{{Quote|The Krait MkII is a reimagining of the Krait Lightspeeder, which was originally manufactured by Faulcon DeLacy in the 3100s. Although the new ship is larger than the original, it possesses many of the same characteristics, emphasizing speed, manoeuvrability and firepower over defensive capability. The ship also boasts a fighter bay and space for up to two crew members, making it a good option for those seeking a medium-weight, multipurpose vessel.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Krait MkII''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. The modern successor of the discontinued [[Krait MkI]], the Krait MkII greatly expands upon the premise of the original, resulting in a larger, well-rounded ship intended to provide a more combat-focused alternative to Faulcon DeLacy's other mid-size multipurpose craft, the [[Python]]. Due to its inconspicuous design, the Krait MkII is also less likely to attract the attention of local authorities and has potential as a smuggling vessel.<ref name="PCGN">[https://www.pcgamesn.com/elite-dangerous/elite-dangerous-beyond-chapter-two-cinematic PCGamesN: Feast your eyes on the Krait Mk II in the latest Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter Two cinematic]</ref>

== Overview ==
The Krait MkII is a leaner, meaner alternative to the [[Python]], featuring almost identical module and hardpoint specifications. The main differences are that the Krait is cheaper and has one less Class 6 internal compartment, lower armour, lower hull mass, three pilot seats for [[Multicrew]] instead of two, and the ability to carry a Class 5 or 6 [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]]. While the Python wins out in total cargo capacity and armour, the Krait's other characteristics make it a faster, more agile ship with a higher jump range potential and excellent combat utility for its price.

The Krait's three large hardpoints are mounted in a delta pattern on the vessel's dorsal surface, behind the cockpit. The two medium hardpoints are mounted on the underside of the front-most points of the hull, on either side of the cockpit and slightly forward.

The primary pilot's seat is located squarely along the centerline of the ship, but the cockpit itself extends from the hull and is slightly under-slung, affording a wide, unobstructed frontal view reminiscent of a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship such as the [[Asp Explorer]]. The two secondary pilot seats flank the primary pilot seat to the left and right, and have separate canopies.

== Notes ==
*The Krait MkII was released with the Chapter Two (3.1) update of ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' on June 28, 2018.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idrnfZ-q4X8 YouTube: Elite Dangerous: Beyond – Chapter Two cinematic trailer]</ref> Purchasing it requires owning ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]]''.<ref>[https://youtu.be/jevg_IcTtdE?t=2811 YouTube: Krait Expectations (46:51)]</ref>
*''Elite Dangerous'' narrative lead Ian Dingwall describes the ship: ''"You might think of the Krait Mk II as analogous to modern updates of the real-world Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Beetle... It's a reimagining of a classic that connects conceptually and aesthetically with the ship from 1984's Elite, while offering enough innovation and quality to compete with contemporary rivals in Elite Dangerous. While the Mk II embodies the essence of the original, it's very much its own ship."''<ref name="PCGN" />
*Senior designer Barry Clark said the Krait MkII ''"currently occupies a unique place among our ship roster and is very popular among players... The idea of a low-profile ship for Commanders flying dubious cargo was really cool to us, too. The Krait is a great all-round ship with a strong hull, powerful engines – which look super-cool – and a great load-out. It's also less 'conspicuous', meaning it's less likely to get scanned by the police compared to other ships of that size and class. It has significant straight line speed and power, as well as enough firepower to match the Python thanks to three large and two medium hardpoints. It has a really nice punch against a variety of ship types and sizes."''<ref name="PCGN" />

==Trivia==
* The Krait MKII was first teased in the first trailer for Beyond Chapter 2; only its engines were shown however and no other info was yet known.
* Bizarrely, the Krait MKII is structured upside-down, with the underside being sloped and detailed and the top being flat and mechanical; the opposite of a standard ship design.

