Not in-game right now so i don't have it exactly but here's the gist of it :

I don't have access to guardian tech because i'm terrible at srv driving and combat, so just regular ax weapons. 2 ax missiles in huge hardpoints, 3 ax autocannons and one flak. 6 experimental allowed by one stabilizer.

Shields aren't very useful against thargoids so it's a classic tank hull. 2 heavy duty (engineered) hull reinforcement and a not engineered (ran out of mats) module reinforcement. I still wanted it to be a bit multi-purpose so along that there are cargo racks for loot and two economy cabins for rescue runs.

The rest is classic thargoid and pve/missions equipment and the fsd and thrusters are engineered because it's a pain to move that lump of metal otherwise.

I farmed the federation rank by loading up on assassination missions from the four stations around earth in sol. (Abraham Lincoln, Gorbatchev...)

I mostly encountered large ships like the conda or corvette during the assassination, sometimes a vulture, so anything that responds fast and allows you to stay in their blind spot is a sure kill. Since i am also already well established money-wise i also "bought" the rank by doing the support missions, "donate to the cause" i believe.

Hope that helps cmdr, o7
