How do you guys build the Alta Mesa fighter? Basically just a fighter with torps?

Research the hull pattern then build one in the ship designer. And it is a fighter that can use torpedoes, which is cool because only fighters can be repaired 8 the field and have a 2ap/4 mp reactor

That sounds OP. Fighters are already a staple of a defense fleet. With a couple support carriers, you've got a long range offensive weapon too.

I've started using the Hawke fighter as my go to torpedo platform, with Thulun cutters stomping anything that gets close! Alta Mesa and Thulun make good team:)

No one builds ships like Alta Mesa shipwrights!

The downside to the Alta Mesa fighter is fighters carry less water fuel than other torpedo capable ships

For defense I personally like assult fighters upgraded strike fighters and a carrier. Get up in the Xenos' face and wreck them!
