Launching them is the easiest because space has infinite storage capacity...




Be sure to launch fighters in large Groups (20+ large fighters, 30-40+ small fighters). THe reason why: With a fighter group, you want enough firepower to destroy the biggest ship in a single turn. Otherwise, the fihters can't all get close enough, and they all get chewed up by point defenses.

Organic fighters are the best, because of the available weapons being the most power/space. If you are playing a nonorganic race, consider a shield depleater followed by a real weapon, once the enemy starts using shileds, because the shield depleters will fire first for ALL fighters in the group, then the normal weapon.
