Sidewinder

2014-08-14T13:32:56Z

81.111.145.50: Added insurance.

[[File:Sidewinder16x9.jpg|thumb|400px|Sidewinder Mk. I]]
Built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], the '''Sidewinder Mk I''' is a superb multi-role ship suitable for any role. It is inexpensive - free, in fact - and can be used for light transport and combat duties.

Its maneuverability 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.

== Overview (Beta) ==
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 ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find flying it for a longer time or going back to it often.

Although the Sidewinder is cheap, it is not harmless; it is very maneuverable compared to any other available ship, save the [[Eagle Mk II|Eagle]]. In particular, it can out-turn a [[Cobra Mk. III|Cobra]] or [[Anaconda]], stay aimed at subsystems, and still keep enough range to lay down fire. Combined with heavy weaponry like missile pods, the Sidewinder can punch far above its weight. The major disadvantages of the Sidewinder is that it isn't very quick, being outclassed by Eagles, [[Viper Mk III|Vipers]], and Cobras, and that it isn't well armored, being far outclassed by Anacondas and [[Lakon Type 9|Lakon haulers]].

The Sidewinder is thus a master of the knife-fight, but a little weak at a distance. 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 outmaneuver it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that has can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front.

Hauler

2014-08-14T13:31:03Z

81.111.145.50: Added insurance cost.

[[File:Zorgon_Peterson_Hauler_-_In_flight.png|thumb|400px|Zorgon Peterson Hauler]]The '''Zorgon Peterson Hauler''', more commonly known as just "The Hauler" is a light freighter designed to give pilots a ship with a sizeable cargo hold for a relatively low price. This is countered by the Hauler featuring only one weapon hardpoint making it very weak in combat.
