==Overview==
==Overview==
The Eagle is an extremely agile ship; in fact, it has the highest level of manoeuvrability of any ship, excluding [[Ship Launched Fighters]]. Thus, the Eagle is extremely viable for any commander looking to take advantage of mobility and even high-tier ships like the [[Anaconda]] would struggle against a well-trained Eagle pilot due to its ability to stay on the rear of ships; where even Turreted [[hardpoints]] won't have any visibility of the ship. Be advised of ships deploying fighters however and it is highly advised to prioritize these in combat.

Compared to the [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]], the Eagle is a strict upgrade in virtually every aspect. The sidewinder has slightly better base armour but the Eagle has much better combat ability, not to mention better cargo capacity, jump range, damage, hardpoints etc. The Eagle is a great second ship for players to jump to and some even prefer it over the [[Hauler]] for cargo jobs due to its respectable 16T of space.
Compared to the [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]], the Eagle is a strict upgrade in virtually every aspect. The Sidewinder has slightly better base armour but the Eagle has much better combat ability due to its high maneuverability and damage output potential. It also has a higher cargo capacity and jump range. The Eagle is a great second ship for players to upgrade to, and some even prefer it over the [[Hauler]] for cargo jobs due to its respectable 20t of cargo capacity.


The Eagle makes a fantastic [[Bounty Hunter]] or [[Pirate]]. With its manoeuvrability, the Eagle can take on most adversaries and with three Class 1 hardpoints the Eagle is capable of dealing formidable damage and its high manoeuvrability means it is brilliant at both Interdicting and dodging [[Interdiction]]s making it great for shieldless trading. Defensively, however, the eagle has paper thin armor, dying to sustained fire from even a Sidewinder. Thus, the manoeuverability of the ship is critical in avoiding hits. The best defense is not to get hit at all. Thus a shield is recommended and the low shield power encourages the use of a [[Shield Booster]]. The issue with this, however, is that Eagle has only one utility mount, which means going without a [[Kill Warrant Scanner]]. You may wish to instead use a [[Stealth]] build; the Eagle has good heat management and using [[Silent Running]] may make ships unable to ever get a hit on an Eagle; especially if they run Turreted and Gimballed mounts. Be careful as experienced commanders may know how to get around this. The other problem is this strategy requires a [[Chaff Launcher]] which again requires going without a [[Kill Warrant Scanner]].

Its high manoeuvrability means it is brilliant at both interdicting and dodging [[interdiction]]s, making it great for shieldless trading. Defensively, however, the Eagle has very little armour and the second lowest [[Armour Hardness|armour hardness]] of all ships, which causes the Eagle to quickly crumble when under sustained fire. Thus, the manoeuverability of the ship is critical in avoiding hits. A shield is highly recommended, and the low shield power encourages the use of a [[Shield Booster]]. The issue with this, however, is that Eagle has only one utility mount, which means forgoing other combat utilities such as the [[Kill Warrant Scanner]]. You may wish to instead use a [[Stealth]] build; the Eagle has good heat management, and using [[Silent Running]] can make it very difficult for opposing ships to land hits, especially if they run Turreted and Gimballed mounts. This isn't a bulletproof strategy, however; experienced commanders may know how to counter it. It's highly recommended to use a [[Chaff Launcher]] with this strategy, but once again, this means forgoing a [[Kill Warrant Scanner]].


As a [[Trader]] or [[Miner]], the Eagle is significantly better than the [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]] in both aspects. However, the [[Hauler]] may be better for traders if not wanting to touch combat, though you may be better off holding out until the [[Adder]] becomes affordable, as it is much better in both aspects while still being viable in combat.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: two Class 1 hardpoints on the underside of main body of ship, and one Class 1 hardpoint on the top of the ship behind the cockpit. The cockpit is one of the smallest in the Eagle's size class. Whether pilots find the confined space either enjoyable or rather claustrophobic, it does have the drawback of reducing overall range of vision.

*In September 2014, [[Frontier Developments]] announced that the Eagle would become a second starting [[Ships|ship]] for all players who had pre-ordered ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', including existing Beta and Kickstarter supporters. This starting Eagle (known as the "Freagle") is located in a [[Station]] outside of the player's starting system and can be flown once the commander travels to the station where it is stored. It can be found by opening the [[Galaxy Map]] and looking for a system with a blue ship icon next to it; the ship will be located in a station within the designated system.
