Imperial Eagle
The Imperial Eagle was added in the v1.4 update CQC on October 6th, 2015. The concept art image was shown during Frontier's Q&A session at Lavecon 2015 and it is variant of the Eagle Mk. II; also known as Eagle Mk. III. It is faster than the Eagle Mk. II at the cost of a lower manoeuvrability.[1]
It boasts superior armor and shield strength in addition to one Medium Hardpoint replacing one of the three small on the regular Eagle Mk. II.
The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: One Class 2 Medium mount on the top of the ship behind the cockpit, two Class 1 Small mounts mounted side-by-side on the underside of the main fuselage in front of the bump that contains the cargo scoop.
