The '''Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser''' is a [[battlecruiser]], manufactured by [[Core Dynamics]], exclusively for the [[Federation]]. As a [[Capital Ship|capital ship]], it serves as the backbone of the [[Federal Navy]] and the core of each of its fleets. In contrast with its [[Imperial Navy]] counterpart, the [[Majestic-Class Interdictor]], the Farragut emphasises utility over style and comfort, and in a direct, one-on-one confrontation with its Imperial counterpart, the Farragut holds the advantage in terms of raw firepower and combat endurance.


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.
==Overview==
{{Quote|The Federation's capital ships are brutal, practical war machines inside and out. 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.|''The Art of Elite Dangerous''<ref name=":0">The Art of Elite Dangerous, August 17 2016</ref>}}
The Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser is over two kilometers long and heavily-armed with the following weaponry: 20 Federal Laser Turrets, 8 Federal Broadside Cannons, and 8 Capital Torpedo Launchers (inoperable). It is equipped with hangars capable of transporting multiple smaller Federal military ships, such as [[Federal Dropship|Federal Dropships]], to be launched as low orbit bombers,<ref>[https://galnetarchive.blogspot.com/2014/12/federal-warships-bomb-farms.html GalNet: Federal Warships Bomb Farms]</ref> or even larger [[Federal Corvette]]s<ref name="CompletesWork" /> as well as [[F63 Condor]] squadrons. It is equipped with a capital-class [[Frame Shift Drive]]<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/uas-barnacles-more-thread-6-the-canonn.227901/page-390#post-4088631 Frontier Forums: UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 6 - The Canonn, post #7788] </ref> with an undisclosed jump range. The [[Federal Navy]] uses the Farragut as an integral part of its Intervention Fleets, which are used to investigate and intervene in larger-scale conflicts.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref>


== Design ==
From 3278 to 3302, the construction of Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers as well as other capital ships was restricted by the terms of the [[London Treaty]], which was created to prevent an arms race between the superpowers that was projected to occur with the introduction of the [[Frame Shift Drive]]. Imperial Senator and Fleet Admiral [[Denton Patreus]] publicly spurned the London Treaty on October 21, 3302 in a speech in which he declared he would build as many capital ships as the Empire needed for its defence, marking the Empire's withdrawal from the treaty and heralding its dissolution.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57ada8c69657baeb6e876c6d GalNet: Galactic News: Economic Turmoil Ahead?]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5809dff79657baf8216962ee GalNet: Galactic News: Patreus Rails against London Treaty]</ref>
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>''
Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers have been destroyed by [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s as a result of the former's vulnerability to [[Thargoid]] shutdown fields. Due to the fact that the anti-xeno countermeasures developed for smaller ships have proven prohibitively difficult to scale-up for capital ships, the international research and defence organisation [[Aegis]] has declared that capital ships are ineffective at protecting outposts, planets, and shipping lanes from Thargoid attacks at present. Instead, anti-Thargoid efforts have been mainly spearheaded by militias of personal-scale craft.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59f30dd4826c1776ca623242 GalNet: Galactic News: Capital Ships Vulnerable to Thargoid Attack]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59fb5178adf339781710741f GalNet: Community Goal: Operation Andronicus]</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" />
During a period of increased tensions between the [[Federation]] and the [[Empire]] in late 3306 caused by the activities of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]], President [[Zachary Hudson]] convinced [[Federal Congress]] to approve a funding increase for the Federal Navy in order to expand production of Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fbfa6a3f502ec2bd049d15f GalNet: Empire and Federation Increase Capital Ship Production]</ref> With assistance from independent pilots, this resulted in five new Farraguts being fast-tracked for completion, with planned deployments in Atropos, Iman Caber, LHS 142, LFT 367, and Wolf 25.<ref name="CapConstruction">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fc8f4d5993bc86fbd2e6d46 GalNet: Capital Ship Construction Initiatives Conclude]</ref>
 
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>

*[[David Braben]] describes the Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser: ''"...there will be no [[gravity]], you'll just float around. Things like magnetic boots will make getting around very easy, and they wouldn't be great big clunky things like you might see on a diver. These would look like normal shoes but they'll have fancy technology that make them stick to the surfaces...the Federal ship is a lot more sort of Spartan, a lot more just practical warship essentially...the Federal ship's central section, and with design, one of the design briefs we've had, this is trying to design ships with their function in mind...For the Federal ship, it's utility that's important. The reason it's got this central corridor, this is where ships come out of their hangars and 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 very heavily protected and potentially with things like shields around it."''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4-gyDLRMXg&t=219 YouTube: Elite: Dangerous Progress Diary #6 (3:39)]</ref>
* 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>
*All Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers appear to share the registration tag of FDN-RD5.
* 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>

* 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.
**Routing the Farragut awards the player 500,000 CR.
* 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.
*Most Capital Ships have an exclusion zone, and flying too close to one can provoke it into attacking even if the player is on friendly terms with its controlling faction. In these cases, the Capital Ship will issue warning messages to ships that invade its exclusion zone.
* They can also be found at [[Capital Ship Dock]]s
**The exclusion zone is substantially smaller for capital ships inside of conflict zones, up to the point where the ship is almost touching the battle cruiser.
*The length of the Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser (2,040 meters) is roughly the same as six [[wikipedia:Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier|''Gerald R. Ford''-class aircraft carriers]] (337 meters) lined up end to end.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nDYYYqrhp4 YouTube: Elite ship scale 3.0]</ref>
*The majority of Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers are named after past and present warships of the British Royal Navy.
*The Farragut most likely gets its name from [[wikipedia:David Farragut|David G. Farragut]], the first American Admiral, for whom two U.S Navy destroyer classes have also been named.
*Despite their massive size, battlecruisers are surprisingly weak for their weapon complement.
**After a substantial nerf to prevent farming kills and combat bonds, the [[Engineers|Engineering]] update massively boosted single-pilot vessels, leaving capital ship weapons behind in terms of capability.
