==Overview==

The Federal Dropship is generally available for purchase at [[Station]]s controlled by minor factions that are aligned with the Federation. Systems controlled by [[President of the Federation|Federal President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] are guaranteed to have the Dropship on hand, along with other Core Dynamics vessels. Its body shape and design is shared with the Assault and Gunship, sometimes making it difficult to tell them apart at a glance. The Dropship is the cheapest of the three and the lowest needed federal rank

Its body shape and design is shared with the [[Federal Assault Ship|Assault]] and [[Federal Gunship|Gunship]], sometimes making it difficult to tell them apart at a glance. The Dropship is the cheapest of the three and the lowest needed federal rank.

The Dropship is a very good combat vessel. Featuring a large hardpoint and 4 medium 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|Pythons]]. Furthermore, the Dropship has fantastic shields and armour as well as two military compartments for extra defense making it bulky. It has rather poor mobility however so it is poor against nimble ships like [[Vulture|Vultures]]. Overall the Dropship is a fantastic ship for both a [[Bounty Hunter]] or [[Pirate]].

As a [[Trader]], the Dropship has 164T of space to haul cargo. This is very good for a medium ship; and is the ~~second~~ best of all non-large ships, behind ~~only~~ the much more expensive [[Python]]. Combined with its impressive defense, even when unshielded and ability to easily dodge interdictions the Dropship can be a very appealing trade ship. The biggest downside is its low jump range, especially when fully laden which may make trade options very limited.

As an [[explorer]], the dropship has a poor jump range of 20LY or so, one of the lowest for a medium ship. Needless to say, the Dropship is an ~~awful~~ exploration vessel and the cheaper [[Asp Explorer]] is a far better~~, but similar ship~~.

The Dropship is an excellent [[miner]]. 4 Medium hardpoints for mining lasers 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]].

==Trivia==

*Drop shipping is the practice of transferring goods directly to a customer, ~~amoung~~ other aspects. This would explain the ships high cargo capacity and lack of Fighter Hanger.

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