Federal Dropship

The Federal Dropship is one of the Federation ships and is usually sold on Federation stations (but has also been seen on independent shipyards). To purchase the Federal Dropship, the player must obtain a rank on the Federation Icon.png Fleet - the Midshipman. At the moment, this ship is not very attractive because of its low mobility. However, the Federal Dropship can play a large role in Wing Operations, thanks to its excellent placement and the size of its gun sockets.

The Federal Dropship is known for its ability to remain functional even when its hull is heavily damaged. This is because the modules are well protected.

The armament locations are as follows:

2 class 2 sockets on the sides at the front of the lower wing,
2 class 2 nests at the bottom, just behind the beginning of the fuselage taper,
1 Class 3 nest at the front bottom in the middle of the fuselage taper.

Although all suspension assemblies have good firing areas when fitted with turrets, the side nests with turrets provide the maximum benefit.
