Type-10 Defender

2018-03-13T18:58:15Z

172.115.92.57: /* Overview */ Corrected language which suggests the Type 10 still had the same cargo space as the Type 9. This changed with a recent buff to the Type 9, giving it an additional C8 compartment.

{{quote|The Type-10 Defender is the result of collaboration between the Alliance and Lakon Spaceways. With the threat of xeno-war looming, the Alliance's naval arm saw the urgent need for a weapons platform capable of withstanding heavy, sustained attack. Utilising a reinforced Type-9 chassis as a starting point, Lakon overhauled and geared every aspect of the design for combat, producing a military behemoth that could be produced in volume at short notice.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-10 Defender''' is a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship that represents a comprehensive revision of the [[Type-9 Heavy]]. The [[Alliance]] commissioned Lakon to build the Type-10 to combat the escalating [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] threat following a series of [[Thargoids#Station attacks and Medusae|attacks]] against [[Station]]s in the [[Pleiades Nebula]]. Announced on December 17, 3303, Lakon committed to an aggressive production schedule that delivered the Type-10 in volume to retailers the following week.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a33f0d7c8717065ab310fde Galactic News: Lakon Announces New Ship]</ref> Lakon intended the Type-10 to be "particularly effective in combat situations".<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a3be4794b55be3e304a16b2 Galactic News: Type-10 Defender Now Available]</ref>

==Overview==
Like the Type-9 Heavy it was based on, the Type-10 Defender is a slow, bulky ship, but substantial modifications to the design give it more versatility. The Type-10 is not only somewhat faster than the Type-9, but has stronger armour, better heat management, double the utility slots, four added large weapon hardpoints, and two Military Compartments, making it a viable warship. The Type-10 retains the Type-9's compatibility with [[Multicrew]] and ability to mount a [[Fighter Hangar]].

Notably, despite the Type-10's focus on combat-readiness, it also retains the same overall cargo capacity as the Type-9's original design, allowing it to be configured into a well-protected heavy trader. However, due to the wide spacing of the weapon slots, gimballed or turreted weapons are recommended.

The Type-10 also features mobile structural elements, like the [[Diamondback Explorer]]. The ship's small wings are extended during flight, but will fold up when landing gear is deployed.

*The Type-10 Defender's existence was accidentally revealed on August 17, 2017, in an in-game list of [[Multicrew]]-capable ships.<ref>[https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/843716738480807053/C532017E9DDC079D334B6CA41B3ECE48CFFD0175/ Steam User Images: Screenshot of the new Multicrew tab, with a list of Multicrew-capable ships, in the Comms menu as seen in the 2.4 beta]</ref> It was immediately speculated to be a renamed [[Panther Clipper]], a heavy cargo ship which had been expected for years and hinted at in concept art for [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]], but this was debunked by Frontier Developments.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/371162-Type-10-Defender-new-ship-(not-yet-purchasable)?p=5832400&viewfull=1#post5832400 Frontier Forums: Type-10 Defender, new ship (not yet purchasable)]</ref> Frontier subsequently teased an unidentified new ship that was assumed to be the Type-10 in a trailer for upcoming 2.4 content at [[Frontier Expo]] 2017, but it was not until December 15, 2017 that the ship was officially announced via the weekly Elite Dangerous Newsletter.<ref name="N205">[http://email-frontier.co.uk/t/3F35-LT78-EC33OUQFC5/cr.aspx Elite Dangerous Newsletter #205 (December 15, 2017)]</ref> The Type-10 was finally made available in-game on December 20, 2017 as part of update 2.4, [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons#The Return - v2.4|The Return]].

{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is Lakon Spaceway's specialist combat explorer vessel. Unlike its bigger brother Asp, the Diamondback isn't suited as an all rounder vessel. It is popular with elite recon and pathfinder units with navies throughout human space. Its relatively low cost also makes it a popular choice with independent pilots who appreciate its combat and exploration potential.|In-game description}}
The '''Diamondback Scout''' is a long range combat and reconnaissance [[ships|ship]] which was released in the [[Powerplay]] update.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 1 small hardpoint on each side of the cockpit, and 1 medium hardpoint on each side of the cockpit for a total of 2 medium and 2 small. These hardpoints have their aim points arranged in a straight horizontal line with little space between reticule dots making them very usable with fixed mounts. However their side mounting and close spacing also make good mounts for gimbaled and turreted weapons.

This ship has animated engine pods that shift position and tilt when landing gear are deployed as well as a radiator panel on the top surface that opens when landing gear are deployed.

The ship has a relatively low heat output, great speed and manoeuvrability and is a popular choice for shieldless stealth builds.

== History ==
{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is [[Lakon Spaceways]]’ attempt to repeat the success of the [[Asp]] range at a medium price point. The result was a combat capable ship with good jump capability and was pitched as a light long range reconnaissance ship. After the ship’s maiden flight it was criticized for not having the same versatility as the Asp, but it has seen modest success in the long range reconnaissance, long range interceptor and fast picket ship roles for organisations not able or willing to invest in the heavy price tag of the Asp.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=347cbf826e Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #77]</ref>|In-game history}}
