At a base cost of almost 147 million credits, the '''Anaconda''' used to be the most expensive ship in [[Elite Dangerous]], until the [[Federal Corvette]] and the [[Imperial Cutter]] were introduced, and due to its feasibility with all roles (combat, exploration and trading) was the epitome of a late game ship. As it stands the Anaconda is now the third most expensive ship, but it doesn't have any rank requirements with the [[Federation]] or the [[Empire]] associated with it and is therefore easier to acquire than the [[Federal Corvette]] or the [[Imperial Cutter]]. Of the ships able to be piloted by a player in the game, the Anaconda is currently the fifth largest in volume and the fourth longest, being surpassed in size by the [[Federal Corvette]], [[Imperial Cutter]] and [[Beluga Liner]] in length and volume, and by the [[Type-9 Heavy]] in volume only. | |||
The cockpit is located on the top of the ship roughly in its midpoint. The pilot's station is positioned at the center of the ship. It features an open design, providing great viewing angle both up and to the sides from the horizontal position. However the ship's nose obstructs view underneath the ship, which makes docking somewhat difficult. The cockpit is also located directly behind 2 large hardpoints and 2 utilities mounts, which can distract the pilot's view in a combat scenario when they fire. | The cockpit is located on the top of the ship roughly in its midpoint.
