Fighter Wing

"The Fighter Wing is launched from the Fleet Bay. Its fast ships are equipped with Energy weapons for high burst damage."

General
The Fighter Wing is a starter base squadron, the base counterpart to the Fighter Squadron. Likewise, it could be researched in the Arms Lab.

It dives straight at targets that enter its scramble range. In combat, it looks identical to the Fighter Squadron but has a stronger yellow aura.

Advantages
Fighter Wings are functionally similar to Fighter Squadrons. They outrange all ships that do not have ship squadrons, enabling them to defend against both sniper and blitz fleets. Their range is not so large that destroyers could exploit them by using the wings as bait to fire on other structures that are otherwise out of range.

Fighter Wings are fast, reducing the amount of time under fire before reaching enemy targets. They can also swiftly return to the fight after being destroyed or running out of fuel.

Disadvantages
Similar to the Fighter Squadron, Bomber Squadrons and Interceptor Squadrons directly replace them as they have more health, flight time and range.

Trivia

 * The Fighter Squadron is the fastest and shortest-range base squadron that is obtainable by players.
 * The equipping time of all old blueprint items for bases was reduced by half during the May 2020 update.
