The '''Alliance Crusader''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]] for the [[Alliance]]. It represents a middle-ground between the [[Alliance Chieftain]] and the [[Alliance Challenger]],<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/443558-3-2-Launch-Announcement Frontier Forums: Beyond - Chapter Three Launch Announcement]</ref> combining heavy firepower with a [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]] and two additional pilot seats to accommodate [[Multicrew]]. By the looks of it, the Crusader boasts the same Hardpoint loadout as it's predecessor, the Chieftain.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/99h56d/spoilers_leaked_presentation_footage_from/ r/EliteDangerous: Leaked presentation footage from Frontier's Gamescom Community Meet]</ref> While the inclusion of the Fighter Hangar has resulted in a slight but noticeable decrease in overall speed and manoeuvrability, Lakon is confident that the Crusader can hold its own in any combat situation, especially against the [[Thargoid]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b7fedf14d1824475d5fbaaa GalNet: Lakon Releases Alliance Crusader]</ref>

==Overview==
The third ship in the Alliance faction ship series and the second variant of the [[Alliance Chieftain]], the Alliance Crusader's primary attraction is its ability to equip a [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]], a feature that both the Chieftain and the [[Alliance Challenger]] lack; as a result, it also boasts an additional pilot seat for [[Multicrew]], giving it a total of three seats versus the two of its companion ships. The Crusader retains the three [[Military Compartment]]s found in both of its predecessors.

== Notes ==
*The Alliance Crusader will be released with the Chapter Three (3.2) update of ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' on August 28, 2018.
*The Alliance Crusader's name was accidentally first revealed on the Frontier Store shortly after the release of the 3.1 update. It was promptly removed, leading many to believe that "Alliance Crusader" was an old internal name for the Alliance Challenger rather than a new ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/435235-Krait-Phantom-and-Alliance-Crusader Frontier Forums: Krait Phantom and Alliance Crusader]</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Like the [[Alliance Chieftain]] and [[Alliance Challenger]], the Alliance Crusader is named after a British tank. In this case, the A15 Crusader.
* Visually, the Crusader has an identical body to the Alliance Challenger, however its wings are instead those found on the Alliance Chieftain.

Standard Docking Computer

2016-09-15T14:46:08Z

91.64.143.213: /* Purchase Locations */

[[File:StandardDockingComputer_Ingame.png|320px|thumb]]
A '''standard docking computer''' is a ship module that automates docking with a space station or surface station (in ED Horizons). The process can be slow so it is not recommended for pilots who need to dock quickly.

<p style="color: red; text-align: center;">'''-Warning- '''Docking Computers are not perfect and may not work correctly at times, which can result in the destruction of
player ships. Although improper functioning has become very rare since v1.4, it does occur so remember that you can override the auto-dock sequence with throttle input or by turning off power to the standard docking computer in the modules tab.</p>

==Uses==
[[File:Anaconda being automatically docked in 1.4 Beta|thumb|330x330px]]
A 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, disable the docking computer module or put power to forward/backward thrusters.

'''Note:''' Docking computers 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.

'''Note:''' Docking computers will self deploy landing gear if the landing gear are not deployed before auto-dock is initiated. Docking Computers will dock you faster if you let them self deploy landing gear compared to pre-deploying the landing gear before auto-dock.

'''Note:''' Docking Computers may help prevent getting reckless flying fines from collisions as even when traveling above 100 m/s the speeding warning indicator does not appear while auto-docking.

'''Note:''' One can manually fly into the station or to the landing pad and then let the docking computer engage by pressing the 'X' key, which sets all throttle to zero and thus results in almost instant transfer of control to the docking computer.

==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 Johann Strauss II, a reference to the (very slow) docking scene in movie ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' by Stanley Kubrick which was set to the same piece.

==Trivia==
* First appeared in Standard Beta 1

{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp Mk II's (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}

As the name suggests this craft has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game. It has six weapon hardpoints and has a good turning circle for its size. Therefore the Asp is able to act as an explorer but also as a heavy duty bounty hunting vessel if the Viper is not to the player's taste and as an ideal pirate ship. Its ample cargo capacity and heavy armament make it ideal for this purpose. Its jump range also allows pirates to reach systems of a different faction to pay off any particularly fustrating bounties.

The main downside of the Asp is the lofty price tag with approximately a 5 million credit difference between the Asp and the Lakon-6, and 5.7 million credits more expensive than the Cobra, the last multipurpose vehicle before progressing to the Asp. This is a very large price gap worth consideration when deciding what spaceship to aim for.

As a trading vessel it is almost obsolete aside from its weaponry. The Lakon-6 is 5 million credits cheaper for a similar cargo capacity and similar jump range with an upgraded frame shift drive.
