The Eagle MK2 Review : A Bird of Prey? [Elite Dangerous]

The Eagle MK2 from Core Dynamics in Elite Dangerous is the first natural step-up in combat from the standard Sidewinder that every new pilot receives. It handles better and has more weapons, but is that all it needs? In this video, I go through my personal impressions on this little ship.

If you can engineer some enhanced thrusters, the eagle can pour on some SERIOUS speed, especially while boosting. There's a VERY short list of ships that can outrun a fully engineered eagle with improved thrusters. Makes it great as a small time smuggler or data runner; if trouble finds you, just hit the boost and you are GONE. Last I checked It's fast enough to avoid the initial shutdown field of a thargoid when interdicted.

Cytoscrambler works really well with this ship because of its ability to stick consistently close on the rear of your target. Rails, cannons, or missiles work well in conjunction for module damage once the shields are down.

New player, people are recommending other ships than this one, but I still want it because it's THE ONLY ONE THAT LOOKS COOL to me personally, and I also like how cramped it is. The other ships just don't give me the lonely space cowboy vibe. Also, the better ships are 2+ seaters and that feels awkward as fuck when no one will ever sit in them.

Looking forward to your Python review

I love the Imperial Eagle

I absolutely LOVE the way you break these ship reviews down. I am NOT a player yet but have had this game recommended to me by a real gamer! I dont consider myself a REAL gamer but more of a dabbler. Thank you for your work on these reviews.

The Eagle Mk2 isn't really suited as a second ship for the new player. When you're struggling with the controls, combat is not a very good idea.

would like to see u review all ships like this, i guess but for small ones, i would loved to have seen Vulture and Viper before Eagles.... : )
