Defensively, the Anaconda is extremely sturdy when customized for survivability. It has 8 utility mounts, the highest amount of any ship in the game; and its potent Class 8 power plant allows a [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Generator shield generator], a [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Cell_Bank shield cell bank] and multiple [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Booster shield boosters] to be activated simultaneously and still have enough leftover to power the weapons and other systems. Even should the shield fail, the Anaconda has a base armor hitpoint of 945, the highest of any ship in the game, and the large number of optional internal compartments give plenty of room to install [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Hull_Reinforcement_Package hull reinforcement packages] or [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Module_Reinforcement_Package module reinforcement packages] to stack even more protection. Last but not least, should the need to retreat arise, the Anaconda has a mass lock factor of 23, meaning most ships would not be able to slow down its FSD charging process. | Defensively, the Anaconda is extremely sturdy when customized for survivability.
