The '''Eagle MkII''' is an agile fighter sporting 3 weapon [[hardpoint]]s. It is the most manoeuvrable ship currently in the game, as well as being the cheapest combat-specialized vessel. However, it suffers from a short [[hyperspace]] range, as well as a tendency to overheat and run out of weapons power.

In September 2014 [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]] announced that the Eagle would become a second starting [[Ships|ship]] for all players who had pre-ordered [[Elite Dangerous]], including existing Beta and Kickstarter supporters. This starting Eagle (known as the "Freagle") is located in a [[Station]] outside of the player's starting system and can be flown once the commander travels to the station where it is stored. The Eagle can be found by opening the [[Galaxy Map]] and looking for a system with a blue ship icon next to it; the ship will be located in a station within the designated system.

Some players aspiring to be [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]] may use the Eagle as a cheaper alternative to the [[Viper MkIII|Viper]]. While this is a valid strategy for bounty hunting, keep in mind that the Eagle, while very agile, has a very weak hull so fitting [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cells]] is strongly advised for an Eagle wielding bounty hunter.
