Heavy Fighters

Category:Technologies
 is a technology in Starcom: Unknown Space 
Description: Increase our fighters' attack and armor, at the cost of lower top speed.
Research Point Cost: 300 RP
Pre-requisite(s): Fighter Drones, Reinforced Fighters
(spoilers!)
 
Remarks: Mathematically the same penalty to fighter speed as the bonus granted in Fast Attack Fighters. The armor bonus is substantially higher than even Reinforced Fighters, and this is the only technology which grants a bonus to fighter attack. This technology does not appear to penalize evasion, however, whatever the impact on fighter speed, so it should be recommended even at the cost of slower-moving fighters.
