo protolathe. For this reason, it is a good idea to ask the [[Quartermaster]] for his spare machine board. If you can get your hands on the mchine board, you might even want to set up an autolathe as well.
*All big guns (Torp tubes, Railguns, MACs) will need a Munitions Computer linked to them. These computers are researched along other weapon parts, and can be [[Guide_to_construction#Computers|constructed like a normal computer]]. To link them, use a multitool on the built weapon first, then the computer, and select the deseried option. (There is a maximum range on the linking, altough the writer is not certain)
*One last tip: Don't overestimte how much ammo you have. Because making the ship into a giant sniper rifle with 20 railguns might be fun, cargo WILL swiftly run dry of credits trying to supply you with ammo. 30 PDC racks WILL destroy all the Torpedos launched at you, but the crew will easily go deaf from all the BRRRRT.
**For this reason, giving the [[Master_At_Arms|Munitions budget card]] to cargo might is higly recommended.

As said before, this is advanced stuff, usually you don't need to build new guns, and it's one hell of a job to try and keep them all loaded. But it does take up the downtime that you otherwise would have spent in the bar, and some <s> weird </s> people might find it fun.

Fighter Pilot

|duties = Fly fighters. Take down Syndicate carriers. Yell for help over the radio when you inevitably get blown up trying to take down Syndicate carriers.
|guides = [[Guide to Fighters]]
|quote = "How do I fly this thing?"
}}

You are a fighter pilot, one of the many key parts of [[Nanotrasen]]'s conflicts against the [[Syndicate]]. You are responsible, with the help of your mothership, for using your Fighter to eliminate Syndicate craft and provide combat support.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Get to your fighter, start it, exit the hangar, shoot the red people, get shot by the red people, and ''try'' to return home.
== Being a Fighter Pilot ==
As a fighter pilot, you answer to the flight leader directly. The master at arms outranks all of you, and your flight leader outranks you specifically. Your job is to provide CAP for the main ship in combat, operate Raptors to rescue pilots and perform utility work, and provide transport during boarding actions against hostile ships. You may also be called on to provide CAS in the event of an [[Planetary Assault|assault on a fortified planet]].

Make sure to listen to your [[Flight Leader]] and [[Air Traffic Controller]], as they will be vaguely trying to coordinate you during battle. The ATC also has access to DRADIS, and will be able to vector you to hostiles more effectively.

== Getting in the Air ==
When you first start, you'll have the opportunity to choose a fighter and get your flight suit on. Get in your assigned fighter, give it a <s>dumb</s> reasonable name, and get a deck technician to move your fighter to a mag-cat so that you can be launched. You can also spray-paint your fighter and flight suit to <s>gain bragging rights</s> stand out from the other fighters. Then, when the ship jumps into combat, <s>scream incoherently at</s> tell the ATC you're ready to launch and get ready to start shooting. Don't forget to disable your safeties after you leave the ship!

You may also wish to get pre-scanned for cloning, should you be killed during combat and rendered otherwise unretrievable.

== Into the Danger Zone ==
[[Guide to Fighters|Knowing how to fly]] is a must for this job, but just because you can doesn't make you a good pilot. A pilot needs to know how to coordinate themselves and their fellow pilots while in combat, in order to be effective. This means constant communication while flying, lest you wish to be left stranded in an escape pod. Good pilots constantly radio their current state, and are always willing to call for backup. Another important aspect to keep is that size matters. One should never try to take on a carrier by themselves (At least in a light fighter). Be sure to not fly in any pressurized enviroment, as it will drag you on the floor and damage the ship. Instead, use a ship tug to drag you out of the pressurized enviroment and onto a magcat.

Knowing your role is also very important. Light Fighters are much more effective against other fighters, however their missiles are less effective against heavily-armed cruisers and carriers. Heavy fighters are less maneuverable than light fighters, but their heavy guns and torpedos can do significant damage to even the heaviest of ships.

== You've got a Hole in your Right Wing! ==
No matter your skills, eventually you're gonna take a hit. Depending on the weapon that hits you, this can be anywhere from inconsequential to devistating. In the event of a hit, you should do this:
# Check your fighter's durability. Is it still high? keep going. Is it low? Get the fuck out of there before something worse gets damaged, and get repaired.
# Check for a master caution. If you hear an annoying beeping, check to see if the master caution light is illuminated on the fighter control panel. That means one of your components is damaged, and you should probably RTB to get it fixed. Don't turn off your engine either, as your APU could be damaged and you'll be stranded in space if you shut down.
# Check your canopy. It'll be quite obvious if it's breached, and if it is get your internals and hardsuit spaceworthy before you suffocate. While you can still fight without a canopy, you're a few shots away from ejecting entirely. Unless the situation is dire, your best option is return to the mothership for repairs.

When you land, yell at an MT to fix your fighter or (more likely) repair it yourself.

If your hull gets too damaged, you'll have to eject. This is an automatic progress, but you aren't invulnerable after punching out. Navigate your escape pod to a safe stretch of space, and start shouting over ATC comms for someone to come rescue you in a Sabre.

Cenrus: /* Syndicate Bomber */

Guide to enemy types

2020-08-05T14:32:34Z

Cenrus: basics

= Syndicate =

== Syndicate Interceptor ==

Syndicate interceptors are launched from larger, threatening carrier ships. Individually they pose little danger, but they can start dealing lots of damage when grouped up.

== Syndicate Bomber ==

Also launched from carrier ships. Similar to interceptors, but they are equipped with multiple torpedoes and will target capital ships. If you're a [[Fighter Pilot]], take these ones down fast.

== Syndicate Light Cruiser ==

Smaller syndicate vessel which typically serves as a distraction to larger threats. Equipped with some light torpedoes.

== Syndicate Patrol Cruiser ==

A beefier version of the aforementioned light cruiser. Tough to kill battleship which can wreck havoc with its gauss turrets and radial MAC cannon.

== Syndicate Carrier ==

A high priority target which constantly spawns Syndicate interceptors and bombers. Carriers are supply ships which repair their allies.

== Syndicate Assault Cruiser ==

A slow, bulky tank of a ship that will devastate up close.

