Figured out which female military sci fi character is going to be the name for my Chieftain dropship. She's going to named the Colette Ferro.

According to my calculations, and provided Inara's information about the basic hull and military composite cost of the Chieftain is correct, one outfitted as follows:

-Military Composite
-6A Power Plant
-6A Thrusters
-5A Frame Shift Drive
-5D Life Support
-6A Power Distributor
-4D Sensors
-4C Fuel Tank
-5A Shield Generator
-5D Hull Reinforcement
-4D Hull Reinforcement x4
-2D Hull Reinforcement x2
-Point Defence Turret
-Chaff Launcher
-0A Shield Booster x2
-3C Multicannon x2
-2F Pulse Laser
-1G Pulse Laser x3

(In other words, a generic gunfighting hull tank)

Would run about 104,048,268 credits. To give people a rough estimate what sort of credit line people need to have to A-rate a Chieftain.

Help! Help! Mayday! Mayday and SOS!
Where to buy the Alliance Chieftan? Can`t find it on this site, it says over 300Ly but I don`t give a dime if I have to travel over 3.000Ly to get my greedy hands on that ship.
So anyone bought it; please tell me where.
Thanks in advance.

Brynhikd Hervorsdottir;
Without the armament, utility and internal stuff but fully A-rated for the rest I came on 81.000.000 credits.
My layout would be almost the same as yours but with some minor differences.
-5A life support
-4A Sensors
-Point Defence Turret x2
-HeatsinkX1
-In the 3 Militairy slots 2x 4D hull- and 1x module-reinforcement
As far as I can tell it leaves 1 internal slot open to put in what is needed for a specific mission.
81 million credits for the basics, the most of the stuff I need I have lying around so that should clean up my attic (depot/storage).
Anyway; thanks for sharing Brynhild.

With Kind Regards,
El_Idiot (Leo)

Yes, upgrading to 5A class life support might in this case be advisable given the Lakon ship designer's insistence on retaining their distinctive bomber nose canopy even for combat craft.

are you installed in the beta to play it? I know that the station you first spawn in in the beta has every ship. Also keep in mind that the Chieftan is a Horizons only ship (no clue if that also includes the beta though).

So I'm doing a community goal in wangal (bounty hunt one) and I had to go to another system which was already recommended because there is no res site in wangal. I submitted 800,000 in bounties yet it's saying I haven't contributed. Is something wrong?

Hi Weener,

There seems to be some lag between handing in and any contributions showing up.

Once you leave the station (effectively changing into another instance) the contributions magically appear.
