The '''Farragut 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 ~~emphasizes~~ utility over style and comfort, and in a direct, one-on-one confrontation with ~~the~~ Imperial ~~capital ship~~, the Farragut holds the advantage in terms of raw firepower and combat endurance.

The Farragut Battle Cruiser is over two kilometers long, heavily-armed with ~~classified~~ weaponry, and equipped with hangars capable of transporting multiple [[Federal Corvette]]s ~~and~~ [[F63 Condor]] squadrons.

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.

Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Farragut Battle Cruisers have been destroyed by [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s ~~due to~~ the former's vulnerability to [[Thargoid]] shutdown fields. ~~Since~~ 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 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 Community Goal: Operation Andronicus]</ref>

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>

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>

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>

* [[David Braben]] describes the Farragut Battle Cruiser: ''"~~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>

*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.

**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.

-Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Farragut Battle Cruisers have been destroyed by [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s due to the former's vulnerability to [[Thargoid]] shutdown fields. Since 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 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 Community Goal: Operation Andronicus]</ref>
+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>

+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>

-* [[David Braben]] describes the Farragut Battle Cruiser: ''"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.

+**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.
