Description
The Eagle is an agile fighter sporting 3 weapon hardpoints. It is arguably the most manuverable 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.

Outfitting
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting at high technology starports around the Galaxy. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H (A being the best tier), and other characteristics such as energy drain, armor piercing, etc.
