{{quote|Most pilots start their careers in the Sidewinder. It is a classic ship design that has been in use (in various configurations) since 2982. Its original design was a light support ship and it lacked jump capability. Modern compact drives have enabled jump-capable versions to be created, making this a useful all rounder. Some navies still use these ships as fighters and patrol craft.|In-Game Description}} | |||
The '''Sidewinder MkI''', built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], is a superb multipurpose ship suitable for any role. It is inexpensive and can be used for light transport and [[combat]] duties. Most pilots begin their career in a Sidewinder. | |||
Its manoeuvrability makes it an excellent choice for both green and experienced pilots. The Sidewinder is a dependable vessel that will get you where you need to go, safe and sound.<ref>http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sidewinder_MkI_Blueprint.png</ref> | |||
Uses the [[DeLacy Spin Ionic MV]]. | |||
==Overview== | |||
The Sidewinder is the default craft offered throughout the game. The player starts in one, and if at any time their ship is destroyed they can get a free Sidewinder (lent by [[Pilots Federation]]) if they can't or don't want to replace their previous ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find themselves flying in a Sidewinder for a longer time or going back to it often. | |||
Although the Sidewinder is cheap, it is not harmless; it is among the top when it comes to manoeuvrability compared to other [[ships]]. In particular, it can out-turn most other ships, being topped in that category only by the [[Eagle]], [[Vulture]], and [[Imperial Courier]], and has solid lateral thrust. | |||
It is, however, one of the slowest-moving and weakest-hulled ships in the game; only the [[Anaconda]] and certain pure trade ships have slower maximum speeds, and only the Eagle has a weaker hull (but makes up for it with stronger shields.) | |||
The Sidewinder is therefore an acceptable ship in a (figurative) knife-fight, but lacks firepower. When flying one, using its excellent turning to lock opponents into circling matches, and burning away opposite of the enemy to escape are advised tactics. When fighting a Sidewinder, keep it at range and lay down heavy fire if the current ship can't outmanoeuvre it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front. | |||
The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 2 small hardpoints in front of cockpit on upper surface of ship. | |||
The Sidewinder MkI has an available 16 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay. | |||
== Lore == | |||
The official [https://d1wv0x2frmpnh.cloudfront.net/elite/website/assets/English-PlayersGuide_v2.20-TheGuardians.pdf Elite Dangerous Player's Guide] explains the lore behind why players start with a loaned Sidewinder: | |||
Every player starts as a new member of the [[Pilots Federation]]. After being notified of your successful membership a secret benefactor has a transmission delivered to you with a secure code. It gives you access to a starship account that's preconfigured with your credentials. This is how you gain an indefinitely loaned and insured Sidewinder.<ref>https://d1wv0x2frmpnh.cloudfront.net/elite/website/assets/English-PlayersGuide_v2.20-TheGuardians.pdf</ref> | |||
Behind this windfall is a secret organisation which seeks those with the potential to become real movers and shakers who can mould and shape the [[galaxy]]. This gift is a test so they can see whether you have those qualities. | |||
== Purchase Locations == | |||
The Sidewinder can be purchased at nearly any shipyard. | |||
