The '''Eagle MkII''' is an agile | The '''Eagle MkII''' is a [[ship]] manufactured by [[Core Dynamics]]. As an agile close-quarters combat vessel sporting 3 small weapon [[hardpoint]]s, it is the most maneuverable ship currently in the game excluding [[Ship Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighters]], 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. The Eagle MkII is also one of the four vessels used in the [[CQC Championship]] Arena. | ||

Thus, the Eagle is extremely viable for any commander looking to take advantage of mobility and even high-tier ships like the [[Anaconda]] would struggle against a well-trained Eagle pilot due to its ability to stay on the rear of ships; where even Turreted [[hardpoints]] won't have any visibility of the ship. Be advised of ships deploying fighters however and it is highly advised to prioritize these in combat. | ||
Compared to the [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]] the Eagle is a strict upgrade in virtually every aspect. The sidewinder has slightly better base armour but the Eagle has much better combat ability, not to mention better cargo capacity, jump range, damage, hardpoints etc. The Eagle is a great second ship for players to jump to and some even prefer it over the [[Hauler]] for cargo jobs due to its respectable 16T of space. | Compared to the [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]] the Eagle is a strict upgrade in virtually every aspect.
