The Vulture is a dedicated heavy fighter. It flies much like a heftier Eagle in that its manoeuvrability is superb and its weapons pack a punch, but similar to the Eagle's drawbacks the Vulture can run into power issues and can be outrun by many other ships.
Good at dogfighting, this ship can hold its own, but many pilots will probably have a hard time fighting anything larger than a Python.