== Syndicate Boarding Frigate ==

A Frigate which prioritizes boarding the NSV by getting close enough. Evade at all costs, unless you want a group of angry [[Syndicate Drop Trooper]]s onboard.

== Syndicate Anti-air Frigate ==

The bane of [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]] everywhere. Fast, and will prioritize shooting down fighter craft with Flak and Anti-air guns.

== Syndicate Stealth Cruiser ==

The only ship type equipped with cloaking technology, which it uses to hide its IFF signal on the radar and turn partially invisible.

== Syndicate Thermonuclear Frigate ==

The big bad. Armed to the teeth with nuclear torpedoes and eager to test them out on you. If you encounter one in a system, run or prioritize shooting down the thermonuclear torpedoes with PDCs. If one impacts the NSV, it's a guaranteed shuttle call.

Multiple individuals can use the DRADIS at any given time and it is a requirement to effectively pilot the ship or aim the guns. '''Before using any console, click on the DRADIS console to bring up the radar, then click on the console you wish to use.'''

=The Flight Control Console=

The operator of this console is responsible for flying the ship. It's fairly straightforward, but there are some keys you need to know. In general, avoid getting hit if possible, try to dodge torpedoes, and avoid boarding vessels while remaining within sight of the enemy for your gunner.

The '''Space bar''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit space to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle, and A and D move the ship left and right. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; you need to compensate or brake to slow down or stop.

The '''Alt key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay there. '''Do not leave the parking break on while jumping into a hot zone.''' The chances that you remember to turn it off in those first few seconds of dodging torpedoes are very much '''not''' 100%. The deaths of so many innocent men weigh upon my soul.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy boarding vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for </s>pulling sick drifts</s>turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe, and it's more useful for large titan class battleships such as the Galactica.

If your vessel is equipped with coaxial railguns, use '''Left Click''' to fire a Railgun round straight out of the nose of the ship. This can be very useful for finishing off crafts that have become stationary. This weapon is quite powerful and can fire in rapid succession, but must reloaded by munitions regularly.

Bear in mind that as the pilot, it's your duty to minimize losses by evading incoming fire and assisting the [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]] where needed. If the ATC reports that a pilot has ejected, you can help out by flying over to the ejected pod so it can dock safely.

=The Tactical Console=

The gunnery console is a little more straightforward, but it pays to have munitions tech experience. Knowing the rough ammo capacity of different weapons can be useful, but the names themselves are fairly informative. Hit the Control (Ctrl) key to switch between weapons. Being on this console will also give you a readout on the remaining ammo (in percentages) of the ships weapons, including those you can't fire from this console, as well as the ship's armor and structural integrity. ''Your'' weapons include:

'''Torpedoes'''
Click in a direction to fire a Torpedo. Torpedoes deal a significant amount of damage with a short travel time that may require a small amount of leading. Additionally, nuclear warheads can be loaded to deal a massive amount of damage but are difficult to acquire. Torpedo tubes also do not possess much ammo capacity, being limited to only a few torpedo tubes with a long loading time.

'''Point Defense Cannon'''
An automatic rapid-fire turret that consumes a massive amount of ammo. Click in a direction and hold down to fire a stream of bullets useful for hitting fast moving fighters and heavily damaging larger ships if close enough. These are crucial for shooting down torpedoes before they can impact the ship.

'''The Magnetic Accelerator (MAC)'''
A heavy-duty piercing shot that deals incredible damage. Click and hold to aim the laser sight and release to fire a shot. The MAC only has one shot before it must reload, so make your shots count and coordinate with munitions.

'''Flak'''
Automatic anti-aircraft guns that will fire with no input from you, creating a barrier between nearby ships. Flak can destroy incoming torpedoes and deal serious damage to enemy interceptors and bombers.

You will also have a readout of the Gauss and Railgun turrets, however these are not under your control. Gauss cannons are controlled directly by Munitions Technicians while the coaxial railgun is controlled by the helm officer (see above).

=The FTL Console=

This console controls the ship's long-range movement. It will provide you a map of various star systems that the ship can navigate to, as well as the ship's current location and how charged the FTL drive is. In order to make a jump, the drive must be 100% spooled up, which takes about a minute. If it isn't spooling at all, yell at engineering. As one might expect, this console doesn't need a dedicated crewmember; the pilot usually takes care of the job. However, in combat scenarios where the ship is fleeing, it might be neccesary for another member of the bridge crew to operate the FTL console while the pilot runs evasive maneuvers.

=When Not In Combat=

When you're not in combat, your second job comes in: Being the captain's whipping boy. During FTL jumps and while waiting for engineering to get its shit together, feel free to go make a run to the nearby cigarette vendor to sate the crippling nicotine addiction that you've adopted in order to retain your sanity while working this close to the captain. And remember, memeing with the captain is an important job. No matter how flagrantly he's abandoning his duty to throw stupid parties, your answer should always be "Yes </s>dear</s>sir."

Guide to Fighters

2020-08-02T17:07:49Z

Cenrus: /* Take Off */ new controls

Wishing to pilot a fighter is equal to wishing to die, in that both will get you killed. Welcome to the Guide to Fighters.

'''Please note that there are several in-game tools for this for you to learn for yourself. Consult a Seegson terminal or the current FL for help.''' However, if your FL is completely incompetent (standard), read on.

== THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ==

Surprisingly, this is a list of the most important things to know about fighters.

=== Prerequisites ===
Before you even get in (which is done by left-clicking the fighter and entering the pilot seat), look at this list of helpful things:

* Fighter hardsuits and double-extended oxygen tanks from the suit containers near the hangar will save your life later, so get those.
* Entering a fighter will create two new parts of your GUI.
** "Stop observing" will exit the fighter. Do not press this while in space.
** The Ship tab, next to Preferences in the top right, contains every menu that you'll ever need, and some you won't.
* All fighters are equipped with a DRADIS, a radar system which updates once per second. It is a simple minimap showing you (blue), friendlies (green) and hostiles (red). Note that red may not always mean hostile, but that's not your call to make.
* Fighters have a fuel tank. The less fuel they have, the less time you have to fly. Jet Fuel is made in Chemistry and you start with a tanker of it in the hangar. Click and drag to refill fighters.

