Each [[ships|ship]] can equip a variety of energy, projectile and missile based weapons. Most weapons are available in either fixed, gimbal, or turret variants. Weapons are organized into classes ranging from 1 to 4 indicating their relative size (the higher the number the bigger the [[hardpoint]] must be to equip the weapon). Only the Cannon, Multi-Cannon, Pulse and Beam Laser, and Plasma Accelerator have class 4 variants whereas most other weapons have class 3 as their largest variant. In the outfitting store fixed weapons are indicated with a crosshair icon, gimbal weapons with a gyroscope icon, and turret weapons with a small turret icon.

==Weapons==
Weapon damage is divided into four categories: Thermal, Kinetic, Thermal Kinetic, and Explosive.

Thermal weapons (lasers) have the benefit of unlimited ammunition, but they also tend to overheat your weapons systems more rapidly than Kinetic weapons do. Thermal weapons deal increased damage to shields and normal damage to a ship's hull.

Kinetic weapons require ammunition to fire and also require reloads when your current magazine runs empty; however, they build up heat slower than Energy weapons. Kinetic weapons deal reduced damage to shields but increased damage to ship hulls.

Thermal Kinetic weapons require ammunition to fire, produce a lot of heat, and require a larger amount of energy to fire. However, Thermal Kinetic weapons are equally effective against shields and hull and tend to have high damage and high penetration. The [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Railgun Railgun] and [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Plasma_Accelerator Plasma Accelerator] deal Thermal kinetic damage.

Explosive weapons, such as missiles, torpedoes, and mines, are extremely ineffective against shields, but can inflict strong damage to a ship's hull. Explosive weapons have small and limited ammunition supplies, and can be shot down by Point-Defense Turrets. They are capable of being fired without adequate weapons energy reserves at the cost of extreme system heat, which can easily overheat your ship and do module and/or hull damage to your own ship. The explosive blast from Explosive type weapons is capable of damaging multiple ships if they are near the detonation point, which can easily cause "friendly-fire" problems if not used carefully.

Most weapons, with the exception of several explosive weapons, will be unable to fire if there is insufficient energy in the Weapons Energy Capacitor. Increasing the number of pips to the Weapons Energy Capacitor will increase the recharge rate on the Weapons Energy Capacitor, allowing weapons to be fired more frequently. When there is insufficient energy to fire a weapon, a "Thermal Overload" Message will be displayed next to the Weapon's name on the HUD.

=== Thermal weapons ===
These weapons use a charging capacitor and thus do not need ammo, but tend to drain weapon energy quickly and take time to recharge.

Thermal weapons are effective at stripping shields.
* [[Beam Laser]]
* [[Pulse Laser]]
* [[Burst Laser]]
* [[Cytoscrambler]] (Powerplay faction locked)
* [[Pulse Disruptor]] (Powerplay faction locked)
* [[Retributor]] (Powerplay faction locked)

=== Kinetic Weapons ===
Kinetic-based weapons require ammunition to fire but generate less heat and consume less power as a result. Ammunition can be replenished at most stations or outposts. Kinetic weapons are good against hull, but are not as effective against shields.
* [[Cannon]]
* [[Multi-cannon]]
* [[Fragment Cannon]]
* [[Enforcer Cannon]] (Powerplay faction locked)
* [[Pacifier Frag-Cannon]] (Powerplay faction locked)
* [[Shock Cannon]] (Experimental)
* [[Remote Release Flechette Launcher]] (Experimental)
* [[Remote Release Flak Launcher]] (Experimental)

=== Thermal Kinetic Weapons ===
Thermal-Kinetic Weapons require ammunition to fire, generate a large amount of heat, and consume a large amount of energy. However, they deal very high damage and are equally effective against Shields and Hull.
* [[Railgun]]
* [[Plasma Accelerator]]
* [[Imperial Hammer]] (Powerplay faction locked)
* [[Advanced Plasma Accelerator]] (Powerplay faction locked)

