The Anaconda is currently the largest ship that is able to be piloted by a player in Elite: Dangerous. Boasting an array of weapon hardpoints this ship is a formidable combat ship capable of holding its own against multiple opponents. It and the Fer-de-Lance are currently the only ships capable of equipping the powerful Class 4 Plasma Accelerators. Some traders also make use of this ship due to its high jump range, enormous cargo capacity ( Surpassed only by the Lakon Type-9 Heavy), and superb defensive capabilities.
