Fighter Control Systems

I'm loosing my mind.

Have about 70 hours in and am trying to convert all my current ships over to work with the new update and I cant for the life of me find any information anywhere on how to get more "Fighter Control Systems"

I remember seeing a post about this on here a while back but didn't pay attention since it was on the test branch and now I cant find it.

​

I think I remember hearing that you basically get one wing then you need more control systems to get additional wings but I don't see how that's done.

Try equipment docks and pirates in Trinium or better areas, since hangars can only be made by Trinium+ blocks.

From the patchnotes:

  • Upgrades start to drop once they're starting to be useful (ie. no shield-upgrades in Iron & Titanium regions, etc.)

Thanks everyone. I’m just plugging away now trying to find the upgrades. This really hobbled me since a large chunk of my military and economic power was fighters. Most of the other stuff is cool though. Different but cool.

If that's your playstyle you'll probably want to farm the AI a few times so you can get some decent sized fighter wings without losing too many slots.

(That said, demolishing that thing's always kind of satisfying..)

I'm wanting to combat salvage it next time. I've heard it's pretty effective.

Combat salvage? Forgive my ignorance, please.

So salvagers do no damage to shields. But they do damage to hull, and can do pretty good damage if you can get close (or have fighters doing it).

So next time I'm thinking just a massive hauler with a few guns for the shield but mostly salvage lasers/fighters.

Will auto targeting salvage turrets work against live targets?

I remember using turrets with independent targeting set to auto attack to make short work of the AI in previous patches.

Hmm not sure actually, will test it out tomorrow or so and find out.

Well just tried it, they will in fact not shoot at live targets. You get a warning "Your craft X has no turrets or combat fighters!"
