Vulture: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]]. Featuring two large (class 3) [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture packs serious firepower into a relatively small frame. Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, its powerful lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable ships.

Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It sports the highest base shield and armor hitpoints out of all small sized ships, has very good internal compartments (even better than the much more expensive [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Fer-de-Lance Fer-de-Lance]), and its number of utility mounts is 4, the same as larger ships such as [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Python Python] and [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/~~federal_gunship~~ Federal Gunship] . However, there is a catch: the Vulture is held back by its limited power capacity, which greatly limits viable loadout choices and encourages smart [[module priority control]]. Moreover, the Vulture's power plant is notorious for being prone to malfunctions when taking damage. Unlike most ships' power plant malfunctions which only reduce power output, the Vulture's power plant malfunctions will often cause the ship to be temporarily shut down entirely.

Its two hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hull of the ship. Due to the spacing between the hardpoints, a loadout of two fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets like [[Sidewinder]]s, [[Eagle]]s, or [[Hauler]]s.