=== Take Off ===
Once you've got in the fighter, lots of screens will immediately pop up. Panic for precisely <s>four seconds, then initiate use of your brain</s> for a full two minutes because there's this entire new screen now and you don't know what does buttons do and there's a new fuel counter and oh god oh fuck what do i do

There's a whole load of buttons and a whole lot of time to press them in. But don't. Not yet. Make sure you read this super cool guideTM first, because else you'll fuck it up and die.

Hit the Canopy Lock button to, uh, close the Canopy. This will seal the fighter and make it run on internal atmospherics instead of external atmospherics. It will also prevent you from exiting the fighter, so remember to toggle it off if you wish to preserve the structural integrity of your head.

Hit the buttons from top to bottom, halting at the battery <s>or just turn on the battery since it toggles all three on</s> and then lock the throttle (using the Throttle Lock). Toggle the APU once you're ready to start up, and turn off the throttle after a few seconds because if you don't you'll flood the engines with explosive fuel and it will fizzle out. You are now moving! Try not to crash into the wall.

Inertia dampeners are the equivalent of the handbrake for your ship. They will very quickly prevent any movement in any direction, so if you're looking to go in a direction, these won't help. You can toggle your inertia dampeners with the Alt key or through the respective button in the control panel <s>please never do this</s>.

Pressing the spacebar toggles laser-guided movement, which allows you to use your mouse to rotate the fighter. This is enabled by default. 
You can use WASD to strafe in all directions, then disable laser-guided movement to get a cool new arrow and the ability to control it with Q and E. This arrow represents the direction your ship will eventually go once it's figured out that turning is actually a good thing.
 
Press shift to engage the afterburners, which will provide a temporary speed boost, useful for evading incoming fire and catching up with thr mothership when the pilot just won't slow down. Pressing X toggles intertial assistance mode, which will cause your ship to fly in the direction it is facing. Useful for big bulky boats, not so much for small nimble fighters.

You can press the Help verb in the Ship tab to remind yourself of these <s>before you take off like a responsible pilot</s> while you're dying.

=== Shooting ===
Movement is all well and good, but if you can only move you'll eventually die or piss yourself as you almost die. First, you want to get into space and far away from the ship you launched from, preferably in the direction of <s>other fighters</s> hostile craft. Then, disable your weapon safeties with the relevant verb in the Ship tab or through the respective button in the control panel. You are now ready to explode things with your weapons, which begs the question: what are your weapons?

The Ctrl key switches firing modes between long range acquisition (for using homing missiles) and manual point defence (for the flak cannon). If you actually want to damage anything, choose missiles. If you want to live, choose manual point defense.

Your missiles pack a really big punch, so if you fire in the general direction of the enemy, they'll home in and explode. Try not to have them home in on your mothership. 
Your fighter can fit up to six of these at the same time, and they can be shot down with point defense, so use them wisely. With that in mind, let's talk about point defense.
 
It's also good to note that there is every useful tool called Lock-on targeting that allows you to pick a ship out of the crowd in the middle of combat. This is done by holding shift and then clicking on the ship you want to target. This will probably do some beeps and boops and maybe show some sort of indicator, but now '''all of your missiles will target that ship, and with increased efficiency.''' This is very useful for <s>hitting your own fighters</s> singling out single ships to take them out more efficiently.

As your backup weaponry, your flak cannon is shit. It functions like a three-burst railgun and has pitiful damage, but infinite ammo. Luckily, it has a purpose beyond "I've run out of missiles", and that's to shoot down missiles that OTHER ships have shot. Just make sure the missile is targeting you or your allies first, because if you shoot down all of the missiles aimed at the enemy ship, you might find yourself being the next target of everyone else's flak cannons.

=== Landing ===
When you want to go back to the ship for [[Guide_to_Fighters#hit by missile send help|various reasons]], enable the docking mode in your Ship panel, or the respective button in the control panel, and fly directly into it. Your ship will proceed to enter the ship Z-level, which indicates a successful docking, allowing you to maneuver yourself back to the hangar.

== Actually getting off the ground ==
Theory is easy. The real world is not. Let's have a look at that second one.

=== Finding a Fighter ===
On most maps, there will be 6 fighters somewhere near the hangar pre-outfitted and ready for takeoff: 5 Vipers, the standard fighters, and one Raptor. Ignore the Raptor and take a Viper.

Assuming your FL hasn't already set the fighters out neatly, you will need to maneuver a fighter into the hangar yourself. Just get in, disable the dampeners, get it onto one of the highlighted spaces, and re-dampen. Disable the laser turning, and get out. You've got yourself a fighter.

When it's time to fly, your FL will (presumably) announce on the Air Traffic Control/ATC radio channel (accessed through :h) that the Launch Bays are open. Ensure that you are allowed to enter one of these launch bays before you recklessly launch your fighter directly into a hostile warhead.

=== Launch Procedures ===
If you enter a launch bay, you will immediately lose control of your fighter. Don't get out or you'll wish you were dead, then you'll die. Because you're in space. Stop having an existential crisis, and recognize you cannot move. You're currently on a magnetic arrestor.

This essentially functions as a much larger inertia dampener which you cannot control; somebody in Air Control must release or launch you. Stay in your fighter and wait for the signal from your FL. They will use the launch computer and engage the launch sequence. This will be fairly obvious by the loud launch noises in your ears. The process should take around 10 seconds. Angle yourself towards space (NOT A WALL, PLEASE NOT A WALL), wait for launch, and you'll be sent into the cold dark void of space.

=== Ship to Ship Combat ===
Once you've launched, you will most likely see some red signatures on your DRADIS computer. These are signatures that have invalid IFF, and are (probably) extremely hostile. If they are, they will most likely be Syndicate ships (and if they're not Syndicate ships then you're fucked anyway).

There are two types of Syndicate ships. Corvettes, and Frigates, and they both have guns. Guns that shoot you.

