I think I need to add some webpage tutorial on the fighter interface.

I was also thinking of providing some tutorial scenarios against a
bot player for human, Phalon, and Kra'Vak technology ships. It'll
allow players to play against dumb ship targets with the various
weapons systems, including fighters.

I think I know the problem:

Fighters receive orders in the movement phase for the ENTIRE turn.
You must declare targets and movement and the pilots will do the rest.

Fighters have no orders capability during the combat phase of the turn.

Does that help?
