{{Quote|Fast and agile with decent protection making it a good all-rounder.|In-Game Description}}
The '''F63 Condor''' is a [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] manufactured by [[Core Dynamics]] for the [[Federation]]. The mainstay superiority fighter of the [[Federal Navy]], the F63 Condor balances speed, durability, and firepower. It is deployed both by Federation capital ships and smaller vessels capable of supporting a [[Fighter Hangar]], and is intended to swarm enemy targets in large numbers.


==Overview==
Its small size and manoeuvrability is what makes it hard to hit, and it can be assumed to be very cheap to mass produce due to its size. The F63 Condor supports two small [[hardpoint]]s and at least one utility mount.

Compared to its two alternative options, the Imperial Fighter and Taipan the Condor sits as the middleman; boasting good mobility and decent defenses. This makes the Condor a good option for most scenarios and the AI has no trouble using the ship to its fullest. A player may find the weak defenses and overall lower mobility less appealing however. Interestingly, it is the only Tiny Fighter capable of using Multicannons, meaning it is much more effective at hull damage than the other options.

The F63 Condor is flyable in the [[Close Quarters Combat]] gamemode, and is a part of the starter (Rank 1) loadout. It comes with two pulse lasers and a [[Chaff Launcher|chaff launcher]] as default.
