At a base cost of almost 147 million credits, the '''Anaconda''' used to be the most expensive ship in [[Elite Dangerous]], until the [[Federal Corvette]] and the [[Imperial Cutter]] took that title when they were added. It is a slow but enormous vessel that ~~has feasibility with~~ all roles: combat, exploration and trading, and was the pinnacle of a late game ship. As it stands the Anaconda is now the third most expensive ship, but it doesn't have any rank requirements with the [[Federation]] or the [[Empire]] associated with it and is therefore easier to acquire than the [[Federal Corvette]] or the [[Imperial Cutter]]. Of the ships able to be piloted by a player in the game, the Anaconda is currently the fifth largest in volume and the fourth longest, being surpassed in length and volume by the [[Federal Corvette]], [[Imperial Cutter]] and [[Beluga Liner]], and in volume by the [[Type-9 Heavy]].

At a base cost of almost 147 million credits, the '''Anaconda''' used to be the most expensive ship in [[Elite Dangerous]], until the [[Federal Corvette]] and the [[Imperial Cutter]] took that title when they were added.

The ~~cockpit~~ is located on the top of the ship roughly in its midpoint. The pilot's station is positioned at the center of the ~~ship~~. It features an open design, providing great viewing ~~angle~~ both up and to the sides from the horizontal position. However the ship's nose obstructs view underneath the ship, which makes docking somewhat difficult. The cockpit is also located directly behind 2 large hardpoints and 2 utilities mounts, which can distract the pilot's view in a combat scenario when they fire.

The ship's bridge is located on the top of the ship roughly in its midpoint. The pilot's station is positioned at the center of the bridge, with 2 copilot seats on either side (currently they are cosmetic only). The bridge features an open design, providing great viewing angles both up and to the sides from the horizontal position. However the ship's nose obstructs view underneath the ship, which makes docking somewhat difficult. The cockpit is also located directly behind 2 large hardpoints and 2 utilities mounts, which can distract the pilot's view in a combat scenario when they fire.

Boasting an array of weapon [[hardpoint]]s, this ship is a formidable [[combat]] ship capable of holding its own against multiple opponents. It, the [[Fer-de-Lance]], the Federal Corvette, and the Imperial Cutter are the only [[ships]] capable of equipping the powerful Class 4 weaponry. The weapon hardpoint locations are as follows: Two Class 3 Large hardpoints top mounted side-by-side to each other in front of the cockpit and about 1/3 the ship length back from the front tip with slightly blocked aft line of sight. One Class 2 Medium hardpoint side mounted on each side near the front tip of the ship (2x Class 2 medium hardpoints total) with decent lines of sight. One Class 3 Large hardpoint mounted on the underside of the ship, near the tip of the ship, with somewhat blocked aft line of sight. One Class 4 Huge hardpoint mounted on the underside of the ship at about 1/3 of the ship length back from the front tip, mounted slightly lower than the underside class 3 hardpoint, with nearly uninterrupted forward and below lines of sight and somewhat blocked aft lines of sight. Two Class 1 Small hardpoints mounted on the underside of the ship, side-by-side to each other, at the very back of the large rectangular Cargo bay shaped area, with nearly uninterrupted lines of sight in all underside directions but have limited firing arc convergence with the top mounted class 3 large hardpoints, namely in front of the ship. Overall the Anaconda is one of the most heavily armed ships in Elite Dangerous, however players may struggle to utilize this effectively because of its lack of maneuverability and power control problems when high level modules are installed. Also of note is that the Anaconda is currently one of the three ships with 8 Utility Hardpoints. As of the release of [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|Horizons]]: Guardians it became one of the 7 ships compatible with hangar bay for docking ship launched fighters.
