{{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]]. 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.

{{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 '''(commonly abbreviated as FDL) 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. It is the only medium ship capable of mounting class 4 weaponry.

Although fast, manoeuvrable and well armed, the Fer-De-Lance suffers from a few major drawbacks, which include a poor FSD jump range, tiny fuel tank and a limited number of internal compartments for its size.

Utilizing the class 6 powerplant Fer-De-Lance has a relatively low heat signature, and is well-suited for both shielded (using a [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell]] does not result in a major overheating, and the strong base shielding can be improved further with shield boosters) and shieldless builds (small heat output, durable hull and the ability to mount several [[Heat Sink Launcher|heat sinks]] without sacrificing other utility modules allowing for prolonged silent running).

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: two top mounted class 2 hardpoints on the nose about a quarter of the way back from the tip, two side mounted class 2 hardpoints at about the ship's midpoint, and a single bottom mounted class 4 (huge) hardpoint in the centre of the ship's frame. Four out of six utility mounts are located around the huge hardpoint on the bottom, with the other two being behind the cockpit, next to the fins on top of the vessel.

The Fer-De-Lance has different heat radiator animations for general heat dissipation and Frame-Shift Drive charge up for hyperspace. While both feature the animation of the same yellow/orange lighted radiators, the Frame-Shift Drive charging animation also features blue lighted radiators and two blue beams. The blue beams are projected from slightly behind the cockpit and are visible from the cockpit from the side windows on both sides.

The pilot's station is offset right from the centerline. The Auxiliary station is offset left from the centerline and although it is side by side with the pilot's station, is slightly farther back from the front canopy.

==Notes==
* In the original Elite it was faster than the [[Cobra]] (but not playable).
* Added to game in version 1.2.
* Some weapons on the huge hardpoint clip into the bottom of the hangar when viewed in Outfitting.
* The radiators on the outside of the engine pods glow blue while FSD is charging.
* Prior to 1.5/2.0 the ship utilized a class 5 powerplant, resulting in ''major'' power issues.
