Maybe they buy the thruster modules from same manufacturer.

It is like complaining that Airbus and Boeing use the same engines.

The ships in Elite are obviously built using various modules to configure and upgrade them, so it makes sense that some modules are used in different ships even from different manufacturers.

Frigging huge. :)

If you are inclined you could messure it from a screen, if you know how big the ship is (and these mesurements are known) then just messure the diameter of the gun and you have the caliber.

But just going from the weight, and ignoring that there are probably more advanced lightweight materials in the Elite universe, it would be something between an 8 inch or 9 inch gun, so 203-230mm caliber. Which seems quite resonable with the size of the ships.

Yes the top large hardpoint can feel a bit left out sometimes.

Even gimballed only in your fist pass if the enemy does not suspect it you can hit with all weapons, then when maneuvering it is mostly the lower three or the top who have a field of fire. if you can manage to stay at least 400-500m away and keep the enemy right in the middle of your screen then you can get him with all fours. Think the top hardpoint might be used for a lesser used weapon or something big to quicker take out heavies when the three lasers in the lower hardpoitns ahve taken out the shields. I tried a Plasma accelerator, and while it has a niche punch it did not fit with my playingstyle.

So most of the time you will fire with 3 weapons on the enemy and if you manage it all four, and if he pitches away hard to the top then only one, until you catch him again.

Thanks DNYI, so to make it short Frontier decides in its flavor texts the ships role and that is what they are called in the WIKI as well. And even thre are no fixed ruels. Since noone stops you from using a comabt ship for exploration or a trader for combat (if it is fun or makes sense is a different issue) the classification is mainly a help for shopping or to find ships in the database.

As I wrote before my defimniton for multipurpose is if I have 6 or more internals and can jump 15Lj+ in a ship, while still having adquate weapons and systems. I am a packrat and never can decide what to do so, just having the otpion to carry cargo on my combat ship is essential as is having a discovery scanner.

The state of liveries and decals is a bit bad at the moment.

I appreciate that frontier seems to be spending more time on the game itself then adding fancy colors. But many of the new ships do not have any option, unless you got the Black Friday paintjob.

Same with decals, there are only teh pilot logos and the skull thats it. I see that they might not want to add player created decals, but then give us more generic ones. Would be nice if they ahd a system like in WarThunder wher you can place them freely and resize and rotete the decals, some people die great jobs there by applying 2-3 decals over each other and resizing and rotating them to get a very unique look.

I would also give my vote for Tun for leeling up.

As most of the systems around it also give charity missions, and most have RES zones or compromised nav points to easy make money and give you something else to do in between. There are also often some quite decent shadow delivery missions in the area. So that all adds up to make it quite easy to level up there, and you not even have to spam charity missions all the time.

Very ammusing read. :)

The AI FGS have some very interesting combat startegies. The turn around and spam fire is one, and the one I despise even more is when they boost away, turn around and then boots back to ram you out of the sky.

My tactic is to try to stay inside 1km of them as then they do rarely turn around. Armor on all three of the Federal ships is quite hard,

One on one I have not real problems with the GS when I fly the FAS, in the Viper I normally just boosted away, especially when the GS managed to get in a superior firing position as with all the guns your shileds and armor just melt away.

http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Federal_Gunship?file=Gunship05.png

The FAS has no ability to carry a fighter, that hatch is teh cargo scoop/ hatch.

The Farragut can carry fighters, from the fluff text it can even carry Federal Corvettes. To bad it will never be a playership, on the other hand where would you dock it? it does not fit in the mailslot, of the spacestations and it is even bigger then most outposts are (and probably has more mass, so the outpost would rather dock on the Farragut)

I am wondering who or what defines a ship as fighter, multipurpose, or whatever?

For me every ship that has at least 6 internal spaces and can get a jumprange of 15+ LJ without compromising would be multipurpose as you can fit it with enough sensors for bountyhunting and exploring and have even at least one cargorack, and do some minor exploring in the bubble.

