The '''Krait Mk II''' is a medium [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. The modern successor of the discontinued [[Krait MkI|Krait Mk I]], the Krait Mk II 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 multirole craft, the [[Python]]. Due to its inconspicuous design, the Krait Mk II 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 Phantom]] is a variant. | |||

The Krait Mk II is a leaner, meaner alternative to the [[Python]], featuring almost identical module and hardpoint specifications. The Krait's advantages over the Python are its lower cost, lower hull mass, higher speed, improved handling, higher jump range potential, and the ability to carry a [[Fighter Hangar]], but these are balanced by the Krait having one less Class 6 internal compartment as well as weaker armour and shields. In effect, the ship sacrifices some utility as a freighter in favor of speed and jump range potential compared to the Python, but remains a viable | The Krait Mk II is a leaner, meaner alternative to the [[Python]], featuring almost identical module and hardpoint specifications.

The Phantom has reconfigured internal compartments with less cargo capacity and gives up its Fighter Hangar, one Class 3 hardpoint, and one pilot's seat, but this also reduces its hull mass significantly to the benefit of speed, handling, and jump range. As such, while the Krait Mk II remains the better choice for combat, [[Trader|trading]], and [[Miner|mining]], the Krait Phantom offers a streamlined alternative for [[explorer]]s or pilots who have no use for a Fighter Hangar. | ||
