'''Shipwrecks''' are static and persistent locations that can be found on planetary surfaces and in space. Unlike [[Points of Interest]], these locations can't be found from a Point of Interest or an [[SRV]] [[Wave Scanner]]. Instead they are static and located on specific planetary locations. These locations are far between which makes them rare.

Shipwrecks in space may include [[Capital Ships|capital ships]] and dozens of faction [[ships]] that were attacked by [[Thargoids]]. These sites can have [[Occupied Escape Pod|occupied escape pods]] and other miscellaneous [[materials]]. However, they are not without risk as some contain 2-4 [[Thargoid Interceptor|Thargoid Interceptors]].

Rarely, the location of a Shipwreck may be indicated by a message received from an unknown source, titled "Tip Off". The message will contain full details on the wreck's location - system, planet, and longitude/latitude. These shipwrecks will have data cores that can be scanned with an [[SRV]] [[Data Link Scanner]] to provide credit payouts (several hundred thousand, potentially upwards of 1 million) alongside miscellaneous scattered cargo canisters and possibly other items, but the data core can only be scanned if you possess a single-use key issued with the initial mail.

{{quote|The Type-9 Heavy is Lakon Spaceways' large freighter class. This ship is built to transport large cargos, a job it does very well, but it doesn't stand up well in a fight, although adding a fighter bay improves its combat capability considerably - in the right hands!|In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-9 Heavy''' is a heavy freighter and the largest of the five freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. It has the second largest maximum cargo capacity of any ship available, behind only the [[Imperial Cutter]], but can be purchased at a fraction of the Cutter's cost and does not require any [[Empire/Ranks|rank]]. Although generally lacking in offensive and defensive capabilities, the Type-9 is a bulky yet capable ship best suited for trading or mining.

==Overview==
The pilot's station is located in the front center of the ship's canopy, with two co-pilot seats below the pilot on either side parallel to each other. The canopy has one of the largest views in the game with a near 180° view of the outside, with some visibility even below the ship and directly above; which can be quite useful in various situations and is especially helpful for VR players.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: two class 2 hardpoints situated on top of the ship and one more on the bottom of the ship making them excellent for turreted mounts, and two class 1 hardpoints situated on either side of the canopy, identically to the [[Type-7 Transporter|Type-7]]. Two of the utility mounts are on top of the ship, near the hardpoints while the other two at the back; below the ship.

The Type-9 shares the worst maneuverability in the game with the [[Type-10 Defender]], and also has one of the lowest base speeds. Combined with its large size the ship has extreme difficulty in shaking smaller [[ships]] from its blind spot and evading enemy fire (using a [[Fighter Hangar]] could help mitigate this). It has five weapon [[hardpoint]]s to defend itself. Equipped with medium sized turrets, they can force enemy ships to operate with caution and give the Type-9 a chance to escape. Unlike its lower-tier options in the [[Type-6 Transporter|Type-6]] and [[Type-7 Transporter|Type-7]] the ship is better at defending itself and can often take care of small and medium ships making trading far less risky and often more profitable as it can often deal with the incoming enemy events, gaining bigger payouts. However, the low maneuverability makes avoiding [[interdiction]]s almost impossible, so keep in mind you'll often be forced to fight incoming ships, which can be problematic for time-sensitive missions; or for simply maximizing profit per hour. It also makes normal supply mission a death sentence, since you will be unable to dodge the incoming powerful foes, and they can easily defeat a T-9.

As a trading ship, the T-9 has the second best cargo capacity behind only the [[Imperial Cutter]]. However, this is only a difference of 4T of cargo. Furthermore, the T-9 can downgrade to a class 5 [[Shield Generator]], while the cutter can only equip a minimum of class 6. Thus if wishing to trade with a shield, the T-9 has the best cargo space in the game. Because of the Cutter's very high repair and rebuy prices and the Type-9's interdiction vulnerability, going shieldless in either case is not recommended.

The Type-9 has actually seen some niche use as a combat vessel. Although its low number of [[hardpoints]] makes its offensive damage lacking; when [[Engineers|engineered]] and turreted they can deal decent damage. The biggest advantage the ship has is its dual Class 8 compartments which allow both a max level [[Shield Generator]] and [[Shield Cell Bank]]; which can often make taking the ship down difficult without engineering. However, while this is possible on paper the issue is that having both cell banks and a shield generator; along with [[Shield Booster]]s is rather difficult with the ship's [[Power Plant]]. Engineering or a [[Guardian Hybrid Power Plant]], as well as power management, are mandatory for this strategy to function. Because of the low number of hardpoints and low speed, the weapons and engines will draw less power, meaning there is more power for systems. Furthermore, this makes it advisable to upgrade the system's capacity with engineering for the power distributor.

