Encounter Vulture Vessel
Rarely when you approach the "SPRT.Mayday" signal, you will meet the The Vulture. This ominous ship is owned by the SPRT Space Pirates and is one of the more dangerous Random Encounters.

This is a PvE battle encounter where you get attacked and chased by a pirate fighter.
The Pirate Vulture immediately calls in 2-3 small Vulture Drones for assistance that you have to get rid of as well. The Vulture Drones have limited hydrogen for their thrusters and limited ammo for two gatling guns. Their only cargo is ice to feed the O2/H2 Generator (they have no tanks).
The Vulture itself attacks with two rocket launchers, two lateral turrets, and two interior turrets.
When you board the Vulture Vessel, it will try to buck you off by flying crazy manoeuvres until you hack or destroy the remote control block and cockpit.
Interior
The interior has a cockpit in front and a battle room in the back, with a projector table and a desk with chairs and beds for a crew of two.
Properties
The ship has 366 blocks and uses up 4233 PCU if you repurpose it for your own fleet. Or, you can salvage Hydrogen Thrusters, Oxygen Tanks, an O2/H2 Generator, a Survival Kit, some rockets and ammo, and an artificial gravity generator.
