The F-18 is a small, fast Fighter found on the Nimitz based from its real life counterpart; The F/A-18 Hornet.

Description

The F-18 is a Fighter exclusive to the Nimitz. It is a small sleek ship that, alongside it's high top speed, has a relatively easy time dodging enemy fire.

Appearance

The F-18's appearance is that of a modern Fighter aircraft with design and shape similar to the F-A/18 Hornet.

The Interior of the fighter is nothing more than a small cockpit containing the pilot's seat.

Advantages

Balanced Shield and Hull firepower.
High Top Speed and small size makes it difficult to hit.
Spawns in fairly high quantities on the Nimitz, up to 11.
Has 90% Drift, like all other Fighters.

Disadvantages

Has low firepower compared to other Fighters.
Can easily be shot down by AA ships.
Extremely high cost to have all fighters in use at once.

Strategy

Swarm the enemy with your 11 fighters on the Nimitz. Even a Super Capital Ship may retreat from your swarm.
Focus on swarming and destroying AA Ships like the Ampharos or Hyron first, as they will shred you if left alone.
Use the ship's high maneuverability to get into the blind spots of larger ships.

Version History

Added in an unknown Version.
Replaced the Foxfire due to the model being reverted in Version .75a5

Trivia

One of, if not, the only Fighter class ship that has its appearance fit the ship category's namesake its in.
