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

Vulture

{{quote|The Vulture space superiority fighter sacrifices hardpoint flexibility for manoeuvrability. Advanced manufacturing techniques have allowed the Vulture to integrate large hardpoints into its relatively small frame, offsetting the ship's limited weapon count, but its nimble flight characteristics make it equally devastating against smaller targets. A limited cargo and passenger capability has not stopped it becoming a preferred personal transport for those who like to project a certain attitude in their dealings.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]].

With its two large (class 3) [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small frame. Although it lacks top speed compared to other ships, its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, thus allowing for more powerful lateral slides and vertical hops.

The Vulture's main drawback is its limited power capacity given the two large hardpoints and the excessive amounts of utility mounts and internal compartments on offer, which can be counteracted to a degree by smart [[module priority control]] and sacrifices in the loadout choice.

The two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hull of the ship. They are well suited for any type of [[weapons|weapon]] mount — fixed, gimballed, or turreted — and capable of shooting at targets even slightly underneath the waterline of the hull. A loadout of two fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets like [[Sidewinder]]s, [[Eagle]]s, or [[Hauler]]s.

The Vulture has two visible manned stations. The pilot's chair is on the centerline of the ship. The auxiliary station is offset to the left and is above and behind the pilot's station.

*The Vulture was originally priced at 21,925,615 CR. After an outcry from the community that it was overpriced, Frontier lowered the cost of the Vulture to 4,925,615 CR.

{{quote|The Fer-de-Lance is another classic design that has now been in production for two centuries. The ship became famous for its popularity with top business executives and wealthy bounty hunters, being a fast, well armed vessel, with luxurious accommodation and high quality components fitted as standard. Early models were built by Zorgon Peterson, but more recently, limited numbers have been upgraded by Saud Kruger in a rare collaboration, resulting in even more lavish creations, without spoiling the original design and specification requirements.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Fer-de-Lance''' is a heavy combat ship, featuring a hull that is a bit more resistant to smaller [[weapons]] than other ships of its class,<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120789&p=1873136&viewfull=1#post1873136 Sandro Sammarco in the Official Forums]</ref> making it well suited in the role of bounty hunting.

Although fast, maneuverable and well armed, the Fer-De-Lance suffers from several major drawbacks which include a poor FSD jump range, a very limited number of internal compartments and an undersized power plant. The recent release of the Horizons expansion corrected the latter problem with the '''Fer-De-Lance '''receiving an upgrade in its power plant, moving up from a class 5 to class 6 module.

The weapon hard points are located as follows: Two top mounted Class 2 medium hardpoints on the nose about 1/4 of the way back from the tip, Two side mounted Class 2 medium hardpoints at about the ship's midpoint, and One bottom mounted Class 4 huge hardpoint between 1/2 and 2/3rds back from the front tip.

It epitomises elegance of form while packing a good punch. Officially the class is used to provide transport for officials that don't warrant the use of a Cutter or Interdictor. However its flexibility means that it fills many roles within the Imperial Navy and prominent citizens.|In-game description}}
The '''Imperial Courier''' is a fast multipurpose ship just barely larger than the Sidewinder. It is the third-lightest-hulled playable ship (after the Sidewinder and Hauler) thus far but its upgrades are heavier.

The Imperial Courier is armed and [[shield]]ed well; makes a great fighter in combat. In terms of agility it ranks somewhere close to the [[Viper]]. While it has a good pitch rotation speed, its weak vertical-lateral thrusters cause the Courier to drift a lot more than [[Viper]]. Even though the Courier has the same top boost speed as Viper, it's slightly slower as it can't boost as often as Viper and drops down from the top speed faster.

The weapon hardpoints are located in the following places: 1 medium hardpoint at the front of each engine pylon, and 1 medium hardpoint underneath the nose.
