In-game, the Vulture is considered an "über unit", and is constructed at the [[UNSC Airpad|airpad]], and requires six population, 900 resources, and a tech level of four. It can be upgraded with the ''Mega Barrage'' upgrade, potentially doubling its barrages' power; this upgrade is purchased at the air pad and costs 800 resource points and requires a minimum tech level of 4. For balance, the Vulture is one of only two vehicle units in ''Halo Wars'' that cannot be [[Boarding (gameplay mechanic)|commandeered]] by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]], the other being the Covenant [[Type-47B Scarab#Type-47B 'Deutoros' model|Scarab]]. The Vulture is the only air unit that is not immobilized by a single [[Type-29 Vampire|Vampire's]] stasis drain, though it is still damaged and can be immobilized by multiple synchronous drains.
