Drake Ironclad Assault [LTI]

Drake Ironclad Assault [LTI] – Buy a Heavy Dropship for Combined-Arms Operations

The Drake Ironclad Assault [LTI] is a large multicrew ship for Star Citizen, built by Drake Interplanetary for vehicle deployment, infantry transport, combat support, and battlefield logistics. This offer is aimed at players and organizations that need more than a conventional cargo ship: the Ironclad Assault combines a substantial vehicle area with personnel facilities, onboard support functions, and defensive weapon systems.

The ship is listed as flyable in the current Alpha 4.8 game context. As with other Star Citizen ships under development, specifications and gameplay features may be adjusted by Cloud Imperium Games during future development.

What the Drake Ironclad Assault Is Built to Do

The Assault variant is designed as a heavy dropship and combined-arms platform. Its large rear vehicle area is intended to move ground vehicles into operational zones, while its internal layout supports the personnel and equipment needed to deploy and sustain a ground force.

• Vehicle deployment: Transport compatible ground vehicles through the ship’s large rear vehicle area.
• Infantry operations: Carry personnel using jump seats, access points, weapon racks, and armory or storage areas.
• Combat support: Provide onboard defensive and combat-support weaponry during approach, deployment, extraction, and defensive operations.
• Vehicle servicing: Support intended repair, refueling, rearming, and component-fabrication functions for vehicles operating from the ship.
• Multicrew coordination: Give a larger group of players defined operational roles across the bridge, turrets, vehicle area, and support spaces.

Key Ship Profile

Why Choose the Assault Variant?

The Ironclad Assault is more specialized than a ship intended only to move standard cargo. Its design prioritizes the movement of a combined force: vehicles, infantry, weapons, armor, and supporting equipment. This makes it suitable for organized groups planning ground operations, convoy support, contested-zone insertions, and extraction missions.

Its onboard vehicle-service facilities are intended to reduce the need to treat every deployment as a one-way operation. Depending on the final implementation of these systems, the ship can support the vehicles it carries with functions such as refueling, repair, rearming, and component fabrication. Exact vehicle compatibility and practical operating limits may change as Star Citizen develops.

The ship also includes a detachable command module. Its intended roles include scouting, supporting cargo operations, combat use, constrained-space landings, and emergency evacuation. Detailed command-module behavior remains dependent on the game’s implementation and future balancing, so it should not be treated as a substitute for a separate specialized ship in every situation.

What LTI Means for This Ship

LTI means Lifetime Insurance and refers to the insurance attribute associated with the offered pledge or package. It is not a combat upgrade, does not increase the Ironclad Assault’s cargo capacity, and does not change its flight characteristics, weapons, crew requirements, or support functions.

LTI should also be understood separately from an in-game ship purchase made with aUEC, a rental, a CCU, or an account sale. The exact pledge-transfer and account-delivery procedure depends on the selected offer and applicable store policies. Insurance does not automatically imply coverage for cargo, components, upgrades, or other equipment.

Who Is the Drake Ironclad Assault For?

• Players forming a regular multicrew group around vehicle and infantry operations.
• Organizations that need a central platform for coordinated ground deployments.
• Commanders who want a dropship with integrated vehicle-service capabilities.
• Ground-force teams requiring transport for personnel, equipment, and compatible vehicles.
• Drake Interplanetary fans looking for a rugged, utility-focused large ship with a combat-support role.

This ship may be excessive for solo players seeking a compact daily transport or a simple cargo hauler. If your main goal is acquiring a different type of Star Citizen ship, explore the Star Citizen ships collection for other available options. Players who need in-game funds for ships, vehicles, or equipment can also review the Star Citizen aUEC service.
