The Taipan Fighter is a fighter included in the Elite Dangerous: Horizons 2.2 update.[1] As with the F63 Condor and Imperial Fighter, the Taipan is a ship-launched fighter that can be deployed from a specialized hangar bay module. Of the three fighters, the Taipan is not as fast as the Condor or as maneuverable as the Imperial, but it does have the most armor and shields.
Variants
Like the F63 Condor and Imperial Fighter, the Taipan is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility slot, and slightly in the top and boost speed.