Corvettes are slow, but, like fighters, have missiles and flak cannons of their own. However, unlike fighters, they have a larger missile capacity and do a lot more damage with their flak cannon.

Frigates are even bigger and slower, but have access to the devastating railgun, a shipside system that fires magnet-accelerated tungsten rounds at lightning speeds: basically an immovable rod. Good fucking luck.

You will want to give both of these ships a very wide berth, and ideally take them on with the help of your own ship, as Nanotrasen Space Vessels all come equipped with their own railgun for precisely this purpose.

Your FL will most likely give orders on formation. If they don't, stick with your other fighters and be careful. 'Lone Wolf' pilots die very quickly when hit by thermonuclear missiles, and since nobody else is with them, no raptor goes to pick them up.

=== hit by missile send help ===
Thanks to our crack<s>head</s> engineers at NT, your fighter is equipped with armour plates that can block at least one shot. Maybe. If you've taken at least two shots, 9 out of 10 experts would recommend getting the hell out of there. Engage docking, run home to mommy, and let the <s>Munitions Technician</s> <s>Air Traffic Controller</s> Deck Technician figure out how you've managed to lodge an unexploded bomb in your fighter.

=== Is that explosion sprite bad? ===
You are now ship-less. Good job. Absolutely stellar. Here's a Medal of Honor. Luckily, Escape Pods are <s>invulnerable</s> not invulnerable, but they are equipped with enough armour to weather a few shots. If your pod gets shot down, though, you're dead for good. Hopefully you pre-scanned!

Escape Pods come equipped with one atmosphere of air, so conserve your oxygen by disabling your internals. If you find yourself unable to breathe, perhaps re-enable those internals you just forgot about.

Once your air situation is sorted, scream over the Air Traffic Control channel that you're stranded in a pod in space, and assuming the ATC controller isn't a brainlet (lol good luck), somebody will come to rescue you in a Raptor. Speaking of:

=== The Raptor ===
The Raptor can be distinguished from the other fighters by searching for intricate details on its hull: the rounded nose, the slightly wider cockpit, and the fact that it's a completely different ship. However, it is functionally identical to the other fighters, except you can now pick up escape pods from the poor sods who've forgotten how to activate point defense.

To retrieve escape pods with the Raptor, enable docking mode and slam into the pod. It'll look like it has exploded, which indicates a successful retrieval.

Once docked with the main ship, you may eject the body of your co-worker <s>directly into space</s> onto the hangar bay floor, where he will promptly either get up and shout at you for being too slow ("Of course I am the most important pilot here, do you even know who I am?") or die.

== Manual Repairs and Missile Replacement ==
If your Munitions Tech is incompetent, busy or otherwise unavailable (or perhaps you're a Munitions Tech with no idea what they're doing), you will need to channel your inner Engineer and pray to the one true Stormdrive, for you must now commit to the ultimate sin - doing something yourself and servicing the ship ''that you own''.

First, open the maintenance panel. Grab a wrench to unbolt it then pry it open with a crowbar. This will either destroy your fighter completely (bad) or put it into maintenance mode (good).

In maintenance mode, you can refill missiles, swap out components, and repair your ship.

=== Repairing hull damage ===
If you somehow managed to keep your fighter after it got hit by a missile, and there aren't any enemies left, return to hangar for repairs (if there are enemies left, what are you waiting for you pansy?).

Ensure the maintenance panel is closed, grab yourself a Welder and a Welding Mask (there should be a welding equipment locker somewhere in the hangar) and click on the ship. Your character somehow has an innate knowledge of where the broken things are, and will perfectly fix them with no prior training. You'll need to do this multiple times - opening the maintenance panel will allow you to see the structural integrity of the ship.

=== Replacing missiles ===
If you've launched both of your missiles, and your point defence cannons just aren't doing it for you, return to hangar for refill. Refilling missiles is surprisingly simple:

Open the maintenance panel of your ship, then grab yourself a '''Munitions Trolley''', which will either be in the thermonuclear warhead section of the armory (red door to the west), or strewn randomly about the hangar. In the armory, 3 missile types are available: NTP-1 High Velocity, NTP-2 Standard, NTNK Thermonuclear, and a fourth missile type only available through Munitions, the NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure:
* NTP-1 High Velocity is the fastest but weakest.
* NTP-2 Standard is the most well-rounded.
* NTNK Thermonuclear is a nuke (and therefore very powerful), but is easily shot down and has poor tracking.
* NTP-0x Electronic Countermeasure has almost no power, but is useful as a blank shot to draw fire.

Click and drag up to two missiles onto the trolley, bring it beside your fighter, and put them both on the ground, then click and drag the missiles into your ship, and close the maintenance panel.

=== Replacing Fuel ===
There should be a tank of Jet Fuel in the hangar somewhere which looks like a welder container. Please do not use a welder container.

Drag the tank over to the thirsty Fighter, click and drag the tank onto said Fighter, and after a few seconds it'll top them up.

=== We've run out of things ===
==== We've run out of fuel ====
You poor thing. Go beg for more from Chemistry.

==== We've run out of missiles ====
You poorer thing. Go beg for more from Munitions.

==== We've run out of fighters ====
How? You know what? Sure.

You can build new ones! Get RnD to research fighter construction, have cargo print the parts, and assemble them in the hangar. You want two wings and engines, and one of everything else. Keep a toolbox with a multitool and a welding mask handy for this process.

#Start with the fuselage. Construct, wrench and weld it.
#Attach the empennage, wrench, and weld it.
#Attach a wing, wrench, and weld it. Repeat for other wing.
#Attach and wrench landing gear.
#Attach armour plating, screwdriver, and weld it.
#Wire the fighter. Multitool this wiring to calibrate it.
#Attach and wrench fuel tank. (can be improved!)
#Attach and wrench fuel lines. (can be improved!)
#Attach and weld engine. Repeat for other engine. Multitool to calibrate engines. (can be improved!)
#Attach cockpit, screwdriver, and wrench it.
#Wire fighter again.
#Attach avionics, screwdriver, and multitool to calibrate it.
#Attach targeting sensors, then screwdriver and multitool to calibrate it. (can be improved!)
#Use the airlock painter in the centre of the hangar to paint the fighter.
#Click it to name it. Examples: "Thor XCI", "Vishari 52", "Thermonuclear Missile 3"

Miraculously, a fighter appears!

