Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It possesses the highest base shield and armor hitpoints out of all small sized ships; it has very good internal compartments (even better than the much more expensive [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Fer-de-Lance Fer-de-Lance]); and its number of utility mounts is 4, the same as larger ships such as [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Python Python] and [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Federal_Gunship Federal Gunship] . However, there is a catch: the Vulture is held back by its limited power capacity, which greatly limits viable loadout choices and encourages smart [[module priority control]]. 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.
