The '''Taipan Fighter''' is a fighter included in the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] 2.2 update.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA_FcXnyV5Q Elite Dangerous patch 2.2 - aliens, space stations & more | Gamescom 2016], 2016-08-17</ref> As with the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Imperial Fighter]], the Taipan is a ship-launched fighter that can be deployed from a specialized hangar bay module. Of the three fighters, the Taipan is not as fast as the Condor or as maneuverable as the Imperial, but it does have the most armor and shields.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
Like the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Imperial Fighter]], the Taipan is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility slot, and slightly in the top and boost speed.<br />

{{quote|Signature tracking defence. When deployed, causes gimbal and turret mounted devices to lose lock. Requires Ammunition.|In-Game Description}}<br />
<br />
'''Chaff Launchers''' allow the player to disrupt enemy weapon locks. Very useful in [[combat]] against ships with gimballed or turret weaponry because their [[weapons]] will be unable to track your ship as it manoeuvres due to the chaff disruption. This module can be bound to a specific key so that it can be used quickly and does not need to be in a firegroup.<br />
<br />
==Munitions==<br />
Spent ammunition must be replenished once used. Any [[station]] is equipped with a "Re-arm" service will be able to replenish ammunition. One can also replenish ammunition from the Munitions menu in the Starport Services.<!-- Tested C3 Chaff Launcher Feb 2, 2015--> Chaff costs 30 CR per unit.<br />
