It's based on the Type 6 frame but with extra weapon hardpoints. It has a reduced cargo capacity to support a higher class of powerplant, and can even accomodate a fighter bay. Its durability is improved by better defence capabilities for armour and shields. Its similiar shioluette to the Type 6 makes it a suitable vessel for commerce raiding or convoy support.|In-game description}}The '''Keelback''' is a freighter ship with enhanced combat capabilities based on a Type-6 Transporter chassis. It's confirmed to debuit in the 1.5 "Ships" update in December 2015. It was first mentioned in a list from the ''Answers from the Devs'' where it said it is an upcoming ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898&page=3&p=2952777#post2952777 Answers from the Devs 15/10/15]</ref>

As this had never been heard of, people speculated that it was an alternative name to the [[Panther Clipper]]. However, on a stream David Braben revealed that it is a ship similar to the Lakon [[Type-6 Transporter]], but with better weapon hardpoints.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdP1DmRYco8&t=32m22s Elite Dangerous - On the Horizon Episode 4 - Q&A with David Braben 6PM GMT - 04/11/2015 ]</ref> It also has a better power plant at the cost of less internal compartments.

The ship has firepower similiar to most of small combat ships, boasting two small and two medium hardpoints. Two medium are located on top of the ship, very close to the cockpit, two small ones are on the bottom a bit further back. One of three utility mounts is located on the nose of the ship directly above the frontal landing gear piece, and two more on top and at the back.

According to the in-game descriprion, this ship is capable of mounting a fighter bay, similiar to the [[Anaconda]].

{{quote|The Vulture space superiority fighter sacrifices hardpoint flexibility for manoeuvrability. Advanced manufacturing techniques have allowed the Vulture to integrate large hardpoints into its relatively small frame, offsetting the ship's limited weapon count, but its nimble flight characteristics make it equally devastating against smaller targets. A limited cargo and passenger capability has not stopped it becoming a preferred personal transport for those who like to project a certain attitude in their dealings.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a heavy space superiority fighter. With its two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small size and it is also a very maneuverable ship. The Vulture's main drawback is the ship's limited power capacity given the wealth and kinds of outfitting slots available, which can be circumvented for the most part by a combination of smart power management and sacrifices in the loadout choice.

Plasma Accelerator

2015-02-02T21:02:22Z

77.173.137.59: /* Purchase Locations */ one added. No clue how to do the table. Sorry :(

{{quote|Energy projectile weapon...|In-Game Description}}

[[File:Plasmaaccelerator.png|thumb|400px|Class 4 Plasma Accelerator]]

Plasma Accelerators are mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and need assigning to a fire group before they can be used. They are very large and powerful weapons. After firing, they take a few seconds to recharge.

Military battleships, cruisers, and also battlestations, are often equipped with this weapon. They're also fitted to large trading ships and passenger liners operating in the more dangerous regions of space.

Even a Small Plasma Accelerator will destroy a well armed hundred tonne ship with a single shot. The large version has been known to be used as a planetary assault weapon, destroying selected areas of cities from orbit. This has a devastating effect on the local population, because the terrifying noise of the beam cutting through the atmosphere can be heard for hundreds of kilometres, and will deafen anyone unprotected in the vicinity.

==Munitions==
Spent ammunition must be replenished once used. Any station is equipped with a "Re-arm" service will be able to replenish ammunition. Once docked at the station, ammunition can be purchased from the Munitions menu in the Starport Services.

Ammunition costs 2,000 CR per unit.

==Notes==
* The plasma Accelerator fires a ball of plasma every 3 or 4 seconds, and is only good for direct fire.
* 3 shots will take out a Lakon 9 shield and another 3 shots for the hull. Damage per shot is upwards of 35% to 14% depending how it hits.
* Main problem is overheating after just 3 or 4 shots, best used with a few projectile weapons as if you use lasers the ship heats up too fast and then you can't fire the Plasma Accelerators.
* Hard to hit very maneuverable ships; especially smaller ones.
