{{quote|The Type-10 Defender is the result of collaboration between the Alliance and Lakon Spaceways. With the threat of xeno-war looming, the Alliance's naval arm saw the urgent need for a weapons platform capable of withstanding heavy, sustained attack. Utilising a reinforced Type-9 chassis as a starting point, Lakon overhauled and geared every aspect of the design for combat, producing a military behemoth that could be produced in volume at short notice.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Type-10 Defender''' is a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship that represents a comprehensive revision of the [[Type-9 Heavy]]. The [[Alliance]] commissioned Lakon to build the Type-10 to combat the escalating [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] threat following a series of [[Thargoids#Station attacks and Medusae|attacks]] against [[Station]]s in the [[Pleiades Nebula]]. Announced on December 17, 3303, Lakon committed to an aggressive production schedule that delivered the Type-10 in volume to retailers the following week.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a33f0d7c8717065ab310fde Galactic News: Lakon Announces New Ship]</ref> Lakon intended the Type-10 to be "particularly effective in combat situations".<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a3be4794b55be3e304a16b2 Galactic News: Type-10 Defender Now Available]</ref>

==Overview==
Like the Type-9 Heavy it was based on, the Type-10 Defender is a slow, bulky ship, but substantial modifications to the design give it more versatility. The Type-10 is not only somewhat faster than the Type-9, but has stronger armour, better heat management, double the utility slots, four added large weapon hardpoints, and two Military Compartments, making it a viable warship. The Type-10 retains the Type-9's compatibility with [[Multicrew]] and ability to mount a [[Fighter Hangar]].

Notably, despite the Type-10's focus on combat-readiness, it also retains the same overall cargo capacity as the Type-9, allowing it to be configured into a well-protected heavy trader. However, due to the wide spacing of the weapon slots, gimballed or turreted weapons are recommended. Another limitation to keep in mind is the Type-10's Class 6 [[Power Distributor]], which is inadequate when considering the amount of hardpoints the ship has. This causes the Type-10 to struggle with weapons that have high Distributor Draw, such as lasers and railguns. The Type-10's Power Distributor will be upgraded to Class 7 in the 3.0 update.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/401680-3-0-Open-Beta-Patch-Notes Frontier Forums: 3.0 Open Beta - Patch Notes]</ref>

The Type-10 also features mobile structural elements, like the [[Diamondback Explorer]]. The ship's small wings are extended during flight, but will fold up when landing gear is deployed.

==Trivia==
*The Type-10 Defender's existence was accidentally revealed on August 17, 2017, in an in-game list of [[Multicrew]]-capable ships.<ref>[https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/843716738480807053/C532017E9DDC079D334B6CA41B3ECE48CFFD0175/ Steam User Images: Screenshot of the new Multicrew tab, with a list of Multicrew-capable ships, in the Comms menu as seen in the 2.4 beta]</ref> It was immediately speculated to be a renamed [[Panther Clipper]], a heavy cargo ship which had been expected for years and hinted at in concept art for [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]], but this was debunked by Frontier Developments.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/371162-Type-10-Defender-new-ship-(not-yet-purchasable)?p=5832400&viewfull=1#post5832400 Frontier Forums: Type-10 Defender, new ship (not yet purchasable)]</ref> Frontier subsequently teased an unidentified new ship that was assumed to be the Type-10 in a trailer for upcoming 2.4 content at [[Frontier Expo]] 2017, but it was not until December 15, 2017 that the ship was officially announced via the weekly Elite Dangerous Newsletter.<ref name="N205">[http://email-frontier.co.uk/t/3F35-LT78-EC33OUQFC5/cr.aspx Elite Dangerous Newsletter #205 (December 15, 2017)]</ref> The Type-10 was finally made available in-game on December 20, 2017 as part of update 2.4, [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons#The Return - v2.4|The Return]].

{{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.
