What you're getting

• Item type: CCU / ship upgrade
• Game: Star Citizen
• Upgrade target: Drake Interplanetary Ironclad Assault
• Manufacturer: Drake Interplanetary
• Role: Heavy Dropship
• Delivery: RSI Gifting System

Key features

• Weapons: The Ironclad Assault expands the armament of the Ironclad and is equipped with a manned armament of two size 3 quad turrets, two size 3 twin turrets at the bow and one ventral size 5 quad turret, which serve the purpose of delivering deadly air support and ensuring the safe clearance of landing zones. Additionally, it boasts two remote dorsal twin Size 3 turrets that can be operated remotely from the Operations Bridge.
• Finally, two dorsal five-cell vertical launch systems allow for the carriage and launch of ten size 5 torpedoes even when landed
• Vehicle bay: The cargo bay of the normal Ironclad is repurposed explicitly for the carriage of vehicles in the Ironclad Assault, supporting up to four Tumbril Novas or their equivalent and presenting a forward ramp to allow vehicles to embark or disembark from the ship under their own power. The bay is also useful for the carriage of a large flight of snub fighters or their equivalent due to the retained retracting roof, allowing for vertical access.
• Despite this repurposing, the bay is still useful for heavy freight when the ship is not being used for its primary task, though lacking the Ironclad's tractor beam support
• Vehicle service bay: A comprehensive vehicle garage at the rear of the cargo bay allows for refueling, repairing, and re-arming ground vehicles along with fabricating new components for on-site replacement. The repair bay can repair both vehicles and ships and comes equipped with a fabricator
• Infantry support: The Ironclad Assault is constructed with an armory bridging over the forward ramp for the storage of personal arms and equipment, as well as eighteen jump-seats within and beside the armory. Six additional jump seats are divided between the port and starboard personnel airlocks, with additional weapon racks supporting these airlocks.
• The personnel airlocks lead to small platforms from which infantry can begin engaging enemies before completely departing the ship and from which infantry can re-enter the ship.
• A dedicated roof-top access ladder allows infantry to take an elevated position with ease, and the main airlock and docking collar on the starboard side of the ship stores further weapon racks and suit lockers separately from the main armory, allowing rapid readiness for EVA operations
• Command module: Capable of scouting in advance, providing aerial protection during cargo loading, or assisting in cargo management with the mounted tractor beam, the detachable command module can function autonomously, features quantum capabilities, and is armed and ready for combat with an attached remote turret.
• It additionally acts as an impromptu dropship for landings in constrained spaces or as an escape pod for the entire rated crew of the Ironclad Assault with the use of ten jump seats
• Habitation: The Ironclad Assault has a rated crew of nine, and can service all nine with quarters for six crewmen on the ship, a separate dedicated captain's quarters, and two bunks on the command module. As well as containing the crew quarters the ship's main habitation area includes a kitchen, mess, and two of the typical Drake Interplanetary hygiene booths, another of which is also available on both the command module
