It is one of the smallest fighters available with jump capability. It has the distinction of being the only ship that has been so successful versions have been built for both the Federation and Imperial navies. This role has been superseded by the respective navies' short range fighter programmes, but the Eagle still sees extensive service across human space. Core Dynamics are no longer building these ships, but do still provide part and servicing due to their popularity.|In-game description}}
The '''Imperial Eagle '''was added in the v1.4 update [[CQC]] on October 6th, 2015. The concept art image was shown during Frontier's Q&A session at [[Lavecon]] 2015 and it is variant of the [[Eagle MkII]]; also known as '''Eagle MkIII'''. It is faster than the Eagle MkII at the cost of a lower manoeuvrability.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/228 Dev Update (16/07/2015)]</ref>

It boasts superior armour and shield strength in addition to one medium [[Hardpoint]] replacing one of the three small on the regular Eagle MkII. It is the third fastest ship in the game, with only the [[Cobra MkIII]] and the [[Imperial Clipper|Clipper]] being faster.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: a single medium hardpoint on the top of the ship behind the cockpit and two small ones mounted side-by-side on the underside of the main fuselage in front of the bump that contains the cargo scoop.

According to the Powerplay players' guide, all Imperial ships can be found on Zemira Torval controled systems (Not exploited systems, just controled ones), Tested on Jan 3rd, 2015 and all the 4 imperial ships were found in Zeterat System (Skjellerup Terminal), and Amphisatsu System (Goldberg Orbital). <ref>[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1A7K-q-n5GUjTdJE8WEm5ULsZ064bwHRPktN1eAub3Q0/present#slide=id.p Powerplay Players' Guide 1.02] (Slide 20)</ref>

{{quote|Another classic design that has survived the centuries. The first vessel was constructed in 2700 by Whatt and Pritney Ship Constructions. With the demise of the company and after various mergers and takeovers the ship design is now owned by Faulcon deLacy. The ship remains the slow and sturdy craft it was originally famous for and some smaller navies still use this class as a patrol cruiser (although tiny compared to the Imperial Interdictors and Federal Battle cruisers).|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, boasting considerable manoeuvrability for its hulking size. Despite being exceptionally powerful and potentially useful in a variety of roles, the Python does suffer from exceptionally high operating costs, making it a potentially cost-prohibitive option for many pilots.

It is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, manoeuvrability, and protection currently available. In addition to being capable of holding its own against the larger [[Anaconda]] in a toe-to-toe frontal battle through its substantial protection and firepower, the {{PAGENAME}}''' '''is generally agile enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turret mounts.

The {{PAGENAME}} can also serve as a heavily armed freighter in that it can carry 284 T of cargo with a class 3 [[shield]] module fitted, or 292 T with no shield fitted, both of which is more cargo than the [[Type-7 Transporter]] can carry without shields fitted. Additionally, besides being able to carry more cargo while retaining shields, the {{PAGENAME}} can dock at [[Outpost]]s since it utilizes medium sized landing pads. However, the downside to trading with a {{PAGENAME}} is its higher repair/maintenance costs and its shorter jump range when fully loaded.

The weapon hard points are located as follows: 1 medium and 1 large hardpoint on the top of the ship slightly behind and on both sides of the cockpit for a total of 2 large and 2 medium on upper surface, and 1 large hardpoint on the underside of the ship about where the cockpit is located. The under the nose mounted large hardpoint has good vertical field of fire when gimbaled or turreted (considering its location) which gives the Python a good field of fire where all weapon hardpoints can track and hit a target (when gimbaled or turreted).

Supercruise

2015-06-15T00:33:13Z

97.124.103.112: /* Entering Supercruise */

ise is a method of "fast travel" within planetary systems. A ship that is in Supercruise is using its [[Frame Shift Drive]] to accelerate to speeds from 30 kilometers-per-second to superluminal (faster-than-light), allowing a ship to cross entire solar-systems in a relatively short amount of time.

In Supercruise, speeds are typically measured in multiples of the speed of light, represented as '''C''' or in Megameters, represented as '''Mm '''(1C = 300Mm/s). A ship that is traveling at 1c is therefore traveling at the speed of light. Speeds in Supercruise are highly dependent on distance from bodies of mass, and achieving higher speeds is only possible by distancing oneself from large bodies of mass.

