The Federal Gunship - Maximum Dakka! [Elite Dangerous Ship Review]

The Federal Gunship from Core Dynamics is the third iteration of the "brick" line of ships and the most expensive. Can this ship can serve as a budget Corvette or is more like an expensive Hauler?
Time to have a short look over this ship and review it, to see if it's a decent ship to fly the Federation flag, or if it's just another target for the Imperial Navy.

I fully engineered an Alliance Crusader to experience combat superiority and I was pining for this ship every minute I was flying that Lakon.

[@garynevills5562]

There's a commentator I follow that refers to war as "diplomacy by other means". I think that fits the Gunship.

[@Tamburello_1994]

Could never get it to work for me, but this review makes me want to re-think that!

[@Underb00t]

The meanest of doorstops. I use mine as a short range PvE brawler.

[@JG27Korny]

Thank you for making ED videos including role-playing, though the ship is quite an old design.

[@jaszicus]

I love this ship and its NOT ugly, its gorgeous! When im flying it, im in the pipe, five by five and delivering wrath in the form of bullets

[@user-xj7tx7cq8l]

Its also my go-to ship, totally agree when called the "catharsis ship"

[@vexpac]

Love that ship. Mine is named, Hammer of Mars

[@Lupinicus1664]

All multicannon build, very satisfying 😊

[@lightwoven5326]

Gunship is good at Spire sites.

[@voidwizard2067]

Own most ships in the game, a few of number of them all engineered. But this, this is easily my favorite combat ship in the game. Just fyi, I do not like the Dropship at all and was surprised how poor it was. The Assault ship is fairly nice though.

[@darkseraph2009]

Can't wait to hear one on the Phantom or the type-9!

[@Bean41]

I love my Gunship, run mine with 4 rails (either short or long range with super pen) and 6 torps with reverb. Nothing is funnier then getting pulled by a cocky big ship with Prismatics and hitting them with the 1 2 of reverb the generator then hit the power plant till it dies. Even with combat fit I’m getting 22ly with a scoop (running shieldless).

[@williamvorkosigan5151]

It's a fun ship with a SLF. Mine is called DFMF Bengal. Because it has all the Dhaka, Dhaka, Dhaka! It is quite a fun ship to fly. Just runs out of ammo a little too quickly.

[@rst872]

ive ended up using this ship for alot of my thargoid combat, its good for the titan runs and pretty good at killing the interceptors too

[@austinmartin612]

Honestly, I bought one just for the fact it has 4 medium hardpoints which I could slot packhounds into. 2 Small Thermal Vent 1 Large Thermal Shock beam laser, 4 packhounds. Not the most effective build I'll admit, but fun

[@turbomonkeyexpress]

Try out a FGS equipped with all shock cannons. It's hilarious fun if not terribly low on ammo.

[@EscanthonX]

To this day I haven't decided on a hardpoint configuration. Right now it's 3 beams and 4 rails and it does ok. Frags are next, all of them. But it doesnt feel fast enough, though I suppose we'll see. Looks too good to leave it in storage for long

[@clockwork6966]

I kinda find it to be like a type 10, with its class leading firepower, pretty slow speed but surprising manoeuvrability with a little skill, and am absurd amount of armour.

[@cmdrwhiskeygalore3044]

It has the capacitor and power plant to use pre-engineered guardian plasma chargers which are the best weapons for PVE believe it or not. It was also very good at killing orthrus until the Python Mk II came along. One gunship farmed 5 billion for me on titan orthrus on first three titans. I now farm orthus using P II at alerts. P II has replaced a lot of ships. T8 will replace many more
