{{quote|Most pilots start their careers in the Sidewinder. It is a classic ship design that has been in use (in various configurations) since 2982. Its original design was a light support ship and it lacked jump capability. Modern compact drives have enabled jump-capable versions to be created, making this a useful all rounder. Some navies still use these ships as fighters and patrol craft.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], is a superb multipurpose ship suitable for any role. It is inexpensive - free, in fact - and can be used for light transport and [[combat]] duties.

Its manoeuvrability 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.

Uses the [[DeLacy Spin Ionic MV]].

==Overview==
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 previous ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find themselves flying in a Sidewinder for a longer time or going back to it often.

Although the Sidewinder is cheap, it is not harmless; it is among the top when it comes to manoeuvrability compared to other [[ships]]. In particular, it can out-turn most other ships, being topped in that category only by the [[Eagle]], [[Vulture]], and [[Imperial Courier]], and has solid lateral thrust.

It is, however, one of the slowest-moving and weakest-hulled ships in the game; only the [[Anaconda]] and certain pure trade ships have slower maximum speeds, and only the Eagle has a weaker hull (but makes up for it with stronger shields.)

The Sidewinder is therefore an acceptable ship in a knife-fight, but lacks firepower. 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 outmanoeuvre it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front.

{{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.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a heavy freighter and is one of three freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. Currently it has the largest cargo capacity of any ship available making it the ideal trading and hauling vessel. As a result of this it suffers from poor manoeuvrability and can have difficulty in shaking smaller [[ships]] from its blind spot. Although with five weapon [[hardpoint]]s the {{PAGENAME}} is not without defences and can equip heavy armaments.

It 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.

The ship itself is often seen as a freighter, although it can be a potent threat if equipped with the right weapons. It can, with good aim and piloting take down a Sidewinder in one pass. Yet, the primary role of this ship is to be a [[trader]] as it is incredibly slow and lumbering. Also note that pilots have problems fitting through the entrance of [[Station]]s and can therefore be very expensive to fly (due to crashes) if the pilot is not sufficiently skilled. A [[Standard Docking Computer]] can be useful for players who have trouble docking this ship.

{{quote|Saud Kruger are famed for their range of luxury passenger vessels. This is their top of the line vessel (although they do offer custom built vessels that are bigger) and is capable of carrying passengers in extreme comfort and elegance.

The '''Orca''' is currently one of three known passenger ships, the others being the [[Dolphin]] and the [[Beluga Liner]]. In the current game {{CurrentVersion}} there is not much difference between a passenger ship and other ships except for the sleek and fashionable design, long windows, and luxurious interior.

* The Orca is the only ship in game that cannot fit a optimal sized shield. It requires a size 6 for optimal, but can only take a size 5 in one of the size 5 slots.
* The Orca sells for a 20% discount at Irkutsk in the Alioth system. (As Alioth is the political center of the Alliance, a system permit is required. Places to get such a permit include Rominger Dock in the 78 Ursae Majoris system. Look for the "Making Friends And Going Places" job on the Bulletin Board.)

{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp Mk II's (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game and thus is quite good for use as an exploration ship. It has six weapon [[hardpoint]]s and has a good turning radius for its size which makes the Asp good for more than just exploration. The Asp can act as a heavy-duty bounty hunting vessel due to its superb weapon capacity and good manoeuvrability for its size. [[Pirate]]s can also use the Asp to great effect because of the ample cargo capacity, heavy armament, long jump range and large mass (allowing it to charge its own [[Frame Shift Drive]] with minimal mass disruption while also mass disrupting the frame shift drive of most [[ships]]).

The main downside of this ship is the high initial purchase cost and high maintenance costs. Many roles that the Asp fills can be fulfilled with cheaper ships, though the Asp's performance is typically better than that of the less expensive option. An example would be pirating which can be done in a [[Cobra Mk. III|Cobra]] whose purchase cost is 6.3 million credits less, while still having a moderate cargo capacity and comparable weapon armament. Another example would be trading which can be done in a [[Type-6 Transporter]] that has nearly the same cargo capacity, and costs 5.6 million credits less. A further example would be bounty hunting which can be done better in a [[Vulture]] which is more manoeuvrable and has higher firepower, while costing 1.7 million credits less.

