If you're looking for a combat ship in Elite Dangerous, then the federal gunship is a great choice. It is manoeuvrable and can be equipped with Class 4 weapons, making it the perfect ship for PvP combat.
The Federal Gunship is a medium-sized ship that was manufactured by Core Dynamics for the Federation. It is very heavily armoured and armed, boasting seven weapon hardpoints and four utility mounts.
It also has a hangar for two fighters, which allows it to hold itself in a fight against several enemies. It is one of the best ships in PvP, as it can easily raze anything it comes into contact with.
Another federal ship that you can use in PvP is the Federal Corvette, which can be outfitted with a size 8 internal slot to add an engineered prismatic shield. Its hefty armor will let you take less damage from enemies than other ships, but you'll need to be careful not to overheat or run out of ammo in a high-risk situation.
The federal gunship is a good ship for PvP, and it's a lot cheaper than the imperial cutter. However, it is slower than the other ships, so you may want to keep it in a solo session or private server. You'll need to get a military rank before you can use it (at least the rank of Chief Petty Officer). It has a cost of 55,867,041 CR and insurance of 2,793,352 CR.
