{{quote|The Anaconda is the pride of Faulcon deLacy's ship yards. The design was first manufactured in 2856 by RimLiner Galactic. After numerous mergers the template was eventually owned by Faulcon deLacy, who have made only minor changes to the classic design. The Anaconda is a versatile craft that can transport large cargos as well as pack a decent punch. Some smaller navies use the Anaconda in the light cruiser and frigate roles. The Anaconda can also be upgraded with a docking bay allowing small fighters up to Sidewinder size to be carried and launched.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Anaconda''' is currently the second largest ship that is able to be piloted by a player in [[Elite: Dangerous|Elite Dangerous]], only being surpassed in size by the [[Imperial Cutter]]. Boasting an array of weapon [[hardpoint]]s this ship is a formidable [[combat]] ship capable of holding its own against multiple opponents. It, the [[Fer-de-Lance]], the Federal Corvette, and the Imperial Cutter are the only [[ships]] capable of equipping the powerful Class 4 [[Plasma Accelerator]]s and Cannons; however, the Anaconda's relatively low manoeuvrability makes these choices of weaponry rather inefficient and unwieldy, as it can take a considerable amount of time to properly line up shots. Some [[trader]]s also make use of this ship due to its high jump range, enormous cargo capacity (Surpassed only by the [[Lakon Type-9 Heavy]], the [[Federal Corvette]], and the [[Imperial Cutter]]), and superb defensive capabilities. The only downside is the cost to upgrade and maintain the ship. Prices for modules will easily exceed 1 million credits.

The weapon hardpoint locations are as follows: Two Class 3 Large hardpoints top mounted side-by-side to each other in front of the cockpit and about 1/3 the ship length back from the front tip with slightly blocked aft line of sight. One Class 2 Medium hardpoint side mounted on each side near the front tip of the ship (2x Class 2 medium hardpoints total) with decent lines of sight. One Class 3 Large hardpoint mounted on the underside of the ship, near the tip of the ship, with somewhat blocked aft line of sight. One Class 4 Huge hardpoint mounted on the underside of the ship at about 1/3 of the ship length back from the front tip, mounted slightly lower than the underside class 3 hardpoint, with nearly uninterrupted forward and below lines of sight and somewhat blocked aft lines of sight. Two Class 1 Small hardpoints mounted on the underside of the ship, side-by-side to each other, at the very back of the large rectangular Cargo bay shaped area, with nearly uninterrupted lines of sight in all underside directions but have extremely limited firing arc convergence with the top mounted class 3 large hardpoints.

202.36.179.100: Undo revision 32778 by 169.244.100.48 (talk)

There are a number of distinct roles that players can take on. Roles do not require prior experience or skills to take part in - by obtaining the necessary equipment anyone can perform any role. Trading, smuggling, exploring, mining, bounty hunting, and pirating are the six main roles. [[Frontier Developments]] have stated that they want all roles to be equally profitable.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gMbLjUjs1w&feature=youtu.be Dev Diary 3 - Player Roles]</ref>

==Courier==
{{main|Courier}}
Starport [[Bulletin Board|bulletin boards]] will often offer missions that require little or no cargo space and can be an easy (albeit low) source of income. Missions that require no cargo space will be marked with two horizontal arrows pointing left and right whereas courier missions that require some cargo space are marked with a cargo container and an arrow pointing to the right. Accepted missions can be turned in (completed) by travelling to the mission's destination and using the starport bulletin board there.

==Trader==
{{main|Trader}}
Trading is the act of buying [[commodities]] at a low price and selling them for a higher price. In Elite: Dangerous the [[Galaxy Map]] can help traders determine profitable trade routes by providing purchasable market data as well as displaying NPC trade routes and economy types. As profitable as it can be to haul cargo around the galaxy, pirates abound and, depending on the system, can be a major hazard for traders who are not prepared.

==Explorer==
{{main|Explorer}}

Exploring is a (mostly) lonely and time consuming job. The profitability depends on how much undiscovered data the player has to sell and, when the system is all but unknown, the profit can be quite substantial. Starting from game's version 1.1, it will display tag with commander's name alongside astronomical object to indicate which person first discovered and sold this exploration data to authorities. However, you are still able explore said star system and make credits regardless.

