The '''Anaconda''' is a ponderous yet highly versatile vessel that excels in multiple roles. At a cost of over 146 million [[Credits]], it is the third most expensive ship available, behind only the [[Federal Corvette]] and the [[Imperial Cutter]]. While the Federal Corvette is specialized for combat, and the Imperial Cutter is a multipurpose ship with exceptional cargo capacity, the Anaconda can be competitively adapted for combat or trading as necessary. It also currently has the highest potential jump range of all ships after [[Engineers|Engineering]], making it a superb choice for long-distance journeys.
The '''Anaconda''' is a ponderous yet highly versatile vessel that excels in multiple roles. At a cost of over 146 million [[Credits]], it is the third most expensive ship in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', behind only the [[Federal Corvette]] and the [[Imperial Cutter]]. While the Federal Corvette is specialized for combat, and the Imperial Cutter is a multipurpose ship, the Anaconda fulfills a similar role as the Cutter as a mulitrole ship. It is also good for long distance journeys because of its great range without needing refuelling.


==Overview==
==Overview==
The Anaconda's bridge is located on the top of the ship roughly at its midpoint. The pilot's station is positioned at the center of the bridge, with 2 co-pilot seats on either side. The canopy offers a wide horizontal field of view (more than 180 degrees), however the canopy's widths are tapered off to either side, limiting vertical field of view. The ship's nose also obstructs view underneath the ship. In a combat scenario, 2 large hardpoints and 2 utility mounts are deployed directly in front of the bridge, which can obstruct the pilot's view when they fire.

Boasting an array of weapon [[hardpoint]]s, the Anaconda is a formidable [[combat]] ship capable of holding its own against multiple opponents. It, the [[Fer-de-Lance]], the Federal Corvette, and the Imperial Cutter are the only [[ships]] capable of equipping the powerful Class 4 weaponry. The weapon hardpoint locations are as follows: Two Class 3 Large hardpoints top mounted side-by-side to each other in front of the cockpit and about 1/3 the ship length back from the front tip with slightly blocked aft line of sight. One Class 2 Medium hardpoint side mounted on each side near the front tip of the ship (2x Class 2 medium hardpoints total) with decent lines of sight. One Class 3 Large hardpoint mounted on the underside of the ship, near the tip of the ship, with somewhat blocked aft line of sight. One Class 4 Huge hardpoint mounted on the underside of the ship at about 1/3 of the ship length back from the front tip, mounted slightly lower than the underside class 3 hardpoint, with nearly uninterrupted forward and below lines of sight and somewhat blocked aft lines of sight. Two Class 1 Small hardpoints mounted on the underside of the ship, side-by-side to each other, at the very back of the rectangular Cargo bay area, with nearly uninterrupted lines of sight in all underside directions but have limited firing arc convergence with the top mounted hardpoints, namely in front of the ship. As of the release of [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|Horizons]]: Guardians it became one of the 7 ships compatible with [[Fighter_Hangar|fighter hangar]] module for docking [[Ship-Launched_Fighters|ship-launched fighters]].

Defensively, the Anaconda is extremely sturdy when customized for survivability. It has 8 utility mounts, the highest amount of any ship in the game; and its potent Class 8 power plant allows a [[Shield Generator]], a [[Shield Cell Bank]] and multiple [[Shield Booster]]s to be activated simultaneously and still have enough leftover to power the weapons and other systems. Even should the shield fail, the Anaconda has a base armor hitpoint of 945, the highest of any ship in the game, and the large number of optional internal compartments give plenty of room to install [[Hull Reinforcement Package]]s or [[Module Reinforcement Package]]s to stack even more protection. Last but not least, should the need to retreat arise, the Anaconda has a mass lock factor of 23, meaning most ships would not be able to slow down its FSD charging process.

Even should the shield fail, the Anaconda has a base armor hitpoint of 945, the second highest of any ship in the game, after the Type-10 Defender, and the large number of optional internal compartments give plenty of room to install [[Hull Reinforcement Package]]s or [[Module Reinforcement Package]]s to stack even more protection. The max amount of hull armor highpoint is 6,137.5 without visiting an engineer. However, with engineering, the Anaconda can have an armor of 9,821.5, the most of any ship. Last but not least, should the need to retreat arise, the Anaconda has a mass lock factor of 23, meaning most ships would not be able to slow down its FSD charging process.


The Anaconda is also a popular choice for explorers, since its hull is relatively light considering its massive size, and it has a class 6 internal module slot for the [[Frame Shift Drive]], allowing it to achieve moderate jump range. Its jump range is not as great as dedicated exploration vessels such as the [[Diamondback Explorer]], but it can cover a much greater distance before needing to refuel, thus making it overall faster on long journeys. Explorers can also use the high number of optional internal compartments to accommodate the various modules needed for exploration such as [[Advanced Discovery Scanner|scanners]], [[Fuel Scoop|fuel scoop]] and [[Auto Field-Maintenance Unit]]s.

Overall the Anaconda is ideal for veteran pilots of all trades who have a large sum of credits at their disposal but don't have high rankings with either of the superpowers. The only downsides of the ship are its sub par speed and maneuverability, as well as the cost to upgrade and maintain the ship: prices for less essential modules will easily exceed 1 million credits, whereas more important modules are priced in the tens or hundreds of millions of credits each. The repair fees for the Anaconda are also relatively high, since repair costs are calculated based on the purchase price of the ship and its modules. It is usually cheaper to repair an Anaconda's modules using an Auto Field-Maintenance Unit.

Due to the location of the Cargo Hatch on the Anaconda, deploying an SRV from Horizons will cause the SRV to fall the distance to the ground, or in the case of boarding it will cause the SRV to float upwards. Due to the Hatch location it can also be difficult to get the SRV in the correct position to board, transfer cargo, etc.

The Anaconda has an available 16 piece cosmetic [[Ship Kit#Ship Kits|Ship Kit]] that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/anaconda-ship-kit-16-pieces.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style".
