This is the blueprint for the Core Dynamics Federal Assault Ship. Agile, tough and deadly this is the choice of many a bounty hunter.
This ship requires the Federal Navy rank of Chief Petty Officer for a player to purchase it in the game.
First introduced in version 1.4 the CQC expansion.
This is the blueprint for the Lakon Spaceways Type-7 Transporter. The Volvo of the skies, this ship is "boxy but good" and the ideal trader stepping stone before moving on to a Python or Imperial Clipper.
First introduced in version 0.1 Gamma 2.
I've finished drawing the ship blueprints, which I will continue to publish one per day.
But while I'm refining some and translating others, I've also set out to put together the first draft of the "every ship to scale" chart I set out to build in the first place.

This is the blueprint for the Core Dynamics Federal Dropship. The dropship is a workhorse military transport. Far from agile, it is well armed and tough.
This ship requires the Federal Navy rank of Midshipman for a player to purchase it in the game.
First introduced in version 1.1 Community Goals expansion.
This is the blueprint for the Lakon Spaceways Asp Explorer. The most popular long-range exploration ship, the Asp has brought many commander back safely from the far side of the galaxy. Better equipped than it's smaller Diamondback cousin, the Asp is far bigger; more cargo, more jump range and more utility slots. The only ship with better jump range (currently) is a stripped-down Anaconda. Something requiring a much larger budget!
First introduced in version 0.1 Beta 2.
This is the blueprint for the Core Dynamics Vulture. The Vulture is the attack-dog of space, far tougher than any ship of it's size and while as large as a type-6 transporter, the Vulture is almost as agile as an Eagle; plus with two large weapon hard-points it packs a hell of a punch! With the Federal Assault Ship and Fer De Lance, this ship is the third alpha predator of the Elite: Dangerous universe.
First introduced in version 1.2 for the Wings expansion.