=== Explosive Weapons ===
Explosive Weapons require ammunition to fire. Most explosive weapons can be fired with insufficient energy in the weapons capacitor, but do so at the cost of extreme heat generation that is quite capable of reaching critical heat levels that may cause heat damage to your own modules and/or hull. Explosive Weapons are extremely ineffective against shields, but do greatly increased damage to hull.
* [[Missile Rack]]
* [[Torpedo Pylon]]
* [[Mine Launcher]]
* [[Pack-Hound Missile Rack]] (Powerplay faction locked)
* [[Shock Mine Launcher]]
* [[Enzyme Missile Rack]] (Experimental)

=== Defensive Weapons ===
Defensive weapons do not engage Enemy ships or vehicles. They solely fire at incoming explosive weapons.
* [[Point Defence Turret]]

=== Mining Lasers ===
Mining lasers are a Thermal damage type weapon that while capable of inflicting damage against an Enemy, are ill-suited for use as a combat weapon. They are used to mine fragments from asteroids, and are mostly used in combat as a last resort.
* [[Mining Laser]]
* [[Mining Lance]] (Powerplay faction locked)

==Weapon Mounts==
Regardless of type, all weapons are placed in different mounts which determine how they aim at targets:

===Fixed===
Fixed weapons are the most powerful of the three types, but have very little tracking ability - they shoot straight ahead, and can only do minor tracking of a few degrees (enough to converge on a target at most ranges) when the target is within the weapon's crosshairs. Because of this, fixed weapons depend heavily on your ship's manoeuvrability and your own aiming skills, but compared to other weapon mount types, they are cheaper, use less power, generate less heat, are not affected by chaff, and every weapon is available in a fixed mount.

Certain heavy weapons are ''only'' available in fixed mounts.

Every weapon in the game is available in a fixed mount, including standard, Powerplay faction locked, experimental, and mining tool weapons.
=== Gimbal ===
[[wikipedia:Gimbal|Gimballed]] weapons are mounted within a semi-flexible assembly which allows for limited pitch, yaw, and roll of the weapon within certain arcs limited by both the position of the mount and the actual assembly itself. Though they are not as flexible as Turrets, gimbal-mounted weapons can keep track of targets within a decently-sized cone directly in front of the mounting, making them a little easier to use than Fixed mounts. In exchange, gimbal weapons are usually weaker than their fixed counterparts and are vulnerable to chaff as it disrupts the weapon's ability to track the target.

When fired without a locked target, a Gimballed weapon will act as a Fixed mount instead, firing directly ahead. This can be used to partially bypass the scrambling effect of chaff; unlock the target and track/lead manually until the chaff effect ends.

The following weapons have gimbal variants:
* [[Beam Laser]]
* [[Pulse Laser]]
* [[Burst Laser]]
* [[Cannon]]
* [[Fragment Cannon]]
* [[Multi-cannon]]
* [[Shock Cannon]] (Experimental)

=== Turret ===
[[File:Turret in action 01.jpg|right|306px]]
Turrets are semi-independent auto-firing weapons that have a 360 degree range of fire. Standard turrets generally act autonomously, and do not require the hiring of an NPC crewman to act as a gunner. They must be part of the currently active weapon group in order to operate in either the Forward Fire or Targeted Enemy modes, otherwise they will not engage targets, even if they were previously activated.

Compared to Fixed and Gimballed weapons, Turrets are typically far more expensive (usually at least twice as expensive), turrets are in the middle of power consumption from all three weapon types, fixed being the least, and gimballed being the highest, however they have the lowest damage output. They can also be manually controlled by a human/player Gunner when using [[Multicrew]] functionality; the Gunner will take control of all Turreted weapons and select targets independent of the Helm, allowing ships to engage multiple seperate hostiles.

