{{Quote|The Taipan short-range fighter is Faulcon deLacy's response to the success of Core Dynamics’ F-63 Condor and the Imperial Fighter designed by Gutamaya Shipyards for the Imperial Navy. The export restrictions on those models has left a wide gap in the market that Faulcon deLacy intends to exploit with the Taipan. Although most independent navies lack the large, capital-class carriers of the two larger superpowers, a range of smaller ships can be fitted with hangars to deploy small numbers of the craft. The Taipan can also act as a short-range critical-response fighter for starports and surface installations.|In-game description}}

The '''Taipan''' is a [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/jWgaxuG.png Screenshot of Taipan flavor text]</ref> and included in the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] 2.2 update.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA_FcXnyV5Q Elite Dangerous patch 2.2 - aliens, space stations & more | Gamescom 2016], 2016-08-17</ref> It can only be deployed from a [[Fighter Hangar]] equipped on a larger ship.

==Overview==

Of the three fighters, the Taipan is not as fast as the [[F63 Condor]] nor as maneuverable as the [[Imperial Fighter]], but it does have the most armour and shields.

The Taipan Fighter can be purchased in [[Alliance]] and Independent systems only, but can be restocked in any system.

The rear wings of the Taipan have their in-flight position (the non-docking configuration) animated based on the heat level of the fighter. As the ship's heat level increases, the rear wings will decrease the amount they are swept back in a V shape and will become closer to a straight wing shape.

==Variants==

The Taipan is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility modules, and slightly in the top and boost speed. F-variants have fixed weapons and G-variants have gimballed weapons.

==Trivia==

*Concept art of the Taipan referred to it as the "Independent Fighter".

*The Taipan's design similarities to [[Lakon Spaceways]] ships caused many players to assume that it was a Lakon product, but descriptions in the game and on cosmetic items in the Frontier Store for the fighter confirm that it is from Faulcon DeLacy.
