{{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]].

With its two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small frame. Although it lacks top speed compared to other ships, its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, thus allowing for more powerful lateral slides and vertical hops.

The Vulture's main drawback is its limited power capacity given the two large hardpoints and the excessive amounts of utility mounts and internal compartments on offer, which can be counteracted to a degree by smart [[module priority control]] and sacrifices in the loadout choice.

The two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hulk of the ship. They are well suited for any type of [[weapons|weapon]] mount — fixed, gimballed, or turreted — and capable of shooting at targets even slightly underneath the waterline of the hull. Merely fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets like [[Sidewinder]]s, [[Eagle]]s, or [[Hauler]]s.

{{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 '''Type-9 Heavy''' is a heavy freighter and is one of four freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. Currently it has the second largest cargo capacity of any ship available, and is roughly competitive with the much pricier Anaconda as a trader. Pilots that can afford an [[Anaconda]] frequently prefer them for trading, as they feel the greater FSD range and manoeuvrability makes up for the slightly smaller cargo capacity, allowing the Anaconda to move more cargo more quickly overall, and to a wider variety of destinations. This is at least partly a matter of 'feel', however, and many pilots continue to use the Type 9 as a trader even after obtaining Anacondas.

The Type 9 exhibits worse manoeuvrability and lower speeds than any other ship in the game; it has extreme difficulty in shaking smaller [[ships]] from its blind spot. Its five weapon [[hardpoint]]s, including three medium mounts, allow it at least some defense. Equipped with turrets, they can at least force smaller ships to operate with caution and give the Type 9 a chance to escape, but its shields and armour are nearly as bad for its size as its manoeuvrability. Most combat ships have at least a good chance to take it down if it doesn't get away quickly enough.

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.

Many pilots have problems fitting through the entrance of [[Station]]s while they're first getting used to the Type 9, and it can therefore be very expensive for a new pilot to get used to. A [[Standard Docking Computer]] can be useful for players who have trouble docking this ship.

Type-9 is one of two ships in the game that boasts an open Class 8 internal module (the other one being the [[Imperial Cutter]]), although putting anything but a [[Cargo Rack]] into the Type 9's class-8 module slot eliminates a major portion of its cargo capacity and virtually neutralizes it as a serious trading ship.

It should also be noted that the the type-9 heavy has better manoeuvrability when stopped, even though it isn't very useful in combat, it's handy for docking.
