Hello CMDR’s,
One ship that I really enjoy (and miss) flying is the Federal Dropship. I love the look of the ship and the feel of it also. Oh the coffee maker! I built my FDS, the Blue Bison to do the Palin missions before they were nerfed and had great fun with it. It was perfect for that role. It was easy to land near the Thargoid bases, had slots for everything I needed, and could easily handle the Imperial Clippers that would interdict me on the way back to Maia. But since those misions are no longer a thing my FDS doesn’t have a job to do anymore :-(
I have most of the big ships (yes I have a Python too), but I am looking for a good use for the FDS.
Would it be possible to turn an FDS into an all-in-one Ram Tah mission ship though? I’d put up with the short jump range if I could use it to do all aspects of the mission from collecting the tissue samples to getting the rest done. Could I rig it for silent running instead of purchasing a DBX to get the tissue samples? It does seem to run hot which is why I am skeptical for this role, but I am willing to re-engineer it if I can make that work. Good-bye G5 DD’s?
Still, I’d love to hear some interesting ideas of what CMDR’s are doing with the FDS? Does it shine in some role that I haven’t thought of?
