How to build figthers

You have to research fighter tech first. Before you can research this, you need to get up a level or two in construction tech (in stock).

Once you have figher tech, go to create a unit, and they should be on the list.

Once you have a fighter design, you can build them on any planet since they're classified as units.

Good luck & let me know if this doesn't help.

Fighters in stock are far too overpowered. I don't use them very much because they make the game too easy. Once in a while I build a carrier and some fighters for it just because a fleet should have a carrier.

Anyhow, you should play around and have fun with your fighters until you get bored with them. Then you can do other things. And if you have fighters, your empire is safe. The AI will never defeat you.

If you want to get fighters quickly in a game, research construction at about 8% to 10%, and then when it gets to level 2 research fighters at about 5% to 7%. That should do it. And I think it helps to research small weapons also so you can put better weapons on them.
