This is so good! I hadn't used fighters until recently so I had been wondering if there were easy ways to monitor their status and figure out when to redeploy them. This looks like it'll take care of that. Can't wait to try it out. The damage nerf is disappointing so hopefully it's not too tough for them to make rank 2.
You buy it from the fleet starbase tailor, but you can have someone else invite you to their starbase if you don't have the tailor unlocked. You do need to be in a fleet though, since it costs 8,000 fleet credit (plus 16,000 dilithium).
