==Overview History ==
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 ===
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 ==
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.
 
Line 58 ⟶ 65:
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>.

== 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.

* An [[Anaconda Graveyard]] is located on HD 76133 (Elysium's Rest) ~ Planet 1 C ~ 23.488 / 81.934 ~ 0.18G. There is also an Anaconda [[Shipwreck]] turned into a base on HR 5906 AB.