Do note that you cannot build more Raptors. Don't destroy those ones.

== Bonus Information ==
* You can change the name of your fighter in the Ship panel.
* Raptors can hold an infinite number of escape pods.
* If you have the required access, you can swipe your ID on a fighter to boot the current occupants out and enable the inertia dampeners. Useful for that one griffing bastard or when your Raptor rescue has become a cadaver.

This role is similar in some aspects to the [[Traitor]] role. For additional information, visit that page. For information on the Syndicate organization, see [[The Syndicate]].

'''Syndicate Drop Troopers''' (More commonly known as boarders) are a group of combat trained commandos tasked with the goal of taking over and hijacking ships. The border is a midround antag that can spawn when a Syndicate boarding vessel is able to fly in close to a player controlled ship. When this is accomplished, ghosts that have their Operative Antagonist preference enabled will be given a prompt to join as a Syndicate Drop Trooper. After which, the team will spawn in a multi-seat fighter in space next to the ship. That's when the real fun begins.

==Mission Briefing==
As agents of the syndicate, your job is to force a shuttle call and then hijack said shuttle, ensuring no Nanotrasen loyal crew are aboard by the time it docks. Other syndicate agents, silicon creatures (Not including IPC crew), and animals don’t count against this objective.

===The Boarding Craft===
You and your fellow commandos will all spawn within a fighter just off of the ship. From here, you can fly around and find a point of entry. Avoid flying out into open space, as doing so puts you at risk of being shot down by the ship. The fighter lacks weapons and is only equipped with a turbo engine in case you need a quick speed boost.

===Equipment===
When you spawn, you’ll be given a basic gear set to work with. You may also get additional telecrystals to spend on additional gear, depending on the size of the crew. Upon spawning in, you'll get the following items;

* '''Syndicate Drop Trooper Space Suit''' - This very easy to identify suit is space proof and reinforced with armor plates. Also included are combat gloves, boots, and a syndicate mask. A box with a spare O2 tank and mask are also provided.
* '''Syndicate Headset''' - Contains a syndicate encryption key, allowing you to listen in on all radio channels and gives access to a secret syndicat channel, accessed with :h or :t
* '''Syndicate Utility Belt''' - Contains a full set of hacking and deconstruction tools. Useful for getting into locked locations. The combat gloves are shock proof, so you’re safe to hack doors.
* '''Agent ID''' - This card can be modified to give it any appearance you choose, but more importantly, it can copy the access settings of any card it’s swiped over. The access is additive, meaning every card you swipe will have its access added to this ID.
* '''C-20r SMG''' - A two round burst/semi-automatic ballistic gun that comes loaded with 24 rounds with three additional magazines in your bag. Can have a combat knife attached as a bayonet, or a silencer to reduce the noise it makes.
* '''Stechkin APS Pistol''' - A fairly powerful handgun that can be set to semi-automatic or three round burst. Contains 15 rounds of ammo.
* '''Combat Knife''' - A fairly robust melee weapon. Can be attached to your SMG as a bayonet, or slotted into your boot as a back-up weapon in case you lose your guns.
* '''Station Bounce Radio/Syndicate Uplink''' - Your standard traitor uplink. Allows you to purchase additional gear with Telecrystals.
* '''Microbomb Implant''' - Upon death or manual activation, this implant in your skull will cause you and all of your carried equipment to explode, violently gibbing you and damaging anyone and anything nearby. Use this to avoid capture, to destroy your gear if you’re being stripped, or as a last resort to inflict damage against someone or something.

==Taking Control==

Your fighter has landed on the enemy ship, and you’re all geared up and ready to roll. Remember, your objective is to hijack the emergency shuttle. To do this, you first need to force a shuttle call. There are a few possible ways to do this.

* Gain access to an ID with command console access. Using this, you can call the escape shuttle yourself from any command console. However, be aware that any crew with access can recall the shuttle. You’ll either need to defend the consoles to prevent a recall, or give the crew reason to not want to recall.
* Sabotage the ship. If the ship is unable to properly function, the crew will be inclined to call the shuttle themselves. This can be done in a variety of ways, including destroying the ship’s weapons if they’re in a firefight, sabotage the power net, or cause the ships reactor to explode (Beware of radiation or other harmful side effects).
* Kill important crew members. A crew without a leader is easy to scare. Taking out heads of staff like the captain, executive officer, and head of security may be enough to scare the crew into calling the shuttle.

Once the shuttle call has been made, get you and your team to escape and hold the line. No Nanotrasen crew may be allowed to escape on the shuttle, so kill any non-syndicate that try to board. AIs and borgs may not count against this objective, but their laws require them to safeguard the crew, so expect them to be hostile. Once the shuttle arrives, get on and keep fighting till you depart. After the shuttle departs, double check crates and closets for stowaways. Once you’re clear, breath a sigh of relief and celebrate with your fellow syndi on a job well done.

This role is similar in some aspects to the [[Traitor]] role. For additional information, visit that page. For information on the Syndicate organization, see [[The Syndicate]].

Syndicate borders (Also known as Syndicate Drop Trooper) are a group of combat trained commandos tasked with the goal of taking over and hijacking ships. The border is a midround antag that can spawn when a Syndicate boarding vessel is able to fly in close to a player controlled ship. When this is accomplished, ghosts that have their Midround Antagonist preference enabled will be given a prompt to join as a Syndicate drop trooper. After which, the team will spawn in a multi-seat fighter in space next to the ship. That's when the real fun begins.

==Mission Briefing==
As agents of the syndicate, your job is to force a shuttle call and then hijack said shuttle, ensuring no Nanotrasen loyal crew are aboard by the time it docks. Other syndicate agents, silicon creatures (Not including IPC crew), and animals don’t count against this objective.

