Ships and fighters: fly out, fly home.

There are 50 fighters in the game. Here is how they work with your mothership.

Fighters

  • There are 50 fighters: 6 are free and the rest are in the Store. Paid Store items are closed during the alpha.
  • They are sidegrades, each with its own strengths. No fighter is simply the best.
  • A fighter you launch keeps its mothership when you save, load or play online.

Finding your mothership

  • A marker on screen and an arrow at the edge point to your mothership, with the distance.
  • She also shows as a blip on the radar.
  • You get warnings if you stray too far.

Return to Ship

Press R (or the Home button on a phone) to start the autopilot that flies you back to your mothership.

The big race, the Outer Run, is built around fighters.
