Vulture

The Vulture is a heavy space superiority fighter.

With its two large hardpoints, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small frame. It lacks top speed, but its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, allowing for powerful lateral slides and vertical hops.

The Vulture's main drawback is its limited power capacity given the two large hardpoints and the excessive amounts of utility mounts and internal compartments on offer, which can be counteracted to a degree by smart module priority control and sacrifices in the loadout choice.

The two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hulk of the ship. They are well suited for any type of weapon mount — fixed, gimbaled, or turreted — and capable of shooting at targets even slightly underneath the waterline of the hull. Merely fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets like Sidewinders, Eagles, or Haulers.
