The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space-superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]] manufactured by [[Core Dynamics]]. Featuring two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture packs serious firepower into a relatively small frame and excels at combat, but has difficulty adapting to other roles. Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, it one of the most maneuverable ships on the market owing to its powerful lateral thrusters and extremely powerful engines relative to the ship's mass, only being out-turned by smaller, less-armed ships.

==Overview==

In combat, the Vulture is one of the most powerful small ships available. It is capable of easily staying out of the firing range of tougher ships like [[Anaconda]]s or [[Python]]s and its two large hardpoints can quickly deal heavy damage to any ship. However, the small number of hardpoints means weapons such as [[Missile Rack|Missiles]], [[Mine Launcher|Mines]], [[Torpedo Pylon|Torpedoes]] or [[Railgun]]s are unviable due to their limited ammo capacities. As for weapon mount types, both fixed and gimballed mounts are viable due to the Vulture's nimble nature, but turreted mounts are inadvisable due to their higher power consumption, lower damage and that they don't take advantage of the Vulture's manoeuvrability. Overall, the Vulture is one of the best [[Bounty Hunter]] ships available.

Overall, the Vulture is one of the best [[Bounty Hunter]] ships available.

Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It possesses the highest base shield and armor hitpoints out of all small sized ships; it has very good internal compartments (even better than the much more expensive [[Fer-de-Lance]]); and its number of utility mounts is 4, the same as larger ships such as [[Python]] and [[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]].