I was thinking mainly because of two ships I ahve been flying over the last few months a lot. The Viper Mk IV and the Federal Assault Ship, both are classified as combat, but if you compare them to multipurpose ships in their range there is not mcuh difference. The Viper MK IV is very similar to the Cobra MK III. While the Viper MK III is a pure fighter for me the MK IV was more a ajck of all trades with 8 internals you can cram everything you want into it, and still ahve a good 20LJ jumprange.

Similar for the Assualt Ship, its sister ship the Dropship is classified as Multipurpose, the Assaultship is not that much different, trading 1 internal for a bit better jumprange and maneuverability, and a bit different weaponlayout.

I tried a class 3 on the top mounted hardpoint of my FAS. My feelings are mixed on that, especially the extremly low rate of fire, and it seems to be temperamental when you have generates some heat already from firing your lasers, then it seems to just not want to fire. So after a laser barrage I need to cool down a bit before firing the accellerator. Damage output also seems to vary a lot, depending where you hit.

Sine ammocosts are quite high and with the low shotspeed I normally only fire when the enemy is filling my screen so that there is no chance you miss.

It is quite fun when it works, 2 shotted a Type 6 from full shields once, but overall I feel I can get rid of the enemies quicker with my 4 gimballed beamlasers targeting the powerplant.

Like always I would say it depends on what you want.

The FAS is more maneuverable, has more internal slots, and I think the additional large hardpoint more then compenstates for the 2 medium and 2 small.

The FGS has even more armor, and a bit more shields (the shields still being kind of pathetic).

Personally I think unless you mainly are doing planetary assaults where having nearly all your weapons on the bottom are really great, the FAS seems to me to be the more versatile ship.

I carry nearly all I want on my FAS, a full set of scanners for bounty hunting, a cargo rack for salvage, my little buggy for joyrides on planets and the parking assist aka docking computer (I could live without that and change it for a fuel scope or a surface scanner).

And do not forget the FAS is cheaper, not only the base price but also as it can only fit 5A shields and 6A power distributer (which is more then enough to power all of its systems).

Try Boe Stop in the Ninmah System, they should carry it, could jsut be that you have to wait a bit since it seems they do not stock a lot. But as there are a few RES around you can spend the time hunting.

otherwise if you have a permit to SOL try the stations there, you can find everything you need.

Depends on your weapon layout and if you buy it in a system with discount or not. But 22-25 mil would be a start to fit some good weapons and maybe a 5C frameshiftdrive, that is enough to start hunting in RES and be able to go to different places, the original drive is very limited with only about 7LJ range.

Don't forget that the insurance also is about 1-2 millions so calculate that in as well.

My FAS sits currently at around 53 mil, and is not fully upgraded, espacially the powerplant will cost a lot. 6A is 16mil.

Can't say I have never flown the FDL.

On paper they look quite simiar in regards to maneuverability. Guess if you can make the Huger hardpoint work for you then the FDL is much better. I personally prefer lasers so it would be wasted.

Having 1 Internal less then the FAS limits its uses if you are not going pure fighter. On a FAS you can fit nearly everything you want and a vehicle hanger (which makes sense as it just looks like a military combat transport). Also the FAS has a bigger fueltank which gives it a few more options if running without a Fuelscope.

Personally I think the FAS can be used more as an allround ship and not only a pure fighter, if you like to do some light trades or smuggling keep a small to big cargorack and you are done. That was the reason I switched from my Viper MKIII to the MKIV the additional internal (the bigger fuletank and frameshiftdrive was an added bonus).

Thats the beauty about Elite there is not one ship that can do all good, you always have some compromises.

Jsut as an added thought I find AI FDL easier to tackle then AI FAS, but that might just be a personal issue, seems I can stay better on the tail of a FDL also AI FAS (and the other Federal ships) like to do more boom and zoom attacks, when the boost away turn around and then boost back weapons blazing and not caring what they hit, and 500tons ramming you is no fun. :)
