    I've flown it. It's one badass looking ship. But holy hell is it slow. Lumbering. And the firepower does not make up for that IMO. Also, landing on a planet with heavy gravity in the gunship is a nightmare. I would rather go for the assault ship.

I like to think of it more as a: "This commander is abiding the rules and helping out our policing staff, we should reward him with access to better ships" kind of deal.
    but how do you get a Federal rank without joining the faction?

    Look for missions with the faction logo on the right of the mission. Those are the ones. Though it's more worth your time to spam the charity missions as they give decent reputation per mission. Though it will cost you.

    That's not a bad idea, but it's entirely up to you. I mean you will have a large hardpoint then, which is nice. And some decent jumprange.

    yup. how does it handle in a combat situation?

    Like I told Beo last night, till they patch a way for you to access your ships from any station I'm not interested in having more than one ship

    I live by that concept. Never have more than one ship. If I want to fight I just buy another ship and sell the one I am currently using, vice versa. It's a decently nimble ship, amazing at stealth. And if you learn to control it well, you can take on dropships and other large ships without too much worry. Just be careful with the cockpit as it is a bit fragile. But it's got amazing field of view, which matters imo.

    the cobra cockpit isn't much better. hull reinforcement helped a little though
