F63 Condor
The F63 Condor is the mainstay superiority fighter of the Federation Intervention fleet. Deployed locally by Federal capital vessels, as well as smaller ships that can support a fighter hangar, the Condor is meant to fly in large numbers.
Its small size and manoeuvrability is what makes it hard to hit, and it can be assumed to be very cheap to mass produce due to its size. The F63 Condor supports two small hardpoints and at least one utility mount.
Also, due to its size, the F63 Condor does not possess a Frameshift drive, and thus cannot go into Supercruise, nor jump. It is inherently reliant on either a station, outpost or carrier to be deployed from.
The F63 Condor is flyable in the Close Quarters Combat gamemode, and is a part of the starter (Rank 1) loadout. It comes with two pulse lasers and a chaff launcher as default.
With the release of Elite Dangerous: Horizons v2.2 "The Guardians" update, the Condor is a Ship-Launched Fighter that can be deployed from a Fighter Hangar module.
The F63 Condor can be purchased in Federation systems only, but can be restocked in any system.
Description
The blueprint describes the F63 Condor "A mainstay superiority fighter. The F63 Condor has an excellent track record of prosecuting Federal interests. The short range craft deployed by capital class vessels, provides effective point-defence and strike capability. Typically deployed in numbers to offset their lack of defensive capability."[1]
Variants
The F63 Condor is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility module, and slightly in the top and boost speed. It is the only fighter available with kinetic weapons. F-variants have fixed weapons and G-variants have gimballed weapons.
