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 silhouette 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 debut 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|Railguns require the trigger to be held to charge the weapon before firing. The weapon will fire automatically when the charge is complete, but fail to fire if the trigger is released early. Rail slugs are effective at ship hull penetration.|In-Game Description}}

A Railgun is a very powerful electromagnetic projectile weapon. It requires a large amount of power to use it, compared to other weapons, but can cause a devastating amount of damage to the target. This weapon has a high heat signature when used.

Railguns are available as fixed mounted only weapons and thus it can be very difficult to hit specific ship subsystems. This weapon's damage can range considerably from 0 to 80% damage to the target ship's hull depending on the target ship type. It takes about an eighth of a second to charge and fire which can adversely affect the accuracy.

==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.

Each shot costs 200 CR per unit.
