{{quote|In September, Gutamaya Shipyards released a new version of the enduringly popular Eagle. This month, the company has announced the launch of a new fighter designed specifically for the CQC Championship – the Imperial Fighter. Gutamaya has said that the small, manoeuvrable vessel will be ideally suited to close-quarters dogfights, and more than capable of going toe-to-toe with other CQC fighters.|Galnet News, 06 DEC 3301<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56617a8b9657bafb2210d8c3</ref>}}
The '''Gu-97''', also known as the '''Imperial Fighter''', is a [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] manufactured by [[Gutamaya]] for the [[Empire]]. It is as noted for its high manoeuvrability and firepower as it is for its low shielding and range. It is typically launched as support craft for an Imperial cruiser, and is useless on its own if outflanked or outnumbered. It is most commonly seen in conflict zones which include an imperial faction, or patrolling space stations in Imperial territory. The Gu-97 can be purchased in [[Empire]] systems only, but can be restocked in any system.

==Overview==
Compared to its alternative options, the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Taipan]], the Gu-97 sacrifices any decent protection for much more mobility. This translates into a ship that is good for experienced pilots to utilise and take full advantage of. However, the AI will struggle in the fighter as they wont be able to use full use of the mobility and will often take hits, dying very quickly. The ship is therefore ill advised for leaving in the hands of an AI crewmember.

The Gu-97 is currently accessible in [[Close Quarters Combat]] and with the release of [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] 2.2 "The Guardians" update, it is a [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] that can be deployed from a [[Fighter Hangar]] module.

Due to the Gu-97's short length, light weight and high speed, it is prone to spinning out of control when it collides with another object at an angle. When this happens the pilot may lose control of the fighter for a long time.

== Description ==
The blueprint describes the Gu-97: ''"The Empire's standard small class single man fighter is as famous for its agility as it is for its short range. If you see one of these then you know that something bigger is lurking nearby."''<ref>http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/File:450px-Empire_fighter.png</ref>

== Lore ==
According the ship's designer, Pascal Roux, the Gu-97 was created as a tribute to the late [[Emperor]], [[Hengist Duval]]. In an interview with the [[Imperial Herald]], Roux said: "What I admired most about the Emperor was his balance of elegance and strength, and the fighter represents my attempt to reflect those qualities."<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/06-DEC-3301</ref>

==Variants==
The Gu-97 is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility slot. F-variants have fixed weapons and G-variants have gimballed weapons.

{{quote|The Type 7 Transporter is Lakon Spaceways' mid range transport vessel. This is a new model, released in 3290. It is slow but moves a lot of tonnage for its size.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-7 Transporter''' is a large freighter produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. A dedicated trading vessel, the Type-7 occupies a niche between the smaller [[Type-6 Transporter]] and the larger [[Type-9 Heavy]] in terms of overall cargo capacity. Although its cargo capacity is unimpressive compared to other large ships, such as the [[Type-9 Heavy]], the Type-7's appeal lies in its relatively low purchase cost for its size and its moderate jump range, making it a highly-accessible option for trading.

==Overview==
The Type-7 is a bulky trader and is the next step for a trader, up from the [[Type-6]]. It features far better cargo capacity and nearly thrice the amount. Due to the Type-7 requiring a large [[Landing Pad]], it cannot dock at [[Outpost]]s, which somewhat limits its utility compared to medium ships with smaller cargo capacities such as the [[Python]]. However it is much less expensive and is still able to carry more cargo. Additionally the T-7 is the cheapest and smallest large ship in the game.

Repair costs on the Type-7 are low which makes trading without shields a reasonable strategy if you can avoid combat along the way; however, this can be rather risky as the low manoeuvrability makes the T-7 interdiction vulnerable meaning it is not always guaranteed to evade. However an upside is that the T-7's rather ludicrous pitch and yaw speed combined with decent base speed lets it get away and make a [[hyperspace]] jump out of combat. Keep in mind the T-7's mass lock factor is a measly 10; by far the lowest of any large ship and smaller than most medium ships.

