The Adder is a small multipurpose ship, excellent as a bridge between the [[Sidewinder MkI]] and the [[Cobra MkIII]]. The Adder is the cheapest ship with a medium-sized hardpoint. In addition to being a potentially viable dogfighter in combat with increased armour hardness at the cost of lowered maneuverability, the Adder has the distinction of being the least expensive ship capable of mounting a Class II [[Mining Laser]], making it a potentially useful starting point for aspiring miners. The Adder's respectable jump range of over 30 LY also makes it a capable exploration vessel, and its' maximum cargo capacity of 30 t makes it the largest cargo-capacity trading vessel that costs less than 100,000 CR.
The '''Adder''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It is a small yet sturdy multipurpose ship known for its reliability. As the cheapest ship with a Class 2 [[hardpoint]] and an [[Armour Hardness]] on par with the [[Cobra MkIII]], the Adder is a viable early choice for [[combat]]. The hardpoint also gives the Adder the distinction of being the cheapest ship capable of mounting a Class 2 [[Mining Laser]], making it a serviceable vessel for [[Miner|mining]]. Furthermore, it has a relatively high jump range potential for its size and price range, and can carry up to 30 tonnes of cargo, allowing it to tackle [[Explorer|exploration]] and [[Trader|trading]] with ease. The Adder's adaptability and price make it ideal for new pilots seeking to upgrade from the [[Sidewinder MkI]].

As a [[Trader]] the Adder is the best ship available until the [[Cobra MkIII]] becomes an option. With 26T of space available when unshielded it can make a decent profit from selling cargo and allows for a lot more trading [[missions]] to become accessible. Unlike the [[Hauler]], it also retains good combat efficiency and has decent armor for its price; letting it tank hits. Finally, it has good manoeuvrability, allowing it to dodge an [[interdiction]] with ease, and it is capable of [[Mass Lock|mass locking]] several small ships.
