[[M-Bot]] is noted to have superior GravCaps than DDF ships, which can absorb larger g-forces for longer than than the GravCaps used by the DDF. Additionally, M-bot's cockpit is equipped with a mechanism that can adjust the direction of the pilot's seat, reducing the vertical forces on the pilot.{{book ref|sky1|22}}
=== Sensors ===
All fighters are equipped with a sensor system that allows them to monitor their surroundings.
Val-class scouters have a particularly good sensor system, able to work an a longer range and produce more detail than the sensors on other fighters such as the Poco.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
== Weaponry Systems ==
A destructor is an energy beam weapon, and the primary means to shoot down enemy vessels. One destructor burst contains about 30 kus of energy.{{book ref|sky1|23}} One shot of it would be enough to take down a fighter if it hit the right spot, but it can be blocked by force-fields generated by shield igniters. DDF shipboard shields can withstand 80 kus which amounts to about three shots.{{book ref|sky1|23}} The Krell have both superior destructors and shields than those of the DDF and it usually requires six shots to disable the shield of a Krell fighter.{{book ref|sky1|14}} However, DDF ships have two advantages: the [[light-lance]] used for grappling and [[IMP]] that can disable enemy shields.{{expand}}
==== Types ====
Pocos have 138 Stewart destructors, which can generate up to 30 kus of energy.{{book ref|sky1|23}}{{book ref|sky1|41}}
Val-Class scouters have a single 131, which has notably far less firepower than the 138 Stewart.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
=== Inverted Magellan Pulse ===
It is unknown how old the technology is, as both [[M-Bot]] and the DDF fighter ships have this capability.{{book ref|sky1|43}}
== Ship Classes ==
=== Poco ===
A standard form of fighter used by the DDF.
They are equipped with dual 138 Stewart Destructors.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
Their booster is an A19 Model, which allows them to move upward of Mag-10.5.{{book ref|sky1|19}}
=== Val-Class Scouter ===
{{image|DDF_Val-class_Scout_Ship.jpeg|side=left|width=400px}}
Val-Class Scouters are ships intended for scouting and finding Krell which fly under the radar.{{book ref|sky1|41}} They are not intended for combat like other ships, but are made to be able to fight if the moment makes it necessary.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
They are equipped with a single 131 Destructor, with low firepower.{{book ref|sky1|41}} At the same time, they have low armaments, even in comparison to a Poco.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
They have a high-quality sensor installed into them, which are able to function at long-range, and provide a high degree of detail.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
They appear to have sharply angled wings, with a more narrow cockpit and fuselage compared to the Poco.{{file ref|DDF_Val-class_Scout_Ship.jpeg|Val-Class Scouter Art}}
