Soaring Through the Stars: A Deep Dive into the Drake Vulture in Star Citizen
A magnificent, gleaming beast of the cosmos. That's what the Drake Vulture feels like, as you envision taking the skies in this impressive Star Citizen ship. You’ll just have to grab the controls to believe it.
Introduction
Star Citizen is an online, sci-fi, space simulator. It has a vast and stunning world filled with interesting spacecrafts (among many other features) including the infamous, amazing Drake Vulture. The Drake Vulture is one of the most famous ones. Let’s dive into the design and features!
What Makes the Drake Vulture So Popular?
- Powerful weaponry.
- Durable and spacious cabin (very important for me!).
- Awesome style (wow).
- Many people are saying great gameplay and feel.
One thing people really love about the Vulture is the way it just handles so smoothly; a true champion in space.
Design and Appearance
The Outer Shell
The Drake Vulture is built to last (really, built to fight in space!). It’s made of reinforced materials and designed to absorb impact really well. Some folks complain about the rough design, saying it's kinda clunky (for some good reasons though). Some others praise the style. Everyone has different preferences, right?
Interior Spaces
This beast isn’t just good outside, the interior spaces are impressive. You have enough room for cargo and to equip all your favourite weapons. The cabin space (this part really grabbed my attention) feels incredibly vast! So if you are looking for a lot of space this could be your thing. It can carry an incredible load too.

- Amazing speed for a large ship.
- Great acceleration! (Impressive performance!).
- Robust shielding that can take quite a beating (it feels strong).
- Powerful lasers, missiles. Some folks praise it as an awesome and terrifying combination.
Gameplay Experience
Playing with the Drake Vulture in-game is a joy. The response is immediate and intuitive. I just have to make a smooth input of my directions. If you are not new to this kind of experience, then you will find yourself instantly at home.
Weapons: The Drake's Teeth!
The weapons in the Vulture feel right for a powerful ship of this size, perfect combination. The ship is loaded to fight in any space and time conditions!
Flying Qualities (My Perspective):
One part of gameplay I want to really touch on are the flying qualities. I find that they respond quickly. They make a very positive impact.
- It's very balanced and stable. This one is a good example.
- Great manoeuvrability in different areas of gameplay!
- Lots of great flight feels
(Honestly, I think it handles incredibly well for its size!)
Comparing the Drake Vulture to Other Ships
Table 1: Drake Vulture vs. Other Popular Ships

As you can see from the table above (hope this one was clear to read!). A Drake Vulture could be considered somewhere in-between small and big. In any scenario this craft fits well in-game!
(Personally, comparing it to others isn't easy; each vessel has a specific charm, and really depends on your preference!)

Is the Drake Vulture Worth It?
(A BIG QUESTION for the buyer!). A simple, honest, opinion based answer? Yes and No!
"The Vulture is excellent value." This sentence expresses a great deal of the feelings around the aircraft; great design (which in the long run means a big profit from it), worth it as a whole for someone that plays for many years! But it’s essential to consider the time you intend on playing and how important all its benefits are for you (the user)! You will have to invest some time and/or money before it can make real sense to purchase it.