In combat, the T-7, unlike the [[Hauler]] and [[Type-6]], is somewhat viable. With turreted mounts, its decent shields and hull as well as four hardpoints—which puts its damage on par with the [[Adder]]—it can pump out solid damage and can do a decent job of keeping gimballed and fixed mounts on their targets, and can at the very least make pirates operate with caution. While a dedicated combat T-7 is ill-advised, it is still capable of combat unlike its predecessors and is a good way of collecting bounties along with cargo until the Python or Type-9 become available, as both are very capable of combat and trade at the same time.

The Type-7 is a viable exploration ship, with some caveats. With ranges around 30LY, the ship is very capable of long range jumps and can be very good at long range deliveries or [[Rare Goods]] trading. That said, the Type-7 can easily go from 39% heat to nearly 90% just while charging its FSD for a hyperspace jump. This can make fuel scooping a tricky endeavor and the lack of thermal headroom should be kept in mind when fitting the Type-7 for exploration or long-distance travel.

The Type-7 is also a viable [[miner]] as it has enough hardpoints to mine effectively and more than enough compartment and cargo space to hold minerals and ores. It will be virtually incapable at defending itself however so in this situation a [[Keelback]] may be more useful.

Overall the T-7 is a dedicated trader just like the T-6 though has some other merits worth mentioning. It is a good stepping stone towards the end-game trader the Type-9 and has a reasonable price tag for its uses.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: Two forward mounted Class 1 small hardpoints next to the cockpit (one on each side, visible from cockpit), One underside mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships and off-center to the right, and One top mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships. The top and bottom hardpoints have a full hemisphere of clear lines of fire making them good places for turrets, while the two front mounted hardpoints are mostly suited for fixed and gimballed weapons. A word of caution in the Type-7 is to keep in mind the cockpit is at the bottom front of the ship with a large area of the ship directly above the pilot. It is very common for pilots to crash the T-7 into the mail slot due to this.

Note: As of v1.4.01 it is possible to overheat and do module damage to a stock T-7 if the frame-shift drive is charged for a jump to supercruise or hyperspace but not throttled up/aligned for a jump. It is a good idea to carry [[Heatsink Launcher|heatsinks]] in the T-7.

* The 1st is in the left cutout on top of the ship.
* The 2nd is in the right cutout on top of the ship.
* The 3rd is on the bottom of the ship where the right wing connects to the body.
* The 4th is on the bottom of the ship where the left wing connects to the body.

== Trivia ==
* The Type-7 Transporter has the same yaw and pitch speeds, which means it can turn side-to-side just as fast as it can adjust up and down on the nose. This offsets the low manoeuvrability rating when it comes to docking manually. Additionally, the Type-7 has the highest base yaw speed of any jump capable ship.
* The Type-7 is tied with the [[Diamondback Scout]] for the lowest amount of [[Livery]] options available (excluding the [[Cobra MkIV]]), with only three paint packs each and no ship kits.
* The Type-7 is the only large ship incapable of [[Multicrew]].

{{quote|The Type 7 Transporter is Lakon Spaceways' mid range transport vessel. This is a new model, released in 3290. It is slow but moves a lot of tonnage for its size.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-7 Transporter''' is a large freighter produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. A dedicated trading vessel, the Type-7 occupies a niche between the smaller [[Type-6 Transporter]] and the larger [[Type-9 Heavy]] in terms of overall cargo capacity. Although its cargo capacity is unimpressive compared to other large ships, such as the [[Type-9 Heavy]], the Type-7's appeal lies in its relatively low purchase cost for its size and its moderate jump range, making it a highly-accessible option for trading.

