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 make the ship as one of the most maneuverable in the game. 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. | ||
