Hand-crafted with an impressive combination of skill, craft, love, and rocket surgery, the current powerhouse of the ring-racing circuit isn't available through any dealership. The Bald Eagle relies on gimballed RCS for reliable rotation thrust, but the combination of four torches and a low relative mass give it unparalleled lateral translation and acceleration.

The Bald Eagle is an extensively modified Eagle Prospector, designed solely for
racing. The Prospector Series' dual main torches provide high acceleration, while side-facing torches give this craft incredible strafing. To save weight, the cargo bay has been mostly removed, and the grinder has been replaced with an excavator, making the ship a poor choice for bare-bay mining. Interestingly, the ship retains all of the hardpoints, crew, and processed storage of the Eagle, making it surprisingly usable in most contexts.
Notes
- The Bald Eagle must be bought in-ring from the racer NPC for 10,000,000E$, and will never appear in the dealership.
- Despite having a massively reduced cargo bay, processed cargo capacity remains the same.
