{{Quote|A mainstay superiority fighter. The F63 Condor has an excellent track record of prosecuting Federal interests. The short range craft deployed by capital class vessels, provides effective point-defence and strike capability. Typically deployed in numbers to offset their lack of defensive capability.|Blueprint Description<ref>[http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/File:Image_Blueprint_F63-Condor.png F63 Condor blueprint]</ref>}}
The '''F63 Condor''' is a [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] produced by [[Core Dynamics]] for the [[Federation]]. The mainstay superiority fighter of the [[Federal Navy]], the F63 Condor balances speed, durability, and firepower. It is deployed both by Federation [[Capital Ships]] and smaller vessels capable of supporting a [[Vessel Hangar]], and is intended to swarm enemy targets in large numbers. For pilots looking for a fighter that is balanced between the [[Taipan]] and the [[Gu-97]], the F63 Condor is a solid choice. It is also one of the four vessels permitted in the [[CQC Championship]].


[[File:Image_Blueprint_F63-Condor.png|thumb|400px|Blueprint layout of the F63 Condor]]
==Overview==
The F63 Condor only has moderate agility and defenses, but is noted for its high straight-line speed, contrasting with the [[Gu-97]], which prioritizes agility, and the [[Taipan]], which is designed for durability. The Condor thus fills a third niche among Ship-Launched Fighters as a strike craft that can move in, hit hard, and then outrun any pursuers. The F63 Condor supports two small [[hardpoint]]s and at least one utility mount, but is unique in that it is the only SLF model that can mount [[Multi-cannon]]s, allowing it to inflict more hull damage than other options.


The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the mainstay superiority fighter of the [[Federation]] Intervention fleet. Deployed locally by Federation capital vessels, the Condor is meant to fly in large numbers to make up for the lack of its defensive capabilities; it tends, as seen in Conflict Zones, to fly unshielded. Its small size and manoeuvrability is what makes it hard to hit, and it can be assumed to be very cheap to mass produce due to its size. The F63 Condor also has two [[hardpoint]]s.
As an SLF, the F63 Condor does not possess a [[Frame Shift Drive]], and thus cannot jump to [[Supercruise]] or [[Hyperspace]]. Its operational area is limited to the vicinity of its deployment point, such as a station, outpost, carrier, or ship-mounted [[Vessel Hangar]].


The F63 Condor is currently not flyable by players, but it is believed that it will become a flyable ship at some point in the game's future.
The F63 Condor is flyable in the [[CQC Championship]], and is a part of the starter (Rank 1) loadout. It comes with two pulse lasers and a [[Chaff Launcher]] as default.


Shown in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=41&v=jG5J5hCAC4c Xbox One launch trailer], the F63 Condor will be flyable for the first time. This will be available only for Xbox One players for the moment, a free update will come later in the year for PC & Mac.
==Variants==
The F63 Condor is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility module, and slightly in the top and boost speed. It is the only fighter available with kinetic weapons. F-variants have fixed weapons and G-variants have gimballed weapons.
