The '''Anaconda''' is a large [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. A ponderous yet highly versatile vessel that excels in multiple roles, the Anaconda was originally produced by RimLiner Galactic and debuted in 2856. It's one of the most iconic vessels since the original debuted in [[Elite|Elite (1984)]].<ref name=":0">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/september-2026-dev-log-law-disorder-first-details-anaconda-mk-ii-revealed September 2026 Dev Log | Law & Disorder First Details & Anaconda Mk II Revealed] - 24 September 2026 - Elite Dangerous</ref>
The '''Anaconda''' is a ponderous yet highly versatile vessel that excels in multiple roles. With a base cost just shy of 147 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, mining, trading, or exploration as necessary. It also has the highest potential jump range after [[Engineers|Engineering]], making it the best choice for long-distance journeys.
 
==Overview==
Boasting 8 weapon [[hardpoint]]s, the Anaconda is a formidable [[combat]] ship. It, the [[Fer-de-Lance]], the [[Federal Corvette]], the [[Imperial Cutter]], and the [[Mamba]] are the only [[ships]] capable of equipping powerful Class 4 weaponry. Turreted and gimballed mounts are recommended due to the ship's low manoeuvrability.
 
Defensively, the Anaconda is extremely sturdy when customized for survivability. It has 8 utility mounts, tied for the highest 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 whilst still having enough output leftover to comfortably power the weapons and other systems. Even if the shields fail, the Anaconda has a base armor strength of 945 and a large number of optional internal compartments give plenty of room to install [[Hull Reinforcement Package|Hull]] or [[Module Reinforcement Package]]s to stack even more protection. Optimizing for hull/armour strength allows a maximum of 6,137.5 without [[Engineers|Engineering]], or 10,755 with, the most of any ship. Last but not least, should the need to retreat arise, the Anaconda's mass lock factor of 23 means it can be masslocked only by itself, a Federal Corvette, Imperial Cutter or a Type-10, so it can escape from other vessels with relative ease.
 
== History ==
Statistically speaking, the Anaconda is the single best exploration ship in the game. With a staggering jump range of 41.45lys before engineering, it can easily jump massive distances. What puts it above ships like [[Diamondback Explorer]] is its larger optional internal capacity (allowing more freedom in terms of AFMUs and SRVS) and its ludicrous jump range, topping out at 84lys if every possible measure is taken to maximize its range. It has a large supply of internal compartments as well and can also equip very small shields, letting explorers take along a bit of protection from bumps and scratches. Its large fuel tank and ability to fit a Class 7 [[Fuel Scoop]] top it off as an impressive vessel for exploration. However, the Diamondback Explorer has slightly better range without engineering, as well as a much lower price and rebuy, and a much smaller footprint for landing in rough terrain. Some [[trader]]s make use of the Anaconda due to its high jump range and decent cargo capacity; however, at only 468T of cargo, it is surpassed by several other large ships such as Lakon's [[Type-9 Heavy]] & [[Type-10 Defender]], the [[Federal Corvette]], and the [[Imperial Cutter]], making it the least effective ship in its price range.
The Anaconda was first produced by RimLiner Galactic and debuted in 2856. It's also one of the most iconic vessels of [[Elite|Elite (1984)]].<ref name=":0" /> The blueprint eventually came into Faulcon DeLacy's possession after several mergers. Only minor changes were made to the classic design.
 
=== The Big Three ===
The Anaconda makes for a fantastic [[miner]]; with a large amount of potential [[Mining Laser]]s as well as lots of space for Limpets and cargo holds not to mention the ability to mount a Fighter Hangar and great self defense, the Anaconda fits the role very well.
It was considered by the independent pilot community as one of "The Big Three". It was the third, most expensive ship on the market behind the [[Federal Corvette]] and the [[Imperial Cutter]]. However, the release of the [[Panther Clipper Mk II]] and [[Caspian Explorer]] moved it to fifth place. The Federal Corvette is specialized for combat, the Imperial Cutter is a multirole ship with exceptional cargo capacity, while the Anaconda is a jack-of-all-trades. It's competitively adaptable for [[combat]], [[Miner|mining]], [[Trader|trading]], or [[Explorer|exploration]]. The Anaconda serves as a light cruiser or frigate in some navies. It has one of the highest potential jump ranges after [[Engineers|engineering]], making it a popular choice for long-distance journeys. DeLacy launched the reimagined successor, [[Anaconda Mk II]], on 20 October 3312.<ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-october-dev-log-2026-law-disorder Elite Dangerous: October Dev Log 2026 | Law & Disorder] - 14 October 2026</ref>
 
== Overview ==
Overall, the Anaconda fulfills its purpose as a multi-role ship extremely well, and is only surpassed by ships dedicated to a role. The major downsides of the ship are its sub par speed and maneuverability, as well as the cost for outfitting and maintenance: prices for less essential modules will easily exceed 1 million credits, and the most expensive modules (particularly the power plant) can run you upwards of a hundred million credits. 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, and so it is usually cheaper to repair an Anaconda's modules using an Auto Field-Maintenance Unit. As total outfitting costs can exceed half a billion credits, hunting for discounts is strongly recommended.
The Anaconda offers a highly generalized hull and internal layout, which allows it to be adapted for a wide variety of roles, including exploration, trading, mining, and combat operations.
 
