{{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 '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]]. Featuring two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture packs serious firepower into a relatively small frame. Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, it is a contender for the most maneuverable ship in the game owing to its powerful lateral thrusters and extremely powerful engines relative to the ship's mass, only being out-turned by smaller, less-armed ships.

==Overview==
The Vulture's two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hull of the ship. Due to the spacing between the hardpoints, a loadout of two fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets.

The Vulture has two manned stations. The pilot's station is on the centerline of the ship. The auxiliary station is offset to the port side above and behind the pilot's station.

Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It possesses the highest base shield and armor hitpoints out of all small sized ships; it has very good internal compartments (even better than the much more expensive [[Fer-de-Lance]]); and its number of utility mounts is 4, the same as larger ships such as [[Python]] and [[Federal Gunship]]. However, there is a catch: the Vulture is held back by its limited power capacity, which greatly limits viable loadout choices and encourages smart [[module priority control]].

The Vulture has an available 16 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/vulture-ship-kit-16-pieces.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.

Shipyard

80.57.106.52:

Shipyards is the option in the menu of a station that lets you buy and sell ships and also store ships if you have more than one. A system with a high tech economy are more likely than others to have many different ships to purchase but this is not always the case. In some systems with conflict zones, stations nearby will often have as many ships listed as a high tech one.
== Selling ships ==
When a player sells a ship, they get only 90% of the total value of the ship back. This has lead to a lot of frustration from many players since this information is not in the game or in the prompt when you sell the ship, the price is just simply adjusted on the screen.

In order to get more money back, players always sell the modules and parts of the ship and replace them with modules with lowest classes and grades as to get back as much money as possible.

For the smaller ships like [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Cobra Cobra], [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Viper Viper] and [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Sidewinder Sidewinder], a 10% loss of the ship value is not much, but when fully outfitted with modules with maximum classes and grades, a 10% ship value can be up to 200'000 credits. For bigger ships like [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Lakon_Type_7 Lakon Type 7], the loss is closer to 2 million credits.

This hidden game feature also makes it worthless to pursue trading, then selling the ship to do combat and then returning to trading or any other switch in game style that requires selling the ship. It is recommended to buy a ship and keep it permanently and then buy additional ships while keeping primary ships. Thus, if you want to go into a combat zone or switch profession, remember to keep the 10% of the ship value as an inevitable loss when you are done with that ship.
