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 its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, its powerful lateral thrusters make the ship as one of the most maneuverable in the game. Its two hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hull of the ship. Due to the spacing between the hardpoints, a loadout of two fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets.

Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, it's a contender for the most maneuverable ship in the game owing to its powerful lateral thrusters and extremely powerful engines relative to the ship's mass, only being out-turned by smaller, less armed ships.

The Vulture has two manned stations. The pilot's station is on the centerline of the ship. The auxiliary station is offset to the port side above and behind the pilot's station.
