The Taipan Fighter is a fighter included in the Elite Dangerous: Horizons 2.2 update.[1] The Taipan is a Ship Launcher Fighter that can be deployed from a Fighter Hangar module. Of the three fighters, the Taipan is not as fast as the Condor nor as maneuverable as the Imperial, but it does have the most armor and shields.
The Taipan short-range fighter is Lakon's response to the success of Core Dynamic’s F-63 Condor and the Imperial Fighter designed by Gutamaya Shipyards for the Imperial Navy. The export restrictions on those models has left a wide gap in the market that Lakon intends to exploit with the Taipan.
