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, but as a consequence it has difficulty adapting to roles other than combat. Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, it is very maneuverable thanks to its powerful lateral thrusters.

==Overview==
In combat, the Vulture is a powerful small-sized ship. 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 fairly heavy damage. Moreover, since class 3 weapons don't suffer damage reduction against large sized ships, unlike classes 1 and 2, the Vulture can be seen as an anti-large-ship specialist. However, the low 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 all available in Class 3. This limits the Vulture to only conventional weaponry. As for weapon mount types, both fixed and gimballed mounts are viable, but turreted mounts are inadvisable due to their higher power consumption, lower damage and that they don't take advantage of the Vulture's agility.

Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It possesses the highest base shield and armour strengths out of all small sized ships, it has very good internal compartments, and it has four utility mounts, the same as larger ships such as [[Python]] and [[Federal Gunship]]. The Vulture's biggest defensive drawback is its limited power capacity, however, and this greatly limits viable loadout choices and requires smart [[module priority control]].

Another disadvantage of the Vulture is its speed, which is lower than most other small sized ships and even some medium sized ships. This makes it a struggle to catch up to targets and keep under fire. The Vulture's deficient speed is mitigated by formidable manoeuvrability, which is second only to the [[Eagle MkII]].

The Vulture suffers from overspecialization and is very poor in any job besides combat. 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. Its cargo capacity is much lower than other ships near its price range, so it will do very poorly in any form of trading, mining or pirating. However, its agility 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 cannot easily get to [[Interstellar Factors]] to clear any bounties.

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. Since 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''' 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. Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, it is very maneuverable thanks to its powerful lateral thrusters relative to the ship's mass.

==Overview==
In combat, the Vulture is a powerful small-sized ship. 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 fairly heavy damage. However, the low 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 all available in Class 3. This limits the Vulture to only conventional weaponry. The Vulture also has a lower damage output than many ships in the same price range, outdone in this regard by even the [[Adder]]. As for weapon mount types, both fixed and gimballed mounts are viable, but turreted mounts are inadvisable due to their higher power consumption, lower damage and that they don't take advantage of the Vulture's agility.

Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It possesses the highest base shield and armour 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]].

A rather large disadvantage of the Vulture is its speed, which is lower than most other small sized ships and even some medium sized ships. This makes it struggle at catching up to targets. This speed is mitigated by its powerful manoeuvrability, which is the second highest of all ships (not including the [[Ship-Launched Fighters|SLFs]]), after the [[Eagle MkII|Eagle]] (the rating of 5 in the in-game stat sheet is incorrect).

The Vulture suffers from overspecialization and is very poor in any job besides combat. 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. Its cargo capacity is much lower than other ships near its price range, so it will do very poorly in any form of trading, mining or pirating. However, its agility 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.

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.

{{UpdateMe}}

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space and perform a variety of different tasks between traversing. As with previous Elite games, there are a variety of designs.

Currently there are 31 ships (29 in the base game and 2 in CQC), built by a number of manufacturers - each having its own unique style. Initially it was planned to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[Trader|traders]], [[Smuggler|smugglers]], [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], [[Pirate|pirates]], etc. Of the unreleased ships, every ship listed as upcoming is already represented in game data. Every ship in the speculated ships column is something we have concept art for or developer comments, but is not currently present in the game data.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder MkI]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs and available funds. New ships can only be purchased at [[Station]]s with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multipurpose===
Multipurpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, ship-to-ship combat, or exploring the [[stars]], multipurpose ships can do it all. Multipurpose ships can do any job just as well if not better than the ships targeted towards those jobs.

===Combat===
Combat ships are usually faster, more agile and more heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and should be fitted with lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]] to optimize jump distance. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refuelling through the use of [[Fuel Scoop]]s.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant space-limousines. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell banks]], scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armour piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Imperial Cutter]] - Civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Imperial Fighter]] - Imperial Fighter
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the [[Empire]] they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller [[factions]], organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp MkII (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Asp Explorer''' has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game and thus is quite good for use as an exploration ship. It has six weapon [[hardpoint]]s and has a good turning radius for its size which makes the Asp good for more than just exploration. The Asp can act as a heavy-duty bounty hunting vessel due to its superb weapon capacity and good manoeuvrability for its size. [[Pirate]]s can also use the Asp to great effect because of the ample cargo capacity, heavy armament, long jump range and large mass (allowing it to charge its own [[Frame Shift Drive]] with minimal mass disruption while also mass disrupting the frame shift drive of most [[ships]]). The Asp Explorer also features a copilot seat located directly under the player's seat, visible while outfitting the ship.

The main downside of this ship is the high initial purchase cost and high maintenance costs. Many roles that the Asp fills can be fulfilled with cheaper ships, though the Asp's performance is typically better than that of the less expensive option. An example would be pirating which can be done in a [[Cobra MkIII]] whose purchase cost is 6.3 million credits less, while still having a moderate cargo capacity and comparable weapon armament. Another example would be trading which can be done in a [[Type-6 Transporter]] that has nearly the same cargo capacity, and costs 5.6 million credits less. A further example would be bounty hunting which can be done better in a [[Vulture]] which is more manoeuvrable and has higher firepower, while costing 1.7 million credits less.

The Asp Explorer can be purchased at a 20% discount at Irkutsk station in the Alliance capital system of [[Alioth]].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=122593 Discounted purchase price forum article]</ref>

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: On each side of the cockpit, 1 medium hardpoint above the waterline and 1 small hardpoint below the waterline (total 2 medium, 2 small), and 2 small hardpoints located directly beneath the cockpit. Due to the shape of the ship and the hardpoint locations, the medium hardpoints and small hardpoints share a small field of fire (i.e mostly directly ahead). Pilots should be aware that Turrets in both Medium Hardpoints will have firing arcs above the cockpit where the pilot can generally see the target that the turrets are shooting at. However, turrets in all four Small Hardpoints will have firing arcs below the cockpit, where the target will tend to be obscured from the pilot's vision by the flight console and the floor.
