1.8: Basic Starfighters

Use normal combat rules if small numbers of starfighters attack each other. If large numbers attack, use Star Warriors rules, your favorite mass starfighter rules, or treat them as batteries. Add the to-hit/damage modifier as appropriate, remembering to round down. A fighter taking one point of damage is Heavily Damaged, two points is Severely Damaged, three, Destroyed. Ion damage is assessed against the entire squadron as squadron coordination is affected by the blasts.

Starfighters are usually used against other starfighters or for counter-battery attacks. When attacking or being attacked by capital ships, remember to use the scaling rules of your choice.
