The '''Krait MkII''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. The modern successor of the [[Krait MkI]], the Krait MkII greatly expands upon the premise of the original, resulting in a larger, well-rounded ship intended to provide a more combat-focused alternative to Faulcon DeLacy's other mid-size multipurpose craft, the [[Python]]. Due to its inconspicuous design, the Krait MkII is also less likely to attract the attention of local authorities and has potential as a smuggling vessel.<ref name="PCGN">[https://www.pcgamesn.com/elite-dangerous/elite-dangerous-beyond-chapter-two-cinematic PCGamesN: Feast your eyes on the Krait Mk II in the latest Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter Two cinematic]</ref> | The '''Krait MkII''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]].

== Overview == | == Overview == | ||
The Krait MkII is a leaner, meaner alternative to the [[Python]], featuring almost identical module and hardpoint specifications. The main differences are that the Krait is cheaper and has one less Class 6 internal compartment, three pilot seats for [[Multicrew]] instead of two, higher armour, lower hull mass, and the ability to carry a Class 5 or 6 [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]]. While the smaller internal space means the Python wins out in total cargo capacity, the Krait's other characteristics make it a faster, more agile ship with a higher jump range potential and excellent combat utility for its size. | |||
The Krait's three large hardpoints are mounted in a delta pattern on the vessel's dorsal surface, behind the cockpit. The two medium hardpoints are mounted on the underside of the front-most points of the hull, on either side of the cockpit and slightly forward. | |||
The primary pilot's seat is located squarely along the centerline of the ship, but the cockpit itself extends from the hull and is slightly under-slung, affording a wide, unobstructed frontal view in the vein of a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship such as the [[Asp Explorer]]. The two secondary pilot seats flank the primary pilot seat to the left and right, and have separate canopies. | |||
