{{quote|The Vulture space superiority fighter sacrifices hardpoint flexibility for manoeuvrability. Advanced manufacturing techniques have allowed the Vulture to integrate large hardpoints into its relatively small frame, offsetting the ship's limited weapon count, but its nimble flight characteristics make it equally devastating against smaller targets. A limited cargo and passenger capability has not stopped it becoming a preferred personal transport for those who like to project a certain attitude in their dealings.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]].

With its two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small frame. Although it lacks top speed compared to other ships, its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, thus allowing for more powerful lateral slides and vertical hops.

The Vulture's main drawback is its limited power capacity given the two large hardpoints and the excessive amounts of utility mounts and internal compartments on offer, which can be counteracted to a degree by smart [[module priority control]] and sacrifices in the loadout choice.

The two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hulk of the ship. They are well suited for any type of [[weapons|weapon]] mount — fixed, gimballed, or turreted — and capable of shooting at targets even slightly underneath the waterline of the hull. Merely fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets like [[Sidewinder]]s, [[Eagle]]s, or [[Hauler]]s.

==Trivia==
*The Vulture was originally priced at 21,925,615 CR. After an outcry from the community that it was way overpriced, Frontier lowered the cost of the Vulture to 4,925,615 CR.

CQC Championship

2015-09-22T07:37:18Z

14.203.175.212: /* Weapons */

{{Upcoming}}
[[File:CQC-Championship.svg|thumb|330px|CQC Championship logotype]]
The '''Close Quarters Combat''', abbreviated as '''CQC''', is an upcoming update in [[Elite: Dangerous]] that brings a separate mode from Open Play and Solo that consists of several competitive modes including 12 player Free-For-All, 6v6 Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. The player will be able to fly the [[Sidewinder]], [[Eagle]] and [[F63 Condor]], unlock modules, [[weapons]] and abilities.<ref name=":0">[https://support.elitedangerous.com/kb/faq.php?id=147 What is the Close Quarters Championship (CQC)?], 2015-06-16 13:53 GMT</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/289d3107159c63abf2b197520776393f8414b579 GalNet News, 16 May 3301]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/215 Dev Update (02/07/2015)]</ref><ref group="nb">GPP period will only support 8 players on beta launch</ref>

The CQC mode is made available by [[Utopixx Entertainment]] which is a Federation owned company and can be accessed through the main menu. It provides a simulation of multiple arenas, modes and upgrades.

CQC will be coming out on Xbox One under the Game Preview Program as a timed exclusive and will be released simultaneously on Xbox one, PC and Mac before the end of 2015.<ref name=":0" /><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=157274&p=2402780&viewfull=1#post2402780 Michael Brookes about CQC Xbox One, PC and Mac release], 2015-06-16, 13:57 GMT</ref>{{Cite}}

== Ranks ==
By participating in CQC matches you gain experience to rank up. As a player levels up they will unlock [[Close Quarters Combat/Ship loadouts|Ship loadouts]], weapons, abilities and internal modules. The max rank is 50.<ref name=":1" />

=== Prestige ===
After reaching max rank 50, the player will be able to reset their ranks back to rank 1 and lose all unlocks in order to get one Prestige ranking. This Prestige rank will increase the amount of credits one can earn after a match and the player will also receive an icon next to their name in both CQC Championship and in the main game mode. Gaining a Prestige rank will give the player a permit to [[CD-4311917/Attilius Orbital|Attilius Orbital]] starport in [[CD-4311917]].<ref name=":1" />

== Icons ==
{{Expand|date = August 4th}}
=== Capture the flag ===
When it comes to Capture the Flag, there are three distinct icons on the scanner that show which teammate has the flag,<ref>[[Media:Friendly-escort.svg|Friendly teammate with flag]]</ref> what enemy pilot has your flag<ref>[[Media:Enemy-flag.svg|Enemy pilot with flag]]</ref> and where the friendly base for your flag is.<ref>[[Media:Friendly-base.svg|Friendly base]]</ref>

== Victory states ==
{{Expand|date = August 28th}}
=== Team conflict ===
Within Team conflict you have to either have more kills than the enemy team when the timer runs out or after your team has reached 3,000 points.

== Arenas ==
On release, there will be two arenas available where the Orbital Junction map will come later on. When it comes to the environment it will contain destructible objects.
* [[Asteria Point]].<ref name=":1">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/263 Dev Update (27/08/2015)]</ref>
* [[Orbital Junction]].<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=767e619118 Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #80]</ref>
* [[Elevate]].<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=e9afe6364d Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #81]</ref>
* [[Cluster Compound]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/222 Peek of the Week | Elite: Dangerous Community site]</ref>
* [[Ice Field]].<ref name=":1" />

== Mechanics ==

=== Targeting ===
Unlike the main game, the target will be lost if obscured by any environmental object (asteroid, station wall, etc.). This will trigger "Target Missing" message and cause weapons to lose lock. However, shall the line of sight be restored, the original target will automatically be locked onto, causing it to appear again on both the HUD and the radar, triggering "Target Acquired" message. Note: you do not have to face the target to reacquire lock.

=== Time limit ===
Each mode and arena has a 15 minute time limit to complete your goals and at the 10, 5 and 1 minute, and 10, 5-1 second marks a notification on the top right UI panel will display with a narrator telling the player how long is left.

=== Playable area ===
If you fly out of the arena bounds, the 20-second self-destruct countdown will start. It does not overheat your ship (unlike the self-desctuct procedure triggered manually from the right-hand panel) and can be aborted by flying back into the arena.

=== Shield recharging ===
Once your shields are down, they will start recharging, draining the energy from the SYS capacitor. Unlike the main game, shields immideately gain 100% strength when recharging is completed (as opposed to 50%).

== Power upgrades ==
{{Main|/Power upgrade/}}
There will be four upgrades available in the arenas. But the upgrades will not necessarily be available on every map. To find a power upgrade on the scanner one should look for grey icon. These indicate it is an upgrade which can be differentiated through its colours, hologram icons and the name when targeting them. When targeting an upgrade, it will show up the name of the upgrade appended by "surge". Furthermore, the power upgrades has a timer that is listed right next to the Power Distributor.

To get an upgrade, one must fly through a circular object that has a hologram in the middle.

List below is what each upgrade is.
;Red: Weapon damage enhancer.
;Blue: Stealth mode that works like [[Silent Running]] without losing [[Shield Generator|shields]] or gaining heat.
;Yellow: Instantly refills your shields and overcharges them by 30%.
;Green: Speed boost that increases top speed.

== Weapons ==
{{Main|/Weapons/}}
There will be a variety of weapons, each of which have their own pros and cons. One of which is an [[Overcharged Beam Laser]] that works like a [[Beam Laser]] but with higher damage at the cost of an increase in heat gain.

== Esports ==
[[Frontier Developments]] has hopes that the CQC Championship will be competitive enough to be considered an esport.{{Cite}}
