How are you alive: Added internal component damage descriptions.

Benbot16: /* Make torp fighter */ Added what you need for fighters. Might be missing some stuff, though. Still need to add where you actually get each part.

 Use the aircraft tugs in the [[Hangar Bay]] to carry the fighters to the magnetic constrictors; if you're not sure where those are, ask the ATCs. Make sure the Pilots actually acknowledge your existence. They will try their hardest to fuck everything up, and you and the MaA are the only things that can (maybe) stop them.

-On the rare occasion that a Pilot survived multiple shots, or the much less rare occasion where they didn't use a tug (and dragged their fighter across the floor), you'll have to repair their ship for them. Repairing ships is done in one of two ways: lighter external damage can be repaired simply by welding the holes on the fighter; heavier internal damage requires you to open the maintenance panel by wrenching and crowbarring it, then welding to fix it.

-Sometimes, internal components will be damaged when a fighter is shot at/crashes into a wall/drags its tail across the ship. These can be identified by the pilot complaining of <s>an annoying loud beeping</s> a master caution. They can also be identified by various ship systems not responding to the pilot. They show up in the maintenance panel with a prefix (such as 'charred' or 'singed). These must be removed and replaced with functioning parts, or the fighter will be less than combat capable. In some cases, such as with APU damage, the fighter might not even be able to start.
+Sometimes, however, internal components will also be damaged when a fighter is shot at/crashes into a wall/drags its tail across the ship. These can be identified by the pilot complaining of <s>an annoying loud beeping</s> a master caution light. They can also be identified by various ship systems not responding to the pilot. They show up in the maintenance panel with a prefix (such as 'charred' or 'singed), and when examined they will look less than functional. These must be removed and replaced with functioning parts, or the fighter will be less than combat capable. In some cases, such as with APU damage, the fighter might not even be able to start.
 To refuel a fighter simply drag a tyrossene tank next to a fighter, take the hose out and pump the fuel into the fighter's tank. Ensure the fighter's engines are off so you don't accidentally blow yourself up.
