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 FCB 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

{{quote|Most pilots start their careers in the Sidewinder. It is a classic ship design that has been in use (in various configurations) since 2982. Its original design was a light support ship and it lacked jump capability. Modern compact drives have enabled jump-capable versions to be created, making this a useful all rounder. Some navies still use these ships as fighters and patrol craft.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Sidewinder MkI''', built by [[Faulcon DeLacy]], is a superb multipurpose ship suitable for any role. It is inexpensive and can be used for light transport and [[combat]] duties. Most pilots begin their career in a Sidewinder.

Its manoeuvrability makes it an excellent choice for both green and experienced pilots. The Sidewinder is a dependable vessel that will get you where you need to go, safe and sound.

Uses the [[DeLacy Spin Ionic MV]].

==Overview==
The Sidewinder is the default craft offered throughout the game. The player starts in one, and if at any time their ship is destroyed they can get a free Sidewinder (lended by [[Pilots Federation]]) if they can't or don't want to replace their previous ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find themselves flying in a Sidewinder for a longer time or going back to it often.

Although the Sidewinder is cheap, it is not harmless; it is among the top when it comes to manoeuvrability compared to other [[ships]]. In particular, it can out-turn most other ships, being topped in that category only by the [[Eagle]], [[Vulture]], and [[Imperial Courier]], and has solid lateral thrust.

It is, however, one of the slowest-moving and weakest-hulled ships in the game; only the [[Anaconda]] and certain pure trade ships have slower maximum speeds, and only the Eagle has a weaker hull (but makes up for it with stronger shields.)

The Sidewinder is therefore an acceptable ship in a (figurative) knife-fight, but lacks firepower. When flying one, using its excellent turning to lock opponents into circling matches, and burning away opposite of the enemy to escape are advised tactics. When fighting a Sidewinder, keep it at range and lay down heavy fire if the current ship can't outmanoeuvre it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 2 small hardpoints in front of cockpit on upper surface of ship.

The Sidewinder MkI has an available 16 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.

== Lore ==
The origin of the loaned Sidewinder and the beginning of every Commander is explained in the official Elite Dangerous Players Guide.<sup><ref>[http://hosting.zaonce.net/elite/website/assets/English-PlayersGuide_v2.00-Horizons.pdf Elite Dangerous Players Guide V2.00]</ref></sup>

''PRIMARY TRANSMISSION BEGINS...''

''To whom it may concern,''

''It is our solemn duty to deliver to you a package left with us, from a benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous at this time. The package was placed in our care with instructions to be delivered in the event – and only in the event – of your successful membership of the Pilot’s Federation.''

''We have been so notified of said acceptance, following your grading in the recruitment aptitude exams, and so are carrying out this transaction in the manner as specified by our client’s wishes.''

''The package is two-fold. Encoded into this transmission is the first part: a secure code. Use this code to access a starship account, pre-configured with your credentials, including a fully paid, indefinite lease, and comprehensive insurance cover. The second part of the package is a credit transfer to your personal account, which I can confirm was successfully completed at the time this transmission was dispatched.''

''The attached message was also to be delivered to you upon receipt of the access code. We feel this matter has now been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us. The normal fees of one thousand two hundred credits (1200 CR) per hour (plus Federal Service Tax) apply, plus a one off initial contact fee of five thousand credits (5000 CR).''

''Yours sincerely''

''J. Sneer''

''You may be puzzled right now as to why you’ve just received this little windfall. Nothing wrong with that – I’d be worried if you weren’t.''

''But now get ready for lesson number one. When a golden opportunity comes your way – and trust me, they’re few and far between, my friend – reach out and grab it with both hands. Sometimes it’s clever to ask questions, and sometimes it’s not. This time it’s not.''

''All you need to know is that my organisation has a very specific remit: to seek out those who have the potential to become real movers and shakers, those precious few with the talent to mould and shape the galaxy around them, to create change on a grand scale.''

''We find them, and then we test them. Consider this your test.''

''Take the ship. Take the money. No strings, no hidden clauses. Do with them what you will.''

''Blaze your own trail.''

''Impress me, perhaps you’ll learn more.''

''A Friend''
