{{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.

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]].


==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.


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 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.


==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.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> This is the cost to initially outfit a [[Vessel Hangar]] bay for that fighter type/variant, or to change it to a different fighter type/variant. The cost to restock destroyed fighters is 1,030 CR each.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/58q7cv/everything_you_need_to_know_about_ship_launched/ reddit: Everything you need to know about ship launched fighters]</ref>
