==Overview==

In combat, the Vulture is one of the most powerful small-sized ships ~~in combat~~. 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 are capable of dishing out heavy damage. However, the small number of hardpoints means weapons such as [[Missile Rack|Missiles]], [[Mine Launcher|Mines]], [[Torpedo Pylon|Torpedoes]] or [[Railgun]]s are not viable as they have limited ammo capacities and are not available in Class 3. 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.

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, as the Vulture is held back by its limited power capacity. This greatly limits viable loadout choices and encourages smart [[module priority control]].