Its four utility slots are good for [[Shield Booster]]s and can help with a lower grade of shield. [[Chaff Launcher]]s are not advisable, as the ship is often too large and slow of a target for them to be effective. [[Point Defence Turret|Point-Defence Turrets]] also don't work too well as the large body will cut off half of the turrets range and the low maneuverability will make it impossible to face the turret in the right direction in time; thus an [[Electronic Countermeasure|ECM]] would be a better fit for the T-9.

Another upside is its low cost means NPC [[pirates]] will generally fly similarly priced ships, usually flying [[Cobra]]s or [[Viper]]s and will rarely fly [[Fer-de-Lance]]s or [[Alliance Chieftain]]s etc; which can all be outclassed unless upgraded by the Type-9. In open play this strategy also functions well as few players would expect a heavy freighter to exhibit offensive powers, they can be given a nasty shock if they were expecting an easy mark. It doesn't function well as a [[bounty hunter]] or [[Pirate]], however, as its poor maneuverability and speed make [[Interdiction|interdictions]] difficult to perform, as well as its slow speed making it very difficult to catch up to ships.

Many pilots have problems fitting through the entrance of [[Station]]s while they're first getting used to the Type-9, and it can, therefore, be expensive for a new pilot to get used to. A [[Standard Docking Computer]] can be useful for players who have trouble docking this ship, and it will usually dock the ship no slower than a normal player can, unlike other ships. It will also prevent [[Bounty|Bounties/Fines]] from hitting other ships, which is quite hard to avoid in a T-9 even for veterans. It should also be noted that the Type-9 Heavy has better maneuverability when stopped; even though it isn't very useful in combat, it's handy for docking.

The Type-9 first appeared in the development diary videos and in some of the live streams done by [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]]. Later it appeared in the early Alpha stages and is one of the four ships that were in the first release of the Premium Beta.

On December 20, 3303, Lakon Spaceways released a revised model of the Type-9 known as the [[Type-10 Defender]], which was commissioned by the [[Alliance]] to help counter the [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] threat. The Type-10 improves upon the Type-9's features by adding various combat-oriented improvements while sacrificing some cargo capacity.

{{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. The Vulture excels in the role of heavy fighter in strike missions against larger, well defended targets, 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]] manufactured by [[Core Dynamics]]. Featuring two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture packs serious firepower into a relatively small frame and excels at combat, but has difficulty adapting to other roles. Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, its one of the most maneuverable ships on the market thanks to its powerful lateral thrusters relative to the ship's mass, only being out-turned by smaller, less well-armed ships.

==Overview==
In combat, the Vulture is one of the most powerful small-sized ships. It is capable of easily staying out of the firing range of tougher ships like [[Anaconda]]s or [[Python]]s and its two large hardpoints are capable of dishing out heavy damage. However, the small number of hardpoints means weapons such as [[Missile Rack|Missiles]], [[Mine Launcher|Mines]], [[Torpedo Pylon|Torpedoes]] or [[Railgun]]s are not viable as they have limited ammo capacities and are not available in Class 3. As for weapon mount types, both fixed and gimballed mounts are viable due to the Vulture's nimble nature, but turreted mounts are inadvisable due to their higher power consumption, lower damage and that they don't take advantage of the Vulture's manoeuvrability.

Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It possesses the highest base shield and armor hitpoints out of all small sized ships; it has very good internal compartments (even better than the much more expensive [[Fer-de-Lance]]); and its number of utility mounts is 4, the same as larger ships such as [[Python]] and [[Federal Gunship]]. However, there is a catch, as the Vulture is held back by its limited power capacity. This greatly limits viable loadout choices and encourages smart [[module priority control]].