Note: You can select one of three "Turret Weapon Modes" from the Functions tab of the Systems menu; it applies to all equipped turrets at once. The modes are;
# Forward Fire - Your turrets will act as fixed weapons and will be fired manually; pull the trigger to fire once, hold down the trigger for continuous firing. This mode removes all the advantages that turrets have, as they will operate as a much lower damage version of their fixed weapon counterpart, but prevents them from being affected by chaff.
# Targeted Enemy - The turrets will automatically track and shoot at your manually locked target, so long as it is within their firing arc(s). The turrets start firing autonomously once you pull the trigger once. Turret firing range varies with turret type; Lasers will engage distant targets, whereas Multi-cannons will only fire at closer ranges due to loss of accuracy - despite their greater maximum range compared to most Lasers.
# Fire at Will - The turrets will fire automatically on any hostile target which is firing at you, once you pull the trigger. In this mode 2 turrets can focus on different targets at the same time. Since you cannot fire first at a target, even if the target interdicted you but did not shoot yet, this is rather a defensive setting.

The following weapons have turret variants:
* Standard weapons (Class 1/2/3 only)
** [[Beam Laser]]
** [[Pulse Laser]]
** [[Burst Laser]]
** [[Cannon]]
** [[Fragment Cannon]]
** [[Multi-cannon]]
* Experimental weapons
** [[AX Missile Rack]]
** [[AX Multi-cannon]]
** [[Guardian Plasma Charger]]
** [[Guardian Shard Cannon]]
** [[Remote Release Flak Launcher]]
** [[Remote Release Flechette Launcher]]
** [[Shock Cannon]]
* Mining tools
** [[Abrasion Blaster]]
** [[Mining Laser]]
** [[Seismic Charge Launcher]]
** [[Sub-surface Displacement Missile]]

The '''Farragut Battle Cruiser''' is the mainstay [[Capital Ships|capital ship]] of the [[Federation]]. Heavily armed with classified weaponry, the Farragut stretches over two kilometers long. The backbone of the [[Federal Navy]], it also forms the central core of Federal Navy Fleets.

The [[battlecruiser]] is capable of transporting and operating whole groups of [[Federal Corvette]]s, alongside housing multiple [[F63 Condor]] squadrons. It cannot be piloted by players.

== Design ==
The official The Art of Elite Dangerous art book describes the Farragut:

''"In contrast to the opulence of the Empire’s Majestic Class Interdictor, the Federation’s capital ships are brutal, practical war machines inside and out." <ref name=":0">Official The Art of Elite Dangerous art book, August 17 2016</ref>''

"''Airtight doors split the interior into many separate compartments. Grab-handles abound, as do access panels and all the paraphernalia of a military vessel. There would be no mistaking a Federal ship’s interior with an Imperial one."''<ref name=":0" />

According to [[David Braben]] ''"There will be no [[gravity]], you'll just float around. Things like magnetic boots will make getting around very easy. These would look like normal shoes with fancy technology that make them stick to the surface." "The Federal ship is a lot more Spartan, a lot more just practical warship essentially." "The Federal ship's central section, with design, one of the design briefs we've had is try to design ships with functions in mind. In the Federal ship it's utility that's important. The reason its got this central corridors is this is where ships come out of their hangars. It's to try and protect the hangars from outside. So the reason they face inward and the ships fly out you know they're already up to speed. That would be very heavily protected potentially with shields around it."'' <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4-gyDLRMXg&t=219</ref>

== Specifications ==

Core Dynamics Farragut-Class Battlecruisers represent the cutting edge in military technology. A single FBC can carry several squadrons of Federal Fighters and multiple Federal Corvettes across hundreds of light years without any difficulty. These deep deployment capabilities, coupled with extraordinarily heavy firepower, practically guarantee that a single FBC will completely overpower all but the most well-equipped opponents.<ref>http://galnetarchive.blogspot.com/2015/05/core-dynamics-completes-work-on-new.html</ref>

==Notes==
* All Farragut Battle Cruisers appear to share the registration tag of FDN-RD5.
* The Farragut Battle Cruiser cannot be destroyed by reducing its hull to 0%.<ref>[http://www.twitch.tv/mercenarythorrn/b/602359547?t=270m MercenaryThorrn's twitch broadcast @04:30:00]</ref>
* After destroying all of the Faragut's Heat Relays the ship will escape from battle by activating its [[Frame Shift Drive]].<ref>[http://www.twitch.tv/mercenarythorrn/b/602359547?t=286m MercenaryThorrn's twitch broadcast @04:46:00]</ref>
* Routing the Farragut awards the player 150,000 CR.
* Capital Ships have an exclusion zone. Flying too close to a Capital Ship is considered a threat and will make you a target, even if you are friendly. The Capital Ship will often inform you when you are getting close, telling you to back off.
* A Farragut is stationed above [[Sol/Earth|Earth]] in the [[Sol]] system, perhaps as a permanent post. It does not maintain an exclusion zone for friendlies.
* They can also be found at [[Capital Ship Dock]]s

