The '''Federal Gunship''' is a support combat ship introduced in the [[CQC]] Update. As most of ships built by Core Dynamics it has a bulky design with the cockpit located at the very nose of the ship. It is a faction-specific ship, requiring a rank of Ensign with the [[Federation]] to purchase.

The '''Federal Gunship''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Core Dynamics]] for the [[Federation]]. Purchasing it requires achieving a [[Federal Navy]] [[Federation/Ranks|rank]] of Ensign. An upgraded variant of the [[Federal Dropship]] and [[Federal Assault Ship]], the Federal Gunship sacrifices overall manoeuvrability for added firepower, very high armour for its size and cost, and the ability to carry a [[Fighter Hangar]].
   
  +
==Overview==
−
While being one of the slowest ships, the Gunship is very heavily armoured and features seven weapon hardpoints (two small, four medium and one large hardpoint), giving pilots an ability to get creative with their weapon loadouts. It has four utility mounts. It's also one of the few ships in the game that is capable of equipping a [[Fighter_Hangar|fighter hangar]], and is the only medium-sized ship besides the [[Keelback]] with that ability.
  
  +
The Federal Gunship is very heavily armoured and armed, possessing a total of seven weapon hardpoints. It has four utility mounts, and is one of four medium-sized ships capable of equipping a [[Fighter Hangar]], alongside the [[Keelback]], the [[Alliance Crusader]] and the [[Krait MkII]]. It can inflict potentially devastating damage on a target, provided the pilot can keep the target pinned down long enough.
   
  +
The Federal Gunship's manoeuvrability is below average, but by no means terrible. While its pitch rate is low, its yaw rate is considerably higher than other medium sized ships. Combining pitching and yawing while maneuvering allows the Gunship to be roughly as agile as the [[Python]]. The Gunship does suffer in terms of speed, as it is the slowest medium-sized ship and one of the slowest ships overall. Its low speed and powerful reverse thrusters does allow the Gunship to stop on a dime, unlike many heavy ships that require long breaking distances.
−
The Gunship doesn't have great maneuverability - it is let down by slow pitching speed, however its main and reverse drives are very powerful, capable of accelerating or slowing the ship down quickly.
  
   
−
It features a relatively large class 6 Power Plant and an oversized class 7 Power Distributor. The class 5 [[FSD]] is less than sufficient for a ship of this mass and size, which gives the Gunship one of the shortest jump ranges. Internal compartments are large (two class 6 and a single class 5), but scarce: with just five compartments in total outfitting options are restricted compared to the [[Federal Assault Ship|Assault Ship]] and the [[Federal Dropship|Dropship]].

It features a Class 6 [[Power Plant]] and a relatively large Class 7 [[Power Distributor]], but the Class 5 [[Frame Shift Drive]] is insufficient for the Gunship's mass and size, which gives it one of the shortest jump ranges of all ships. Internal compartments are large, but few in number: with just five compartments in total, outfitting options are restricted compared to the [[Federal Assault Ship]] and the [[Federal Dropship]]. This drawback of limited internal compartments has been partially offset by the addition of three [[Military Compartment]]s.

[[File:Convergence_fgun.png|thumb|250px|Federal Gunship hardpoint convergence]]
−
Weapon hardpoints are located as follows: a single large and two medium hardpoints on the bottom of the ship about a third of the length from the front; two medium hardpoints in the bumpers on either side of the cockpit; and two small hardpoints on top of the ship next to the heat vents.

The Federal Gunship's weapon hardpoints are located as follows: one Class 3 and two Class 2 hardpoints on the underside of the ship about a third of the length from the front; two additional Class 2 hardpoints in the bumpers on either side of the cockpit; and two Class 1 hardpoints on top of the ship next to the heat vents. The primary pilot's seat is set along the centerline of the vessel, and the secondary [[Multicrew]] pilot seat lies behind and above it, with an offset to the left.

The Federal Gunship is a tougher, more powerful version of its sibling, the Federal Dropship. With a total of seven hardpoints, the Gunship boasts a stronger combat profile than the Dropship, while its superior armour allows it to soak up more punishment. It may be slower and less agile than the Dropship, but this is by design - the Gunship has been created to dominate other ships, rather than outpace or outmanoeuvre them.

— In-Game Description

The Federal Gunship is a ship manufactured by Core Dynamics for the Federation. Purchasing it requires achieving a Federal Navy rank of Ensign. An upgraded variant of the Federal Dropship and Federal Assault Ship, the Federal Gunship sacrifices overall manoeuvrability for added firepower, very high armour for its size and cost, and the ability to carry a Fighter Hangar.

Overview

The Federal Gunship is very heavily armoured and armed, possessing a total of seven weapon hardpoints. It has four utility mounts, and is one of four medium-sized ships capable of equipping a Fighter Hangar, alongside the Keelback, the Alliance Crusader and the Krait MkII. It can inflict potentially devastating damage on a target, provided the pilot can keep the target pinned down long enough.

The Federal Gunship's manoeuvrability is below average, but by no means terrible. While its pitch rate is low, its yaw rate is considerably higher than other medium sized ships. Combining pitching and yawing while maneuvering allows the Gunship to be roughly as agile as the Python. The Gunship does suffer in terms of speed, as it is the slowest medium-sized ship and one of the slowest ships overall. Its low speed and powerful reverse thrusters does allow the Gunship to stop on a dime, unlike many heavy ships that require long breaking distances.

It features a Class 6 Power Plant and a relatively large Class 7 Power Distributor, but the Class 5 Frame Shift Drive is insufficient for the Gunship's mass and size, which gives it one of the shortest jump ranges of all ships. Internal compartments are large, but few in number: with just five compartments in total, outfitting options are restricted compared to the Federal Assault Ship and the Federal Dropship. This drawback of limited internal compartments has been partially offset by the addition of three Military Compartments.