[[File:Convergence anaconda.png|thumb|250px|Anaconda hardpoints convergence]]
The Anaconda's bridge is located on the top of the ship roughly at its midpoint. The pilot's seat is positioned in the center of the bridge, with 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.
The vessel is equipped with a total of eight [[Hardpoint]]s. A single Huge hardpoint is located on the ventral side of the hull, positioned alongside one Large hardpoint. The two Small hardpoints are also on the ventral side, but further back. Two additional Large hardpoints are situated on the dorsal hull, while two Medium hardpoints are mounted on the port and starboard sides. Additionally, the Anaconda possesses eight utility mounts and it supports the installation of a [[Fighter Hangar]] to deploy [[Ship-Launched Fighters]].
 
The Anaconda's bridge is located on the top of the ship roughly at its midpoint. The pilot's seat is positioned in the centre of the bridge, with one co-pilot seat to the right and two more on the left. The [[Ship Canopy|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 the view underneath the ship. In a combat scenario, two Class 3 hardpoints and two utility mounts are deployed directly in front of the bridge, which can obstruct the pilot's view when they fire. Turreted weapons have special mounts that will obscure your view further.
The weapon hardpoint locations are as follows: two Class 3 hardpoints are mounted parallel on the top of the bow; the third is located underneath the nose. Its Class 4 hardpoint is mounted behind the bottom Large, and the two Class 2 hardpoints are embedded in the sides of the ship, hidden beneath sliding panels emblazoned with the Faulcon DeLacy emblem. Finally, two additional Class 1 hardpoints are mounted on the underside of the ship, far back. With the release of ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]]: The Guardians'', the Anaconda gained the ability to mount a [[Fighter Hangar]] to launch [[Ship-Launched Fighters]].
 
A defining characteristic of the Anaconda is its notably low base hull mass relative to its overall size. This structural trait, when combined with specific modules and engineering selections, affords it one of the highest potential jump ranges of any ship, making it a prominent choice for deep-space [[Explorer#Ships|exploration]] and long-haul travel. Its bulk restricts it to large landing pads however, and has low manoeuvrability in both normal space flight<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UKvWx-Po1erSwAFomEpSJvB5vRbYn_A2t0T9lNhMst0/htmlview Ship agility statistics (Google Docs)]</ref> and [[supercruise]]<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/supercruise-handling-of-ships.396845/ Supercruise handling]</ref>.
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], allowing you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay in any way.

== Notes ==
* The Anaconda is somewhat unusual in that it features two [[Cargo Hatch]]es; the primary Cargo Hatch is located towards the front of the vessel, whilst the secondary is located towards the rear of the vessel, behind the Fighter Bay. The forward/primary Hatch is used to manually scoop items from space and to deploy [[SRV]]s, whilst the rear/secondary Hatch is used by [[Limpet Controller/Collector|Collector Limpets]] when retrieving canisters or materials; when the Cargo Scoop is toggled, only the forward/primary Hatch will be lowered.
* Due to the location of the Cargo Hatch on the Anaconda, deploying an SRV will cause the SRV to fall the distance to the ground, or in the case of boarding 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. and using the handbrake may be necessary on uneven terrain.
* Prior to a patch, the Anaconda's cargoCargo hatchHatch would open directly in front of one of its lower hardpoints, causing clipping issues.
* The Anaconda is the only ship in the game to visually show damage to its hull, with pieces of its armour coming off and more damage being shown as its hull health lowers. This is purely cosmetic and it is unknown if it is planned to be added to other ships.
* When using a [[Standard Docking Computer]] or [[Advanced Docking Computer]] at starports[[Starport]]s, the shipventral side of the Anaconda will sometimes scratchbrush against the entrance slot. This doesn'tdoes seemnot appear to cause any damage, howevereven if shields are not equipped.
* An [[Anaconda Graveyard]] is located on HD 76133 (Elysium's Rest) ~ Planet 1 C ~ 23.488 / 81.934 ~ 0.18G. There's is also an Anaconda [[Shipwreck]] turned into a base on HR 5906 AB.