== Trivia ==
* The Farragut Battle Cruiser length (2040m) is similar to 6 Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers (337 m).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nDYYYqrhp4 Elite ship scale 3.0]</ref>
* The names "Agamemnon" and "Ajax" are also names of Astute-Class submarines being built for the Royal Navy.

{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp MkII (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long-range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Asp Explorer''' has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game and thus is very good for use as an exploration ship. It has six weapon [[hardpoint]]s and has a good turning radius for its size which makes the Asp good for more than just exploration. The Asp can act as a heavy-duty, bounty-hunting vessel due to its large capacity for weaponry and its decent maneuverability. [[Pirate]]s can also use the Asp to great effect because of the ample cargo capacity, heavy armament, long jump range and large mass (allowing it to charge its own [[Frame Shift Drive]] with minimal mass disruption while also mass disrupting the frame shift drive of most [[ships]]). The Asp Explorer also features a copilot seat located directly under the player's seat, visible while outfitting the ship.

==Overview==
The Asp Explorer's weapon hardpoints are located as follows: On each side of the cockpit, 1 medium hardpoint above the waterline and 1 small hardpoint below the waterline (total 2 medium, 2 small), and 2 small hardpoints located directly beneath the cockpit. Due to the shape of the ship and the hardpoint locations, the medium hardpoints and small hardpoints share a small field of fire (i.e mostly directly ahead). Pilots should be aware that Turrets in both Medium Hardpoints will have firing arcs above the cockpit where the pilot can generally see the target that the turrets are shooting at. However, turrets in all four Small Hardpoints will have firing arcs below the cockpit, where the target will tend to be obscured from the pilot's vision by the flight console and the floor.

The pilot's station is located along the centerline of the ship on the bridge. An Auxiliary station is located along the centerline of the ship below the bridge which is directly underneath the pilot's station.

While the Asp Explorer packs a decent amount of firepower, it lacks optimal heat dissipation, noticeably suffering in combat situations when equipped with thermal weaponry. This also can present difficulties during fuel scooping, especially when using a small [[Fuel Scoop]].

The Asp Explorer has an available 12 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/asp-ship-kit-12-pieces.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.

The Asp Explorer can be purchased at a 20% discount at Irkutsk station in the Alliance capital system of [[Alioth]].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=122593 Discounted purchase price forum article]</ref> It can also be purchased from some stations in [[Li Yong-Rui]] controlled systems at a 15% discount.

{{Quote|The Beluga Class Liner is one of the most prestigious vessels to travel the space lanes. Only the Imperial Gutamaya liners rival these glorious vessels. If you want to travel in style, this is the vessel to do it in. A fighter hangar can be equipped to these ships.|In-game Description}}
The '''Beluga Liner''' is a passenger [[ships]] added in "The Guardians" update 2.2.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA_FcXnyV5Q Elite Dangerous patch 2.2 - aliens, space stations & more Gamescom 2016], 2016-08-17</ref> Comparable to an [[Imperial Cutter]] in mass and even bulkier in volume, the Beluga is designed to carry passengers to their destination in comfort; only it and its smaller cousins the [[Orca]] and the [[Dolphin]] can be equipped with Luxury Suite Cabin modules, allowing it to transport VIPs. Slow and cumbersome, the Beluga is difficult to maneuver inside a dock, but features a Class 7 [[Frame Shift Drive]] and a massive [[Fuel Tank]] that gives it an impressive travel range for long-distance cruises. The Beluga Liner is one of the eight ships capable of equipping a [[Fighter Hangar]].

