The class 4 plasma accelerator has the same DPS as the class 2 Imperial hammer. Though it has more ammunition and a lower rate of fire. Also currently the federal ships are far superior over the imperial ships and so I believe that the Imperials are being supplied with better internals - imperial hammers, prismatic shields e.t.c.

Part of the reason of why I want this ships is to show that I am federal and to show my federal rank.

Standard Docking Computer

31.49.136.69:

A '''standard docking computer''' is a ship module that automates docking with a space station. They first appeared in Standard Beta 1 and cost 4,500 CR.

== Uses ==
Docking computer can be used with any ship and might be especially handy for players who find the docking process to be hard or don't want to keep doing it every time they dock. It is very useful to dock larger ships too, as those require more precise maneuvering.

The docking computer is automatically activated when docking permission is granted. If the ship is moving a message will appear to slow down before the docking computer will take control of the ship. When the throttle is set to zero or if the ship was initially stopped, the docking computer will begin maneuvering the ship. To cancel the auto-docking computer sequence and hand control back to the pilot, put power to forward thrusters.

'''Note:''' Docking computers are generally significantly less efficient than a pilot with some experience. They also tend to have trouble if anything bumps you, especially as you pass through the docking port. Generally they are reliable, but will sometimes cut out once inside the station leaving you to manually traverse to your pad.

== History ==
Docking Computers first appeared in the original [[Elite]] game. They were costly, but worth the investment as docking was - for the time - a complex process, during which even experienced players occasionally crashed their ship. Automated docking also was faster.

During automated docking, the computer would play "The Blue Danube" by Richard Strauss, a reference to the (very slow) docking scene in movie ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' by Stanley Kubrick which was set to the same piece.