The Vulture suffers from overspecialization and is very poor in any job besides bounty hunting and assassination. It has terrible cargo capacity, even for its size so it will do very poorly in any form of trading or mining but most importantly it functions very poorly as a pirate as it has very low space for plundered loot, especially when a [[Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller]] is installed, however, its small size makes collecting cargo easier, meaning collector limpets are not needed. It has awful jump range at a woeful maximum of 22.36 ly without engineering, the second lowest of any small sized ship making it not only useless as an explorer, it can't easily get to [[Interstellar Factors]] to clear any bounties. Unlike the [[Fer-de-Lance]] it does very poorly as an anti-[[Thargoid]] ship, as its low number of hardpoints limits its use of Ax weaponry, leaving it without many options to deal with Interceptors. Against Scouts it also suffers as it will struggle to keep a sightline on the quick moving ships; since it cannot make much use of turreted mounts and they will quickly tear the ship to pieces.

Overall the Vulture functions as a small [[Fer-de-Lance]]; unbeaten in sheer power for its size but is one of the worst ships in any other role. Because it is so limited to [[Bounty Hunting]] it has very few options and makes a poor single vessel for a commander to fly and the [[Asp Explorer]] or [[Keelback]] may be more appealing due to their multi-purpose ability.

The Vulture's two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hull of the ship. Due to the spacing between the hardpoints, a loadout of two fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets.

The Vulture has two manned stations. The pilot's station is on the centerline of the ship. The auxiliary station is offset to the port side above and behind the pilot's station. Because turreted mounts are a very bad idea on a Vulture and it has no fighter bay it is one of the least useful ships for [[Multicrew]].

The Vulture has an available 16 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/vulture-ship-kit-16-pieces.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.

{{Quote|This is Lakon Spaceways' new combat trader-class vessel, designed for hostile-environment deliveries and light support duties. It is based on the Type-6 frame but with extra weapon hardpoints. It has a reduced cargo capacity to support a higher class of powerplant, and can even accommodate a fighter bay. Its durability is improved by better defence capabilities for armour and shields. Its similar silhouette to the Type 6 makes it a suitable vessel for commerce raiding or convoy protection.|In-game description}}
The '''Keelback''' is a freighter ship with enhanced combat capabilities based on a Type-6 Transporter chassis. It debuted in the 1.5 "Ships" update on December 2015. It was first mentioned in a list from the ''Answers from the Devs'' where it said it is an upcoming ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898&page=3&p=2952777#post2952777 Answers from the Devs 15/10/15]</ref>

As this had never been heard of, people speculated that it was an alternative name to the [[Panther Clipper]]. However, on a stream David Braben revealed that it is a ship similar to the Lakon [[Type-6 Transporter]], but with better weapon hardpoints.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdP1DmRYco8&t=32m22s Elite Dangerous - On the Horizon Episode 4 - Q&A with David Braben 6PM GMT - 04/11/2015 ]</ref> It also has a better power plant at the cost of fewer internal compartments.
==Overview==
The Keelback is advertised as a well-armed trader; being able to haul large cargos without the need of an escort, similar to the [[Type-9]], and particularly similar to the [[Type-10 Defender|Type-10]].

Like the [[Type-10 Defender|Type-10]] the Keelback sacrifices cargo space to improve combat effectiveness; though not nearly to the same degree. In comparison to the [[Type-6]], the Keelback has 16T less potential cargo space, a rather large amount in the early game. Combined with its higher cost, lower jump range, higher rebuy and generating tougher NPC pirates, the Keelback is not as good of a trader as the cheaper Type-6, but it is more than capable and is still the second best ship at the role in the price range and much cheaper than the [[Federal Dropship]] or [[Python]] as an armed medium trader.

In combat, the Keelback retains the 2 Hardpoints of its base model and now has two additional medium hardpoints as well. While this is a large improvement; the type-6 has the same damage output as a [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]], so the comparison is rather irrelevant. Compared to ships of its price range, such as [[Viper]]s, [[Asp Scout]]s, and [[Diamondback]]s, the Keelback has the lowest damage output of the range. It can easily be out-damaged by most ships in its price tier and only has marginally better shielding and armour. However, the Keelback makes up for this with its ability to mount a [[Fighter Hanger]]. With combined firepower of itself and its fighter the Keelback can easily out-damage all ships in its price range, however, this does mean losing a huge amount of cargo space for both Hanger and [[Shield Generator]]. The rather poor maneuverability and speeds make the Keelback ineffective at [[Supercruise]] interdicting. All in all the Keelback can make for a good [[Pirate]] or [[Bounty Hunter]] for a commander looking to utilise fighters and has good cargo space for plundered loot.

As an explorer, the Keelback has less range than the Type-6, due to its higher weight. Combined with worse compartment space, the Keelback is a slightly worse ship in the role than the Type-6.

