{{quote|Developed by Core Dynamics, the Federal Dropship is a versatile combat vessel widely used by the Federal Navy. Boasting one large and four medium hardpoints, the vessel can contend even with larger ships such as the Python, while its two military compartments allow the pilot to enhance the ship's defensive profile.|In-Game Description}}

 

==Overview==

The Dropship is a very good [[combat]] vessel. Featuring one Class 3 hardpoint and four Class 2 hardpoints, it has no trouble dealing with ships lower than its price and can put up a good fight against even higher tier ships like [[Python]]s. Furthermore, the Dropship has above-average armour as well as two [[Military Compartment]]s, giving it additional bulk. It suffers from weak shielding and has rather poor mobility, so it is difficult to use against nimble ships like the [[Vulture]]. Overall, the Dropship is a respectable ship for both a [[Bounty Hunter]] or a [[Pirate]], but more likely to be used as a stepping stone on the path to a stronger vessel.

 

 

 

The Dropship is an excellent [[miner]]. Four medium hardpoints for one of each mining tool, while retaining a large hardpoint for self defense, small size, great cargo space and good defences make the Dropship a fantastic miner and can be a miner's next stepping stone after the [[Keelback]]. Its only downsides are its lack of a [[Fighter Hangar]] and its limited jump range, which can make reaching specific mining zones a chore.

==Trivia==

*"Dropship" is a science fiction term for a type of orbit-to-planet military "landing craft", by analogy to those deployed from ships to land.

*The wings on the Dropship are front-swept, which is seen on some aircraft and helps with lift.