==Overview==
The Type-7 is a bulky trader and is the next step for a trader, up from the [[Type-6]]. It features far better cargo capacity and nearly thrice the amount. Due to the Type-7 requiring a large [[Landing Pad]], it cannot dock at [[Outpost]]s, which somewhat limits its utility compared to medium ships with smaller cargo capacities such as the [[Python]]. However it is much less expensive and is still able to carry more cargo. Additionally the T-7 is the cheapest and smallest large ship in the game.

Repair costs on the Type-7 are low which makes trading without shields a reasonable strategy if you can avoid combat along the way; however, this can be rather risky as the low manoeuvrability makes the T-7 interdiction vulnerable meaning it is not always guaranteed to evade. However an upside is that the T-7's rather ludicrous pitch and yaw speed combined with decent base speed lets it get away and make a [[hyperspace]] jump out of combat. Keep in mind the T-7's mass lock factor is a measly 10; by far the lowest of any large ship and smaller than most medium ships.

In combat, the T-7, unlike the [[Hauler]] and [[Type-6]], is somewhat viable. With turreted mounts, its decent shields and hull as well as four hardpoints—which puts its damage on par with the [[Adder]]—it can pump out solid damage and can do a decent job of keeping gimballed and fixed mounts on their targets, and can at the very least make pirates operate with caution. While a dedicated combat T-7 is ill-advised, it is still capable of combat unlike its predecessors and is a good way of collecting bounties along with cargo until the Python or Type-9 become available, as both are very capable of combat and trade at the same time.

The Type-7 is a viable exploration ship, with some caveats. With ranges around 30LY, the ship is very capable of long range jumps and can be very good at long range deliveries or [[Rare Goods]] trading. That said, the Type-7 can easily go from 39% heat to nearly 90% just while charging its FSD for a hyperspace jump. This can make fuel scooping a tricky endeavor and the lack of thermal headroom should be kept in mind when fitting the Type-7 for exploration or long-distance travel.

The Type-7 is also a viable [[miner]] as it has enough hardpoints to mine effectively and more than enough compartment and cargo space to hold minerals and ores. It will be virtually incapable at defending itself however so in this situation a [[Keelback]] may be more useful.

Overall the T-7 is a dedicated trader just like the T-6 though has some other merits worth mentioning. It is a good stepping stone towards the end-game trader the Type-9 and has a reasonable price tag for its uses.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: Two forward mounted Class 1 small hardpoints next to the cockpit (one on each side, visible from cockpit), One underside mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships and off-center to the right, and One top mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships. The top and bottom hardpoints have a full hemisphere of clear lines of fire making them good places for turrets, while the two front mounted hardpoints are mostly suited for fixed and gimballed weapons. A word of caution in the Type-7 is to keep in mind the cockpit is at the bottom front of the ship with a large area of the ship directly above the pilot. It is very common for pilots to crash the T-7 into the mail slot due to this.

Note: As of v1.4.01 it is possible to overheat and do module damage to a stock T-7 if the frame-shift drive is charged for a jump to supercruise or hyperspace but not throttled up/aligned for a jump. It is a good idea to carry [[Heatsink Launcher|heatsinks]] in the T-7.

== Location of utility mounts ==
* The 1st is in the left cutout on top of the ship.
* The 2nd is in the right cutout on top of the ship.
* The 3rd is on the bottom of the ship where the right wing connects to the body.
* The 4th is on the bottom of the ship where the left wing connects to the body.

== Trivia ==
* The Type-7 Transporter has the same yaw and pitch speeds, which means it can turn side-to-side just as fast as it can adjust up and down on the nose. This offsets the low manoeuvrability rating when it comes to docking manually. Additionally, the Type-7 has the highest base yaw speed of any jump capable ship.
* The Type-7 is tied with the [[Diamondback Scout]] for the lowest amount of [[Livery]] options available (excluding the [[Cobra MkIV]]), with only three paint packs each and no ship kits.
* The Type-7 is the only large ship incapable of [[Multicrew]].