===The Boarding Craft===
You and your fellow commandos will all spawn within a fighter just off of the ship. From here, you can fly around and find a point of entry. Avoid flying out into open space, as doing so puts you at risk of being shot down by the ship. The fighter lacks weapons and is only equipped with a turbo engine in case you need a quick speed boost.

===Equipment===
When you spawn, you’ll be given a basic gear set to work with. You may also get additional telecrystals to spend on additional gear, depending on the size of the crew. Upon spawning in, you'll get the following items;

* '''Syndicate Drop Trooper Space Suit''' - This very easy to identify suit is space proof and reinforced with armor plates. Also included are combat gloves, boots, and a syndicate mask. A box with a spare O2 tank and mask are also provided.
* '''Syndicate Headset''' - Contains a syndicate encryption key, allowing you to listen in on all radio channels and gives access to a secret syndicat channel, accessed with :h or :t
* '''Syndicate Utility Belt''' - Contains a full set of hacking and deconstruction tools. Useful for getting into locked locations. The combat gloves are shock proof, so you’re safe to hack doors.
* '''Agent ID''' - This card can be modified to give it any appearance you choose, but more importantly, it can copy the access settings of any card it’s swiped over. The access is additive, meaning every card you swipe will have its access added to this ID.
* '''C-20r SMG''' - A two round burst/semi-automatic ballistic gun that comes loaded with 24 rounds with three additional magazines in your bag. Can have a combat knife attached as a bayonet, or a silencer to reduce the noise it makes.
* '''Stechkin APS Pistol''' - A fairly powerful handgun that can be set to semi-automatic or three round burst. Contains 15 rounds of ammo.
* '''Combat Knife''' - A fairly robust melee weapon. Can be attached to your SMG as a bayonet, or slotted into your boot as a back-up weapon in case you lose your guns.
* '''Station Bounce Radio/Syndicate Uplink''' - Your standard traitor uplink. Allows you to purchase additional gear with Telecrystals.
* '''Microbomb Implant''' - Upon death or manual activation, this implant in your skull will cause you and all of your carried equipment to explode, violently gibbing you and damaging anyone and anything nearby. Use this to avoid capture, to destroy your gear if you’re being stripped, or as a last resort to inflict damage against someone or something.

==Taking Control==

Your fighter has landed on the enemy ship, and you’re all geared up and ready to roll. Remember, your objective is to hijack the emergency shuttle. To do this, you first need to force a shuttle call. There are a few possible ways to do this.

* Gain access to an ID with command console access. Using this, you can call the escape shuttle yourself from any command console. However, be aware that any crew with access can recall the shuttle. You’ll either need to defend the consoles to prevent a recall, or give the crew reason to not want to recall.
* Sabotage the ship. If the ship is unable to properly function, the crew will be inclined to call the shuttle themselves. This can be done in a variety of ways, including destroying the ship’s weapons if they’re in a firefight, sabotage the power net, or cause the ships reactor to explode (Beware of radiation or other harmful side effects).
* Kill important crew members. A crew without a leader is easy to scare. Taking out heads of staff like the captain, executive officer, and head of security may be enough to scare the crew into calling the shuttle.

Once the shuttle call has been made, get you and your team to escape and hold the line. No Nanotrasen crew may be allowed to escape on the shuttle, so kill any non-syndicate that try to board. AIs and borgs may not count against this objective, but their laws require them to safeguard the crew, so expect them to be hostile. Once the shuttle arrives, get on and keep fighting till you depart. After the shuttle departs, double check crates and closets for stowaways. Once you’re clear, breath a sigh of relief and celebrate with your fellow syndi on a job well done.

Air Traffic Controller

You are an Air Traffic Controller, you coordinate the fighters all the way from launch to the return to base, make sure none get left behind and update
both them and the rest of the ship of the status of the Area of Operations.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Find the ATC Control room and launch the fighters, launch a empty fighter and then get ridiculed.

== Is that All? ==
Air Traffic Controller can be as useful as the player wants it to, you really are the only guy on the ship whose job is to check the DRADIS and isn't busy with something else, the pilots are trying not to get blown up and command staff is probably chasing after that RD that added a catgirl law to the AI.

== MagCats and You ==
MagCats or Magnetic Catapults are the totally safe 90% of the time preferred way to deploy your expendable fighters to the AO, double check with the pilot the ship on that catapult is in fact occupied (yes, it happens more than you think) and that they are ready for launch, if all is green, launch them from the console next to the DRADIS. The same console can be used to directly message the fighter pilot, which is useful for pre-flight checks.

== How to report information ==
Unless someone asks via common, you should only update via Air Control Channel, report how many contacts are there when you arrive to the AO as your DRADIS is the only one in ACC that is immediately scanning the AO Z level. Stay vigilant on contacts and inform if neccesary to the pilots of important targets such as carriers or cruisers.
Do your best to keep the pilots out of trouble. If a pilot has burst their canopy, tell them to RTB immediately and try to inform the helms officer that they should slow down so that the pilot can dock safely. Once the pilot is back safe and sound, use your munitions headset and ask an MT to repair their ship. If the munitions staff are unavaliable, you have the access needed to do the job yourself. If worse comes to worse and a pilot ejects, it's time to deploy the...

== Rescue craft ==

This is the Sabre, otherwise known as the Raptor, and is located in the hangar on every map. It is equipped with a search and rescue module and is capable of scooping up stray escape pods left behind from destroyed ships. You may be expected to retrieve pods after the pilots crash and burn, so climb in, engage docking mode, and crash into the pod you want to retrieve. If all went well, you'll have a particularly grateful pilot in your passenger seat.

== Juice Cartons ==
By using cardboard you can make and fill these cartons with 15 units of anything. Perfect for those precious little assistants.

=Food=
You need food to avoid [[#Hunger|hunger]]. Food is cooked either with the crafting menu [[File:Crafting_menu_hud_icon.png]] or by putting certain ingredients into different types of machinery, such as the [[#Microwave Oven|microwave]] [[File:Microwave.png]].

