The '''F63 Condor''' is a [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] | 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]]. | ||

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 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 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. | The F63 Condor is flyable in the [[CQC Championship]], and is a part of the starter (Rank 1) loadout.
