The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]]. | The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]]. Featuring two large (class 3) [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture packs serious firepower into a relatively small frame. Although it lacks top speed compared to other fighters, its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, thus allowing for more agile lateral slides and vertical hops. | ||

The Vulture's main drawback is its limited power capacity, which can be counteracted to a degree by smart [[module priority control]] and sacrifices in the loadout choice. Moreover, the Vulture's power plant is notorious for being prone to malfunctions when taking damage. Unlike most ships' power plant malfunctions which only reduce power output, the Vulture's power plant malfunctions will often cause the ship to be temporarily shut down entirely. | The Vulture's main drawback is its limited power capacity, which can be counteracted to a degree by smart [[module priority control]] and sacrifices in the loadout choice.
