With its two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small frame. Although it lacks top speed compared to other ships, its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, thus allowing for more powerful lateral slides and vertical hops.
With its two medium (class 3) [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small frame. Although it lacks top speed compared to other ships, its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, thus allowing for more 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 hull of the ship. They are well suited for any type of [[weapons|weapon]] mount — fixed, gimballed, or turreted — and capable of shooting at targets even slightly underneath the waterline of the hull. A loadout of two fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets like [[Sidewinder]]s, [[Eagle]]s, or [[Hauler]]s.

The Vulture has two visible manned stations. The pilot's chair is on the centerline of the ship. The auxiliary station is offset to the left and is above and behind the pilot's station.
