The | The '''Eagle''' is an agile fighter sporting 3 weapon [[hardpoint]]s. It is the most maneuverable ship currently in the game, as well as being the cheapest combat-specialized vessel. However, it suffers from a short hyperspace range, as well as a tendency to overheat and run out of weapons power. | ||
In September | In September 1014 Frontier announced that the Eagle would become a second starting ship for all players who had pre-ordered [[Elite: Dangerous]], including existing Beta and Kickstarter supporters. This starting Eagle (known as the "Freagle") is located in a station outside of the player's starting system and can be flown once the player travels to the station where it is stored. The Freagle can be found by opening the [[Galaxy Map]] and looking for a system with a blue ship icon next to it; the ship will be located in a station within the designated system. | ||
Some players aspiring to be bounty hunters may use the Eagle as a cheaper alternative to the [[Viper]]. While this is a valid strategy for bounty hunting, keep in mind that the Eagle, while very agile, has a very weak hull so fitting shield cells is strongly advised for an Eagle wielding bounty hunter. | Some players aspiring to be bounty hunters may use the Eagle as a cheaper alternative to the [[Viper]].