Detailed Surface Scanner

{{quote|Advanced stellar body scanner used during exploration.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Detailed Surface Scanner''' will give a pilot info on the composition of a moon, planet, star, or other stellar body and also data such as orbital distance and orbit time.

A [[Discovery Scanner]] is ''required'' for this module to be useful; both modules must be present on the ship for this one to provide information. Use of this module increases the amount of credits that can be earned in stellar cartography by about 30%,{{Cite}} and is considered essential for any pilot wanting to use exploration as their primary source of income.

In order to use this module a pilot must select the unexplored entity from their navigation panel then fly to within range (varies due to entity diameter) just as with scanning with the discovery scanner and as such does not need to be bound to a firing group.

The scan will take from 35 seconds down to 15 seconds depending upon the range at which the entity is scanned, 35 seconds for maximum range down to a minimum of 15 for close range. This difference in scan times may make it worthwhile to get closer to an entity being scanned to save a few seconds but risks the pilot being caught in the entity's gravity well.

Upon completion of the scan the pilot will receive a message confirming the detailed scan.

{{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 capabilities, the Type-9 is a bulky yet capable ship best suited for trading or mining and with the potential of class 8 shield generators and cell banks as well as high armor values; it can be surprisingly durable.

==Overview==
The Type-9 exhibits worse maneuverability and lower speed than any other ship in the game; it has extreme difficulty in shaking smaller [[ships]] from its blind spot (using a [[Fighter Hangar]] could help mitigate this shortcoming). It has five weapon [[hardpoint|hardpoints]] 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 not totally defenseless 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 pitiful maneuverability makes avoiding [[interdiction|interdictions]] almost impossible, so keep in mind youll often be forced to fight incoming ships.

The Type-9 has actually seen some niche use as a combat vessel. Although its lack 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. Another upside is its low cost means NPC [[pirates]] will generally fly similarly priced ships such as [[Python|Pythons]]; which can be outclassed unless upgraded by the Type-9. In open play this strategy also functions well as few pirates would expect a heavy freighter to exhibit offensive powers; they can be given a nasty shock and its high mass lock can make it all the more effective of a counter. It doesn't function well as a [[bounty hunter]], however; as its bad maneuverability and speed make [[Interdiction|interdictions]] difficult to perform.

Many pilots have problems fitting through the entrance of [[Station|Stations ]]while they're first getting used to the Type 9, and it can, therefore, be very expensive for a new pilot to get used to. A [[Standard Docking Computer]] can be useful for players who have trouble docking this ship. 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 was 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 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 capabilities, the Type-9 is a bulky yet capable ship best suited for trading or mining and with the potential of class 8 shield generators and cell banks as well as high armor values; it can be surprisingly durable.

==Overview==
The Type-9 exhibits worse maneuverability and lower speed than any other ship in the game; it has extreme difficulty in shaking smaller [[ships]] from its blind spot (using a [[Fighter Hangar]] could help mitigate this shortcoming). It has five weapon [[hardpoint|hardpoints]] 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 not totally defenseless 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 pitiful maneuverability makes avoiding [[interdiction|interdictions]] almost impossible, so keep in mind youll often be forced to fight incoming ships.

The Type-9 has actually seen some niche use as a combat vessel. Although its lack 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. Another upside is its low cost means NPC [[pirates]] will generally fly similarly priced ships such as [[Python|Pythons]]; which can be outclassed unless upgraded by the Type-9. In open play this strategy also functions well as few pirates would expect a heavy freighter to exhibit offensive powers; they can be given a nasty shock and its high mass lock can make it all the more effective of a counter. It doesn't function well as a [[bounty hunter]], however; as its bad maneuverability and speed make [[Interdiction|interdictions]] difficult to perform.

Many pilots have problems fitting through the entrance of [[Station|Stations ]]while they're first getting used to the Type 9, and it can, therefore, be very expensive for a new pilot to get used to. A [[Standard Docking Computer]] can be useful for players who have trouble docking this ship. 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 was 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.