The Keelback has one role it shines in; as a [[Miner]]. With its two medium hardpoints, large cargo space, fighter bay for protection and smaller size the Keelback is one of the best ships available for the job and is by far the cheapest ship that is extremely effective in the role. Due to its small size, many rich pilots can still make good use of the ship for its impressive mining potential. Because fighter hangers make for great protection for a miner, it may even be more appealing than ships such as the [[Asp Explorer]] or [[Federal Dropship]].

Overall the Keelback is a multi-purpose ship, capable of exploration, combat and trading while excelling at mining. Compared to similar ships such as the [[Asp Scout]] the ship generally does a much better job but has a much lower jump range. The Keelback is a good option for its price range for a multi-purpose ship.

Two medium hardpoints are located on top of the ship, very close to the cockpit, and two small hardpoints are located on the bottom of the ship a bit further back than the medium hardpoints. One of three utility mounts is located on the nose of the ship directly above the frontal landing gear piece, and two more on top and at the back. The interior is identical to that of the Type-6, however, it has a second seat situated behind the pilot and is capable of [[Multicrew]]. The ship also has unique rotating engine pods on each side that fill in the black gaps that were present on the T6. These are purely cosmetic, however.

The Keelback has an available 12 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/keelback-ship-kit.html Frontier store], allowing you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay in any way.

{{quote|Lakon Spaceways is famous for building dependable, jump-capable transport vessels. The Type-6 Transporter is their smallest commercially available model. It has limited combat capability, but is capable of transporting decent-sized loads for its size class.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-6 Transporter''', one of four freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]], is mainly used for trading and hauling [[commodities]] throughout the galaxy. This ship has a medium [[Landing Pad|landing pad]] size and, unlike both of Lakon's larger trading vessels, may still dock at [[Outpost]]s. Due to the poor armour and manoeuvrability it is not suited for combat and it is advisable that [[Trader|traders]] avoid entering any combat situation without an escort or upgrading shields and or hull.

==Overview==

The Type-6 Transporter is an amazing [[trader]] and is considered the next step up from the multipurpose [[Cobra MkIII]]. When fitted for maximum cargo capacity, which can reach 112 tons, many traders find that the Type-6 becomes quite suited for trading standard commodities in bulk rather than hauling rare commodities long distances. After upgrading the [[Frame Shift Drive]] to increase its jump range, the Type-6 Transporter can be equally good at hauling commodities long distances.

The Type-6 Transporter has also found a niche as an exploration vessel; when stripped of all unnecessary weight and stocked with an upgraded frame shift drive, the Type-6 Transporter can reach jump ranges just short of the [[Asp Explorer]] at a much lower cost, though it is significantly less capable of defending itself than an Asp Explorer should it encounter a hostile vessel. It is still almost three times more expensive than the [[Cobra MkIII|Cobra MKIII]], which can also be used for exploration. Because of its high Compartment count, it is capable of holding more fuel and a bigger fuel scoop and is better at Passenger missions.

In combat, the Type-6 is second only to the Hauler as the worst ship in the role. It has the same hardpoints as the [[Sidewinder]] but has much lower mobility and thus cannot evade fire or keep its fixed hardpoints on a target nearly as well and also attracts much more dangerous vessels than the [[Sidewinder]] would. Its low maneuverability also makes it more vulnerable to being Interdicted. Its advantage is it can be quite hardy, its shields and armour are rather good for its price so it can often take hits, though this requires lowering the cargo capacity. The Type-6 has a deceptively low Mass Lock factor of 8, meaning most ships can mass lock it. Jumping to another system to flee combat is advised due to this, as mass-locking will not occur. If one wishes to take down oncoming enemy pirates while still making some profit from trade the [[Keelback]] is a much better option.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: Two bottom mounted Class 1 small hardpoints mounted one on each side of the ship, separated by a central ridge.

The Type-6 has an available 12 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/type-6-ship-kit.html Frontier store], allowing you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay in any way.

==Notes==
* Prior to v1.2, the Type-6 had a tendency to overheat, to 100% or greater, making fuel scooping and consecutive hyperspace jumps more risky unless an A-rated power plant was also used (reducing the average maximum heat to 95%). This was especially dangerous because the cargo hatch module tends to take a lot of heat damage which can lead to a malfunction causing cargo to jettison. As of v1.2, this tendency has been corrected and the ship now runs much cooler, making it less likely to suffer heat damage.