It should be noted that in [[Elite: Dangerous]], FTL travel is not subject to relativity; a ship's frame of time is always the same as to the surrounding universe.

==Entering Supercruise==
[[File:Elite_Dangerous_Tutorial_Fast_Supercruise_Travel|right|thumb]]
# Select target that is in-system through the Navigation Panel
# Use the Supercruise button (default is <code>J</code>) - Supercruise will be engaged
# Once the [[Frame Shift Drive|FSD]] is charged, throttle up to engage Supercruise
# Use flight controls to navigate as usual
# Keep an eye on where your Target Information is displayed - Try to get the vertical orange lines within the blue sections at the same time
# Press the Supercruise button again to disengage Supercruise mode

==Exiting Supercruise==
There are a number of circumstances under which Supercruise may be exited, but they all fall under two general categories: Safe Disengage and Emergency Drop.

===Safe Disengage===
The following circumstances end Supercruise in a Safe Disengage. In all cases, the Frame Shift Drive has a safety cooldown of 10 seconds before it may be charged again and the act of ending Supercruise does not damage any part of the ship.

# Pressing the Supercruise button while traveling slower than 1 Mm/s. Without a Destination Lock (see below), the ship simply drops to normal flight wherever the Supercruise button was pressed.
# Destination Lock: if the ship has a targeted destination, that destination is within a cone ahead of the ship, the destination is less than 1 Mm away, and the ship is moving slower than 1 Ms/s, then pressing the Supercruise button will drop the ship to normal flight somewhere within several kilometers of the destination.
# Submitting to Interdiction: Going to zero throttle during Supercruise while simultaneously being the target of an FSD Interdiction. Note that this is also a Safe Disengage for whoever is committing the interdiction.
# Crossing an "IMPACT" surface while traveling slower than 1 Mm/s. All planetary, stellar, and singular objects are surrounded by a spherical impact surface. Planetary rings are also surrounded by impact surfaces, but these surfaces are not spherical.

===Emergency Drop===
The following circumstances end Supercruise in an Emergency Drop. In all cases, the ship's hull and all modules take 1% to 2% damage (without exception) and the Frame Shift Drive has a safety cooldown of 40 seconds (unless otherwise noted).

# Pressing the Supercruise button twice in rapid succession while traveling faster than 1 Mm/s. Pressing once only gives a warning that a Safe Disengage is not possible.
# Successful Interdiction: If the target of an FSD Interdiction fails to evade or submit, then both the interdictor and the target suffer an Emergency Drop.
# Failed Interdiction: If the target of an FSD Interdiction successfully evades interdiction, then the interdictor (but not the target) suffers an Emergency Drop.
# Crossing an "IMPACT" surface while traveling faster than 1 Mm/s. This case invokes a 10-second cooldown instead of a 40-second cooldown.

==Notes==
* Use [[Hyperspace]] when traveling to other systems.
* Maximum Supercruise speed is determined by the proximity to stellar bodies and the direction the ship is heading relative to the stellar body.
** Heading towards a stellar body will decrease maximum speed while heading away will increase maximum speed.
* Supercruise cannot be engaged if the ship is Mass Locked (i.e. too close to a large body of mass such as stations or planets) or if it has anything deployed (such as [[Landing Gear]], [[Cargo Scoop]], or Hardpoints).
* The blue lines in Supercruise are indicators of a planet - As the circles spread outwards from the center your ship is getting closer.
* The orange lines in Supercruise are indicators of stellar body orbits.
* You can not use Supercruise to travel between systems. Attempting to do so just takes your ship to a dummy marker (floating in empty space) for that solar system. You can neither see, nor interact with, any of the objects in that other solar system until you commit a proper hyperspace jump.

==Trivia==
* Maximum Supercruise speed (when not affected by stellar bodies) is 2,001c and takes 57 min to reach.[[File:From_HR_7729_to_HIP_99940.jpg|thumb|Supercruised to another system.]]
** It would take 4h 22m 51s to travel 1 light year at maximum Supercruise speed.
* Using Supercruise to travel between system will just get the targeted distance from the starting system.
