I encountered:
Exception: Error: Ship.addDefenseTarget: Invalid arguments (null) -- expected target.
Active script: fighters-ship 1.3
fighters-ship.js, line 139:
Improbable as it may seem, a fighter can die w/o a ship targetted! I cannot reproduce this as they weren't my fighters. I was waiting to dock when my debug console burped.

Fighters v1.5 is out, featuring a new type:
Robot Fighter.
Available in all stations as a smaller but more costly alternative of the Light Fighter: need only 1t cargo space instead of 5t, but each costs 5000 credits.
Looks like a Tharglet but internally controlled by computers.
A Cobra Mark III can hold up to 15 of them in Fighter Bay, which is a good help against large groups of attackers, at least as chaff.

Swarm Group and Robot Fighter are unmanned, all others using the spacesuit as escape craft for the pilot.