==Example Cooking Guide==
As an example that requires both machinery and the crafting menu, here is how to cook a [[#Sausage|sausage]] [[File:Sausage.png]]:
#Grab two pieces of meat [[File:Meat.png]] from your fridge.
#Put one of the pieces of meat [[File:Meat.png]] into the [[#Processor|food processor]] [[File:Processor.png]].
#Click the [[#Processor|food processor]] [[File:Processor.png]] to turn it on. This will turn the meat into a [[#Faggot|faggot]] [[File:Faggot.png]].
#Place the other piece of meat [[File:Meat.png]] on any table [[File:R-table.png]].
#Vend a kitchen knife [[File:Knife.png]] from the [[Vendors#Dinnerware|dinnerware vendor]] [[File:Venddinnerware.gif]], and use it on the piece of meat [[File:Meat.png]]. It should turn into 3x [[#Raw_Cutlet|raw meat cutlets]] [[File:Rawmeatcutlet.png]].
#Put two of the [[#Raw_Cutlet|raw meat cutlets]] [[File:Rawmeatcutlet.png]] into a [[#Microwave Oven|microwave]] [[File:Microwave.png]] (by clicking the [[#Microwave Oven|microwave]] with a raw cutlet in active hand).
#Turn on the [[#Microwave Oven|microwave]] [[File:Microwave.png]] by alt-clicking it. The two [[#Raw_Cutlet|raw meat cutlets]] [[File:Rawmeatcutlet.png]] should turn into [[#Cutlet|cutlets]] [[File:Meatcutlet.png]].
#Place the [[#Faggot|faggot]] [[File:Faggot.png]] and the two [[#Cutlet|cutlets]] [[File:Meatcutlet.png]] on the same tile (such as the same table).
#Stand within 1 tile's reach from both the [[#Faggot|faggot]] [[File:Faggot.png]] and the two [[#Cutlet|cutlets]] [[File:Meatcutlet.png]]. Click the crafting menu HUD icon [[File:Crafting_menu_hud_icon.png]] to open the crafting menu.
#In the crafting menu, cycle through categories with arrows until you reach "Foods". Then cycle through the subcategories of "Foods" until you find "Meats".
#If you followed the above steps correctly, the "Sausage" recipe should be clickable (instead of greyed out). Click it and stand still a few seconds to craft a [[#Sausage|sausage]] [[File:Sausage.png]].

==Ingredients==
===[[File:Butcherknife.png|64px]]Butchering[[File:Gibber.png|64px]]===
This is how you get your meat [[File:Meat.png|64px]].

To butcher a simple animal, hit the carcass with your blade on harm intent. Monkeys count as simple animal, and this is how you get the most meat. Humanoids such as, well, humans, cannot be butchered with just a knife, thought they can be dismembered. Cutting off and dismembering a head lets you harvest the brain, while dismembering the torso lets you harvest organs such as heart, appendix and lungs. To get meat from a person, you will need to put them in the [[Machines#Gibber|gibber]], the machine in the freezer room. Do this by undressing them, grabbing them aggressively with grab intent, and then clicking the gibber. Then click the gibber again to activate it. Gibbing a humanoid in such a fashion results in meat and skin, and while monkeys can be "harvested" like this you should really use the knife, unless you want the skins for a monkey costume. 

There are many types of meat, and only some of them are listed below.

===[[File:Microwave.png|64px]] Microwave Oven===
The microwave oven is used to cook or boil raw ingredients. You can load multiple of them in the oven and cook them simultaneously. Use a kitchen tray to load it faster.

Trying to cook uncookable food will return a burned mess and will make the oven dirtier (which increases chances of failure).

In case of a failure, just use Space Cleaner or Soap on it and remove the burned mess inside.

==Hunger==
As you walk and move about on station, your starting nutrition bar will start to drain from starting green, down to dark red. The effects of obesity and hunger are inversely bad of each other, and it is best to keep yourself reasonably fed with food or drinks, else you will suffer one of the two extremes.

[[File:hungerlevels.gif]]
The six hunger levels are Starving, Hungry, Fed, Well Fed, Full and Fat. The only bad levels are Starving, Hungry and Fat.
Currently, you won't see your nutrition bar unless you are hungry or fat.

Note that nutrition is typically slow-release, so if you don't fill up immediately, you will in the near future. Listen to your stomach messages when eating, don't eat if your body is unwilling.

===Starvation===
If you drop to dark red, you move very slowly and your description reveals your lack of eating habits. You are starving, this is not good! You won't die, but you will move slowly until you eat some food, so head to the [[Kitchen]] for a burger or slice of meatbread!

===Obesity===
A troubling problem for all station goers who enjoy food too much, without working off the calories they consumed. You grow pudgy and move slowly, though not as slow as a starving person. You will only become fat once your food has had time to digest, this becomes a problem if you are say, working on the [[solars]]. By getting enough exercise, you can work off those pounds, but [[Surgery#Lipoplasty|surgery]] or using [[Guide_to_chemistry#lipocide|lipocide]] is faster. Note that you can also become fat from drinking too much.

When one is fat, eating the mint or ingesting [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mint_Toxin|mint toxin]] (from grinding the mint) will gib them.

===Satiety===
Eating healthy food and being well fed can make your organism temporarily stronger against viruses and toxic reagents that get into your body. Being hungry will make you metabolize both [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|good]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Toxins|bad]] reagents slower, for a higher total effect.
On the other hand, eating junk food will satiate your hunger for a while but it will make you want food again faster, and eating too much of them can make you a bit jittery.

===Breakfast===
Some food and drink types will give a positive moodlet for 10 minutes if consumed within 15 minutes of the start of the shift. These are:
*most egg based foods
*coffee
*bacon
*oatmeal
*orange juice
*milk
*pancakes
*waffles
*donuts
*toasts
*biscuits
*cereal

Guide to Munitions

2020-04-30T19:32:02Z

Cenrus: gauss

Welcome to the place where things go boom. Hopefully not boom inside the ship, as boom inside the ship leads to doom from the tip... of the brass...? Uh, guide! Yes, guide. Here is guide.

