In-Game Description
Like the Hera, the Taipan is more of a vintage offering than a practical choice. The ability to attach three primary weapons gives it a slight edge, however.

Characteristics
The Taipan is a classy, expensive and a powerful Terran built ship. It is a great alternative to the Hera. As compared to the Hera, the Taipan sacrifices 2 module slots and 14 cargo points for 1+ primary weapon slot, 14 points more armor and slightly better handling. It may seem a large difference but in the Hera one can easily put a powerful shield and armor for protection, even a thrust for better handling and a boost for greater combat effectiveness.
Trivia
- Cornelius Tenner piloted a Tapian.
- The Taipan and the Hera are the two "Classic" ship designs in GoF2.
- Taipan is the name of an Australian adder.
