Eagle
The Eagle is an agile fighter sporting 3 weapon hardpoints. It is arguably the most maneuverable ship currently in the game, as well as being the cheapest combat-specialized vessel. However, it suffers from a very short hyperspace range in current betas, as well as a tendency to overheat, meaning many commanders skip it or don't stay in it long.
In September 2014 Frontier announced that the Eagle will become a second starting ship for all players who pre-order the game, including existing beta and Kickstarter supporters. This additional Eagle will be a second ship that will be parked in a different system, which players can take control of instead of their starting ship.