==Loading things==
As a Munitions Technician or Master At Arms, your job is to supply the various weapons on the ship with the ammo they need to continue firing. This includes the point defence cannon (PDC), the railgun, and the torpedo tubes. The faster you do this, the better, as it reduces the strain on everyone else, since they don't have to worry about the ship disappearing from underneath them.

[[File:Hammerhead_Munitions_Bay.png|right|thumb|The munitions bay as it is at the start of the round.]]

===Point Defense Cannons===
The PDC loading racks are located to the north of the munitions bay and are indicated by white squares where you would stand to load them. They require ammo from the PDC ammo crates, which are coloured yellow and red. To load the racks, you simply grab some ammo and stuff it in. There are five of these total racks - three up north near the railgun, and two to the west opposite the entrance to the Munitions Bay. Each magazine contains 100 bullets, and bullets are fired in bursts of 3, meaning you don't need to replace these often. Once you do need to replace them, simply click with a full magazine, and you'll swap it out for the empty one.

===Railgun===
This is the great big thing that does great big damage. It uses teflon-coated tungsten rounds, which can be found in two grey boxes in the centre of the Munitions Bay. You can load up to four of these at once before the railgun is full - once it's loaded, go to the console in front of the railgun, click "Load Tray", then "Chamber Tray Payload", and finally "Disengage safeties". You'll have to click all of these in reverse order to re-load the weapon.

===Missile Tubes===
These are the difficult ones to understand, at least until you understand them. They're really quite simple: 
To move torpedoes around, you need a Munitions trolley (one starts next to the railgun at the top) and some torpedoes. Pull the munitions trolley next to a torpedo, then drag the torpedo onto it. Each trolley can carry up to four torpedoes. To load the tubes, pull the trolley next to one of them and unload a torpedo. Drag that torpedo onto the tube, and then go to the console. Click "Load Tray", "Chamber Tray Payload", and "Disengage safeties", and that tube will be ready to fire. To reload a tube, re-engage safeties and repeat the process.

===Gauss Guns===

Gauss guns can be found exclusively on multi-z maps, and fire 300mm teflon coated tungsten rounds. Unlike other ship weaponry, these are not controlled by [[Bridge Staff]] using the tactical console, and are typically manned by Munitions Technicians. To man gauss guns, buckle yourself into the gauss gunner chair and you'll raise into the cockpit above. Gauss guns eat through ammo FAST, and you'll ideally want someone below deck keeping you loaded at all times. Loading tungsten rounds is as simple as placing them in a crate, click dragging it to the loading rack, and sending it up for reloading.

Ammo stocks run dry? Never fear, each gauss gun emplacement comes equipped with a gauss ammunition dispenser, which will periodically deposit a fresh pile of slugs. (These can be upgraded, so complain at science to do their job and upgrade machines)

==We've run out of things==
That's <s>not</s> normal. Don't worry. Depending on the thing, this is easy or somewhat difficult.

===PDC/Railgun/Flak===
This is easy! Just ask for them from cargo. If there is no cargo or they're being idiots, just send yourself directly to cargo via conveyor.

===Torpedoes===
This is less easy. You need multiple things from cargo - components, casings, and warheads (four types - lightweight, standard, armour piercing, and decoy. You cannot get more nuclear warheads, boo hoo.). Once you have all of these, a mechanical toolbox, a cable coil, and a welding helmet, we can start <s>a revolution</s>.

# Get casing
# Add propulsion system.
# Wrench propulsion into place.
# Add guidance system.
# Screwdrive.
# Add IFF card.
# Screwdrive.
# Add warhead.
# Wrench again.
# Wire it.
# Wrench once more.
# Weld it.

==Weapon maintenance==
The torpedo tubes and railguns require maintenance when they're used too much. You probably want to perform maintenance between each bout of combat. 
Note: make sure there's nothing in the weapons and that the safeties are on, to prevent unnecessary explosions.

# Unscrew the maintenance hatch on the primary external casing
# Unbolt (wrench) the internal maintenance panel
# Use a crowbar to carefully lever out the internal panel
# Apply 10 units of Oil to the exposed internal machinery
# Replace (crowbar) and bolt (wrench) the panel, then fix (screwdriver) the hatch back in place

==ok cool what else do i do==
Uh, you repair the [[Guide_to_Fighters|fighters]] after they inevitably break and load them with torpedoes, too. You <s>serve the Fighter Pilots</s> order things from cargo, I guess? 
There's also the Gauss Guns (Enterprise only) if you're bored, just northeast of the fighter bay, which allows you to swap between firing PDCs and firing super-cannons with like 2 bullets apiece.

You'll be kept busy with supplying things for everyone anwyay. Have fun, don't drop the nuclear missiles.

Originally suppose to replace the space ninja, however people didn't like the idea of someone being able to teleport everywhere and having a insta-stunlock rifle that deleted people after some time.

Cenrus: munitions/atc channels

You can speak on a radio channel you have access to by using one of the channel prefixes below. Colons or periods can be used to: '''.m''' or ''':m''' with both talk on the medical channel. Note that the common channel uses a ''';''' prefix.

To see a list of radio channels you can talk on, inspect your headset.

== Radio Channels ==
; Public : ''';''' >> [Public] Test
; AI Private : '''.o''' >> [AI Private] Test
; Air Traffic Control : '''.q''' >> [Air Traffic Control] Test
; Alien Hivemind : '''.a''' >> Alien Queen says, Test
; Changeling Hivemind : ''':g''' >> Mr. Phi says, Test
; Binary : ''':b''' >> ''Robotic Talk, Test''
; Command : ''':c''' >> [Command] Test
; CentCom : ''':y''' >> [CentCom] Test

== Other Communication Codes ==
; {{anchor|Yell}}Yell : (end sentence with '''!!''')
; {{anchor|Whisper}}Whisper : # (kills you if in hardcrit)

; Radio (in your left hand) : :l
; Radio (in your right hand) : :r
; AI Holopad (For AI) : :h

== Radio Frequencies ==

Frequencies are encrypted, so to listen in on a department it's not as easy as using their frequency; you'll need a proper decryption key, which can be obtained by using a screwdriver on a headset which contains it. The AI Private channel is an exception and can be tuned into freely.
