I like a mixture, depends on the situation, how many warps are connected to a particular sector, and whether of not there's a port.
a mix of def and off is good too.
But, I'm old school, I grid manually so I can make the call.

So what is the best density? 1 fighter per sector allows you to cover the most area with the least amount of fighters. 8 figs has the same density as a ship. 20 figs has the same density as a port. You could also use a combination of fighters and/or armid mines to match these densities. |

Best gridded sector will have a fighter, defensive please, and at least one limpet. An armid mine is nice too, but not a deal breaker. You've spent the time/turns/effort entering and taking the sector, if you want to keep it you'd better invest a little. |

Quote: a mix of def and off is good too. Reason I don't like Offensive fighters, they don't wait around for you to warp to 'em...they attack and die. Now they do mention their passing in the daily's...so it would be a good way to get an offline corpie to come back in to defend the grid if they were, say, trolling the dailies waiting for a 'hit.' This kinda depends on real time updating of the logs being available to out-of-game players... Toll fighters are a trap waiting to happen, I can't count the number of times I've paid the toll and then laid 250 armids and a couple of limpets. Make sure there is a fighter next door and wait for the fun... |

Then Off figs destroys the ship, mines kill the pod. Nice little trap.  I refer to these as my Ninja Figs! They kill while I sleep.

Let the other guy waste money blocking port reports. I don't grid. |

Quote: I don't grid. By not gridding, you make those areas you do have fighters much more significant to a person seeking a close encounter. By not gridding, you give more power to those who do. In short order, you'll be probed, found and rendered irrelevant. |

Sure it's a measly fee to put that one fighter down but if you are at your home base and someone hit's that fig ka pow. Drop a planet or do a photon on them and there toast. Nevermind I forgot who I was talking to
