Featuring a polymer-weave hull structure, it is optimized for the new generation of [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|SCO Frame Shift Drives]], greatly improving its supercruise capabilities and jump range.

~~Its design may lead some to believe that [[Core Dynamics]] had a hand in the architecture –~~ sharp angles, flat panels, clearly defined weapons bays, an exposed bridge tower, a forked prow and a characteristic dorsal trench akin to [[Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser~~|Farragut-Class Battlecruisers~~]] ~~– the~~ Mk II boldly steps away from the original Anaconda’s rounded lines and flush cockpit.

~~Alas, none of these changes are needless – the~~ raised bridge island grants excellent visibility, and the forked prow further improves vision during a landing approach, while also aiding hardpoint convergence.

The raised bridge island grants excellent visibility, and the forked prow further improves vision during a landing approach, while also aiding hardpoint convergence.

The Mk II is equipped with a similar assortment of [[Hardpoint|hardpoints]] as its predecessor, swapping out the two Medium hardpoints for an additional Large hardpoint. Their layout is also comparable; a single Huge hardpoint is mounted at the ship’s prow, between the ‘forks’, hidden under an armored shudder. A two pairs of large hardpoints are present on the ship’s dorsal and ventral surfaces, roughly amidships, and a pair of small hardpoints sit on the vessel’s ventral aft section, just behind the vehicle bay doors. A design quirk permits the use of [[Lakon Spaceways|Lakon’s]] proprietary [[Mining Volley Repeater|Mining Volley Repeaters]] on the ventral hardpoints.
