I have about 45mil credits and I am a chief petty officer I am thinking about getting a federal dropship because i like the feel of heavy ships and have pretty much mastered a fa of turn letting me out maneuver an ship in the game it also has some nice cargo space and great fire power. I only have 45 mil credits so if any one can sugest a got build with deecent shild I would be very happy.
Ships Cheep FDS build and advise
- Thread starter VultureREck
- Start date
No idea on build, but a little tip from a former owner is it will "flip" and keep going same direction without FA-Off pretty well on it's own.
I've tried them in Beta's only but the current turreted weapons are very effective on an FDS (I had to break off an attack on an Elite FDS NPC in my Vulture as the turrets were real bad news (I know I should have had chaff launchers but they make such a mess 
))

Its kind of bountyhunter with pretty good weapons and some cargo space. Changing 6A shields to 5A you only lose 75 mj. Which is lot for dropship but very small amount if you compare to anything else. But you save
10mil.
You will never have big shields for it. You just have to compensate the lack of shields with good flying.

Keep in mind that the FDS doesn't have strong base shields, so even with the best possible shield generator and shield boosters you won't get an invincible shield. But you have enough internal compartments and utility slots for shield cell banks and chaff launchers, so make use of them.
Here's a medium budget FDS build: http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=704,3wU01Q0mI0_g5Rg5Rg5TE5Rs5Rs,2-9s9s7_8S9Y6u6k,0AA08c7Sk0727fO7fO2Uc
Notes: You can of course use gimballed weapons, but the FDS is manueverable enough to used fixed. Active PIP management is required for that though For the side slots I used two turrets...of course you can try other weapons here as well.