==Miner==
{{main|Miner}}

Mining in Elite: Dangerous is very manual as the player must use a mining laser to chip off pieces of an asteroid to then scoop up to be refined onboard. For newer players mining can be a good way to learn ship control, operation of the cargo scoop, and how to interact with the control panel in flight. With the fothcoming Powerplay expansion (due late May 2015), pilots of the larger ships will be able to employ drones to automate the mining process.

==Smuggler==
{{main|Smuggler}}

Smugglers are similar to traders except that they sell goods where it is illegal, on the [[Black Market|black market]]. Smugglers have to use stealth, cunning and special equipment to outwit the Police and sometimes military authorities, especially around [[station]]s, to sell their goods at a profit while escaping fines and a criminal record. Smugglers can also be a special case of couriers, where the player is asked to transport forbidden items.

==Pirate==
{{main|Pirate}}

Pirates naturally earn combat ranking by attacking and destroying other ships. The primary motivation for pirates is the cargo carried by their prey. Pirates use powerful weaponry and their fearsome reputations to encourage traders to hand over their goods.

==Mercenary==
{{main|Mercenary}}

Mercenary work is found at starport bulletin boards which send the player to fight at [[Conflict Zone]]s and warzones. In zones with active fighting a mercenary can find near constant work.

==Assassin==
{{main|Assassin}}

An assassin requires flight experience and solid equipment as their targets are highly dangerous. The payout for taking down targets can be extremely rewarding, but make sure to never underestimate the enemy - their bounties are large for a reason.

==Bounty Hunter==
{{main|Bounty Hunter}}

Space is a rough place and there are plenty of pirates in the anarchy systems who need to be retired. The bounty hunter takes advantage of the in-game bounty system, earning credits and combat rank for destroying wanted ships. Bounty hunters specialize in lethal, offensively-focused ships which are capable of reliably destroying their prey.

202.36.179.100: Fixed up the eagle price again. I wish people would stop changing these prices before they understand the system.

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games,[http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html] there will be a variety of designs.

There will be 25 different playable ships<ref>http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9285</ref> at launch, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4</ref> Some will have variant versions, and each will have a huge range of different equipment levels,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NSMMTfwTOU&t=203</ref> so they could be equipped as freighters, attack ships, explorers, etc.

The in-shipyard prices are modified by the value of your current ship and supply/demand. It is not the true value of the ship. Generate costs from the insurance. The only ships this doesn't work for is the Type 9.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Note the sidewinder is available for free via insurance.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>Empty, stripped, full fuel

Values in '''''bold italics''''' indicate best in category

Note that prices will vary greatly between star ports and are modified by the resell value of your current ship, Lakons and Anacondas in particular undergo a significant markup, expect to pay up to double the values in the table. The above prices are the based of the insurance values which are currently the only way to find the true value of a ship.

Here are [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=31072 some more detailed ship stats], which include things such as turnrates, which should be added to this page soon.

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

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>Newsletter #7</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battle cruisers, 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) ===
Armored warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of recon, 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 defense 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.

The in shipyard prices are modified by the value of your current ship and supply/demand so is not the true value of the ship. Generate costs from the insurance. The only ships this doesn't work for is the Type 9.

Note that prices will vary greatly between star ports and are modified by the resell value of your current ship, Lakons and Anacondas in particular undergo a significant markup, expect to pay up to double the values in the table. The above prices are the based of the insurance values which are currently the only way to find the true value of a ship.

Here are [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=31072 some more detailed ship stats], which include things such as turnrates, which should be added to this page soon.

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

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>Newsletter #7</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battle cruisers, 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) ===
Armored warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of recon, 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 defense 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.

202.36.179.100: Slightly corrected ship price to be inline with insurance.

[[File:Screenshot 0301.jpg|thumb|400px|Anaconda]]

The '''Anaconda''' is currently the largest ship that is able to be piloted by a player in Elite: Dangerous.

Boasting three Class 6 hardpoints, two Class 4 hardpoints, two Class 2 hardpoints, and one Class 8 hardpoint for weapon mounts it is an extremely formidable combat ship capable of holding its own against multiple opponents. It is currently the only ship capable of equipping the powerful Class 8 [[Plasma Accelerators|Plasma Accelerator]].

Careers

2014-08-18T01:39:07Z

202.36.179.100: Changed smuggler to reflect the fact it is already a very real role. (have you smuggled drugs from wyrd to the federation yet? it's a lot of fun and pays exceptionally well)

Players can take on a number of basic '''roles''' within the universe.

