{{quote|The Federal Dropship is the Federation Navy's workhorse ship for tactical and special forces deployments. This is a well armoured and well armed ship capable of carrying large loads. Its versatile nature means that it is well suited to tackling even the most hostile environment.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Federal Dropship''' is one of the [[Federation]]'s ships and thus are generally sold at [[Station]]s that are aligned with the Federation (but has been seen at an independent [[shipyard]]). To purchase the Federal Dropship players must have earned the rank of [[Federation/Ranks|Midshipman]] with the Federation's Navy. Currently this ship isn't very appealing - due to its low mobility it is dominated in combat by most other [[ships]], cargo capacity is much lower than that of less expensive ships. However, the Federal Dropship does fill a great role in group player versus player engagements due to its excellent hardpoint size and placement.

The Federal Dropship is noted for its ability to remain functioning even when the hull is at very low integrity. This is due to its good module protection.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: Two side mounted Class 2 Medium hardpoints in front of the lower wing (One each side), two bottom mounted Class 2 Medium hardpoints located slightly behind the point at which the front fuselage tapering ends (One on each side of the underside), and One bottom mounted Class 3 Large hardpoint located under the nose of the ship and slightly forward of where the front fuselage tapering ends. Although all hardpoints have good to excellent fields of fire when fitted with turrets, the side mounted hardpoints benefit the most from turrets.