The ship might have heat management issues, especially while entering and exiting a hyperspace jump. This can be somewhat mitigated with higher grade power plants.

The Beluga does suffer though from a lack of outfitting space to fit a [[Fighter Hangar]] and a [[Fuel Scoop]] superior to a class 4 since it cannot fit a [[Shield Generator]] of this size and of the numerous [[Reserved Compartment]]s.

Due to its high hull mass and lack of class 7 or above unreserved internal compartments, the Beluga is limited to fitting only Class 6 [[Shield Generator]]s. This makes it currently the only ship that is unable to fit an optimized mass shield generator.

The ship is available only to the owners of the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|Horizons expansion]].<ref>[https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/faq.php?id=345 Official FAQ]</ref>

== Pre-Release Description ==
{{Quote|Whale by name, whale by nature, the Beluga is one of the largest ships in the game. As a specialised Passenger Liner the Beluga has multiple module slots that can accommodate all types of passenger cabins. Well armoured, and decently quick for such a large civilian ship, the Beluga has a similar speed to the Hauler. When escorting passengers across the galaxy you’ll need defence, so the Beluga has 6 utility mounts and 5 medium hardpoints. The Beluga has plenty of mid-range sized internal slots (4 threes, 1 four, 2 fives and 4 sixes). The Beluga can fit a size 7 FSD, but it’s a very heavy ship so it’s more suited for multiple jumps rather than giant leaps.|From Gamescon 2016 Day One Complete Thread dev post}}

{{quote|Saud Kruger are famed for their range of luxury passenger vessels. This is their top of the line vessel (although they do offer custom built vessels that are bigger) and is capable of carrying passengers in extreme comfort and elegance. For its size and class it's also quite capable of defending itself.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Orca''' is a large ship manufactured by Saud Kruger and is currently one of three available passenger ships, the others being the [[Beluga Liner]] and the [[Dolphin]]. As a Saud Kruger ship, it is capable of carrying luxury suite cabins exclusive to this brand. Since this ship is not intended for combat or exploration, its class 6 internal compartment and one class 5 internal compartment are limited in what modules can be installed: only [[Cargo Rack]]s, [[Passenger Cabin]]s, [[Hull Reinforcement Package]]s, or [[Module Reinforcement Package]]s may be installed.

==Overview==
The bridge is located on the bottom of massive window in the front of the ship, with the pilot's station offset to the port side. From there the pilot enjoys excellent viewing angles in all directions but down.

Where officially its maneuverability is slightly better than an [[Anaconda]] and worse than a Beluga Liner, in practice the Orca handles far better than this rating suggests. It has a remarkably high turn rate, high acceleration and max speed, and is very good at strafing. However, its relatively small power plant and limited hardpoint capacity prevents it from becoming a great combat ship. It doesn't help that its large size makes it an easy target, whereas its shield and armor hitpoints are mediocre for a ship of this size. Nevertheless the Orca is dangerous in the hands of a skilled pilot and is not to be underestimated.

The hardpoint placement of the ship is as follows: all 3 hardpoints are located on the underside of the ship. The large hardpoint is placed in front of the front landing gear, whereas the 2 medium hardpoints are located side by side behind the large hardpoint.

The Orca's heat dispersion capabilities are relatively poor, so caution must be taken when adding or engineering modules with a high thermal load. The ship is especially prone to overheat when scooping fuel.

==Notes==
* Initially decals could not be fitted. Now they can and even some basic paint jobs are available (Vibrant pack, Tactical pack, and Military pack)
* The Orca sells for a 20% discount at Irkutsk in the Alioth system. (As Alioth is the political center of the Alliance, a system permit is required. Places to get such a permit include Rominger Dock in the 78 Ursae Majoris system. Look for the "Permit Acquisition Opportunity" job on the Mission Board. Be aware that you will need an allied reputation with the Alioth Independents faction in order to accept this job.)
* A 'fasten seatbelt' tone will sound in the cabin when using this ship's boost.
* According to the Newsletter #84, with 0.016% of players piloting it the Orca is the least popular ship in the game.
