The Alliance Crusader is a ship manufactured by Lakon Spaceways for the Alliance. It represents a middle-ground between the Alliance Chieftain and the Alliance Challenger,[1] combining heavy firepower with a Fighter Hangar for Ship-Launched Fighters and two additional pilot seats to accommodate Multicrew.[2] 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 Thargoids.[3]
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 Compartments 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.[4]
Trivia
- Like the Alliance Chieftain and Alliance Challenger, the Alliance Crusader is named after a British tank, 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.
