{{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 '''{{PAGENAME}}''' 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 {{PAGENAME}} players must have earned the rank of [[Federation/Ranks|Ensign]] 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 {{PAGENAME}} does fill a great role in group player versus player engagements due to its excellent hardpoint size and placement.

{{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 '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a heavy combat ship that handles almost identically to the [[Viper Mk III]] despite being much larger, but has improved weapons capacity, slightly less severe power management issues, and much better shields and armour. The {{PAGENAME}}'s hull 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>

{{quote|Another classic design that has survived the centuries. The first vessel was constructed in 2700 by Whatt and Pritney Ship Constructions. With the demise of the company and after various mergers and takeovers the ship design is now owned by Faulcon deLacy. The ship remains the slow and sturdy craft it was originally famous for and some smaller navies still use this class as a patrol cruiser (although tiny compared to the Imperial Interdictors and Federal Battle cruisers).|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, boasting considerable manoeuvrability for its hulking size. Despite being exceptionally powerful and potentially useful in a variety of roles, the Python does suffer from exceptionally high operating costs, making it a potentially cost-prohibitive option for many pilots.

It is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, manoeuvrability, and protection currently available. In addition to being capable of holding its own against the larger [[Anaconda]] in a toe-to-toe frontal battle through its substantial protection and firepower, the {{PAGENAME}}''' '''is generally agile enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turret mounts.

{{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 '''{{PAGENAME}}''' 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 {{PAGENAME}} players must have earned the rank of [[Federation/Ranks|Ensign]] 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 {{PAGENAME}} does fill a great role in group player versus player engagements due to its excellent hardpoint size and placement.
