The Imperial Fighter, also known as the Gu-97 Fighter, is the standard Empire small-class single man ship. It is as noted for its high manoeuvrability and firepower as it is for its low shielding and range. It is typically launched as support craft for an imperial cruiser, and is useless on its own if outflanked or outnumbered. It is most commonly seen in conflict zones which include an imperial faction, or patrolling space stations in imperial territory.
The Imperial Fighter is currently accessible in Close Quarters Combat, and was added as a Ship-Launched Fighter alongside the F63 Condor and Taipan Fighter in the Elite Dangerous: Horizons 2.2 update.
Variants
Like the F63 Condor and Taipan, the Imperial Fighter is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility slot.
| Variant | Weapons | Utility | DPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aegis F | 2x fixed pulse laser | Point defence | 44 |
| Rogue F | 2x fixed plasma repeater | Chaff launcher | 36 |
| Gelid G | 2x gimballed beam laser | Heat sink launcher | 25 |
| Rogue G | 2x gimballed pulse laser | Chaff launcher | 12 |
| Gelid F | 2x fixed beam laser | Heat sink launcher | 45 |
Notes
- The Imperial Fighter is not only the most maneuverable of the three Ship-Launched Fighters, it is the most maneuverable ship in the game.
