Federal Assault Ship

Next up in the medium-class combat ship lineup: the Federal Assault Ship. The FAS has the sharp angles and utilitarian aesthetic that is the hallmark of all Federal ships, and despite resembling a flying brick, is surprisingly agile.
To me, this ship felt like a bigger Vulture, and I fit it in a similar fashion accordingly. For the large hardpoints, we fit 2 overcharged Burst Lasers. Pack Hound seeker missile launchers occupy both medium hardpoints.
The playstyle with this FAS loadout is very similar to the Vulture: target the enemy's thrusters, burn down their shields with Burst Lasers, take out their thrusters with seeker missiles and then pick them apart as they spin uncontrollably. The only differences are that the Federal Assault Ship can more easily take on multiple enemies at once, and the high-DPS nature of Pack Hound missiles means that the target's hull is usually destroyed before their thrusters.
Unlocking both the ship and the Pack Hound missiles required putting in a great deal of work for the Federation and Li Yong-Rui, respectively, but the way this ship performs makes it a worthwhile investment.