They can become traders, smugglers, explorers, [[Bounty Hunters|bounty hunters]] and [[Pirates|pirates.]] This information is not final; there may be more (miners?) and it may be possible to carry out two roles that have similar requirements. It has been stated that roles are defined by the player's ship and how it is configured, rather than by customizing their character (and therefore creating a class system).

Although the following roles have existed in previous games, Frontier Developments have stated that game progression is possible in any of these roles and they will be balanced so that no one role gives an advantage.

== Trader ==
In its simplest form, trading is simply buying goods on the [[Commodities Market]] in one location and selling them at another, the difference in price is the profit. Trading will link to a dynamic background simulation based on player activity, which will result in changes in prices and volumes of goods in different systems over time, and even the colonization of new systems. Traders in less-safe systems will rely on armour, shields and weapons to dissuade pirates from attacking them, or to buy enough time to make an escape.

== Smuggler ==
Smugglers are like traders. However while they buy a given good where it is legal they sell it where it is illegal, on the black market. Smugglers have to use stealth, cunning and special equipment to outwit the Police and sometimes military authorities, especially around stations, to sell their goods at a profit while escaping fines and a criminal record.

== Explorer ==
Although exploration was a component of previous games, there was no way to progress in any meaningful way by exploration alone. In Elite:Dangerous, players will have the opportunity to earn income and gain reputation by making pioneering jumps into unexplored systems, and gathering data on planets, stars and other points of interest within systems.

== Bounty Hunter ==
Space is a rough place and there are plenty of pirates in the anarchy systems who need to be retired. The [[Bounty Hunters|bounty hunter]] takes advantage of the in-game bounty system, earning credits and combat rank for destroying pirate ships. Bounties can be set either by the game itself or by other players. Bounty hunters will specialize in lethal, offensively-focused ships which will be capable of reliably destroying their pirate prey.

== Pirate ==
[[Pirates]] will naturally earn combat ranking by attacking and destroying other ships. Their primary motivation will be the precious cargo carried by their prey, although new game mechanics (such as the ability to affect politics and supply and demand of commodities) will add an extra dimension to those who are willing to have a price on their head. Pirates will use powerful weaponry and fearsome reputations to encourage traders to hand over their goods.

Sidewinder

2014-08-15T01:16:51Z

202.36.179.100: Added the cost and insurance values. Being able to get it for free doesn't mean it's valueless.

[[File:Sidewinder16x9.jpg|thumb|400px|Sidewinder Mk. I]]
Built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], the '''Sidewinder Mk I''' is a superb multi-role ship suitable for any role. It is inexpensive - free, in fact - and can be used for light transport and combat duties.

Its maneuverability makes it an excellent choice for both green and experienced pilots. The Sidewinder is a dependable vessel that will get you where you need to go, safe and sound.

== Overview (Beta) ==
The Sidewinder is the default craft offered throughout the game. The player starts in one, and if at any time their ship is destroyed they can get a free Sidewinder if they can't or don't want to replace their ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find flying it for a longer time or going back to it often.

Although the Sidewinder is cheap, it is not harmless; it is very maneuverable compared to any other available ship, save the [[Eagle Mk II|Eagle]]. In particular, it can out-turn a [[Cobra Mk. III|Cobra]] or [[Anaconda]], stay aimed at subsystems, and still keep enough range to lay down fire. Combined with heavy weaponry like missile pods, the Sidewinder can punch far above its weight. The major disadvantages of the Sidewinder is that it isn't very quick, being outclassed by Eagles, [[Viper Mk III|Vipers]], and Cobras, and that it isn't well armored, being far outclassed by Anacondas and [[Lakon Type 9|Lakon haulers]].

The Sidewinder is thus a master of the knife-fight, but a little weak at a distance. When flying one, using its excellent turning to lock opponents into circling matches, and burning away opposite of the enemy to escape are advised tactics. When fighting a Sidewinder, keep it at range and lay down heavy fire if the current ship can't outmaneuver it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that has can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front.

Attention editors, price is to be based of the insurance cost (x20). The in shipyard prices are modified by the value of your current ship and supply/demand so is not the true value of the ship. Prices marked with a "~" need to be found out via insurance.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Note the sidewinder is available for free via insurance.

Note that prices will vary greatly between star ports and are modified by the resell value of your current ship, Lakons and Anacondas in particular undergo a significant markup, expect to pay up to double the values in the table.

Armored warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of recon, 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 defense 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.