The {{PAGENAME}} can be purchased at a 20% discount at Irkutsk station in the Alliance capital system of [[Alioth]].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=122593 Discounted purchase price forum article]</ref>

Pilots should be aware that Turrets in both Medium Hardpoints will have firing arcs above the cockpit where the pilot can generally see the target that the turrets are shooting at. However, turrets in all four Small Hardpoints will have firing arcs below the cockpit, where the target will tend to be obscured from the pilot's vision by the flight console and the floor.

{{quote|The Viper Mk III is the most recent development of the most successful fighter classes ever built. The original Viper Defence Craft was designed by Faulcon Manspace in 2762 in the Reorte shipyards. The basic model was beefed up with the Viper II by Faulcon deLacy. The new Viper III is a revitalised model with a new more armoured look. It is a top class fighter found in many well equipped police and naval forces.|In-Game Description}}
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' made its first appearance in the game in Standard Beta 1. It is a vessel used by [[station|Station]] security forces and law enforcement, and is currently one of the fastest [[ships]] available to purchase. It is primarily intended for combat; compared to the multi-role [[Cobra Mk. III]], it has the same weapons capacity, slightly stronger shields per shield class, slightly weaker hull, marginally slower turn rate, much faster strafe speed, faster speed under normal thrust and slower speed under boost.

Its main drawbacks are that its heat dissipation, power generation and [[hyperspace]] capacity do not equal that of the Cobra, which limits the value of having the same hardpoint capacity; mounting the ship's full weapon weight makes it very short-ranged, and an energy-heavy armament causes it to either overheat or use all available power very quickly. Fuel is also an issue as the ship comes with a tank with a capacity of only 4 tons, and it can be extremely difficult to find a fuel efficient setup that does not compromise combat ability.

In addition to its official police/security role, the Viper's speed, range and combat capability make it ideal for [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], small-load [[courier]]s, [[Mercenary|mercenaries]] or [[smuggler]]s, while its small cargo capacity makes it a very poor choice for [[trader]]s, and a survivable but inadequately profitable platform for [[pirate]]s.

Conflict Zone (Signal Source)

2015-05-31T09:58:31Z

78.115.185.210:

[[Image:2015-01-18 00001.jpg|thumb|200 px | A targeted conflict zone waypoint in supercruise]]
[[Image:2015-01-18 00002.jpg|thumb|200 px | A combat mission with a conflict zone (warzone) as target type]]

[[{{PAGENAME}}]]s are temporary warzones that occur wherever [[factions]] are waging [[Influence#Civil War|civil war]] against each other. Conflict zones come in two types — low intensity and high intensity — depending on the size of the ship spawn.

Upon entering conflict zones are randomly populated with NPC fighter [[ships]] of the warring factions and players can choose to fight for a side by setting the preferred faction in-game in the Systems panel under Functions.

Apart from normal [[Bounty Voucher|bounty vouchers]] for wanted ships, players have the unique opportunity to collect [[Combat Bond Voucher|combat bond vouchers]] in conflict zones if they choose to side with a faction and battle the opposition. These combat bond vouchers can be redeemed at any local station in the system.

During times of civil war some factions may also hand out special combat bond missions through the [[Bulletin Board|bulletin board]] which call for the destruction of opposing targets in conflict zones (referred to in combat missions as ''warzones'').

== Location ==
[[Image:Conflict_zone.png|thumb|200px|In more recent news GalNet reveals Quivira to be the center of major conflict and therefore a potent source for conflict zones in and around that system]]

Conflict zones are rarer and more difficult to locate than [[Resource Extraction Site|resource extraction sites]] since they only appear in systems where a conflict between factions occurs. Star systems with a large population are more likely to become the center of conflict.

Any [[station]] which has its ''State'' marked on the [[System Map|system map]] as ''War'', ''Civil War'', or ''Civil Unrest'' is guaranteed to have conflict zones. This also goes for a star system which has one of its local [[:Category:Factions|factions]] marked that way in system map view.

The [[GalNet]] news feed, accessible when docked at stations, usually has reports on which [[Star Systems|star system]] is currently the center of major conflict in the galaxy.

==Notes==

* During [[supercruise]] conflict zones show up automatically as locations in the Navigation panel if the player is close enough with the ship.
* For some reason conflict zones are referred to as ''Warzones'' in the in-game descriptions of combat missions.
* Almost all NPCs spawning in conflict zones are fighters aligned with either of the warring factions.
* A list of current conflict zones is constantly being gathered by the community on the [http://infolimpet.tk/conflict_zones Info Limpet] website.
