{{quote|The Fer-de-Lance is another classic design that has now been in production for two centuries. The ship became famous for its popularity with top business executives and wealthy bounty hunters, being a fast, well armed vessel, with luxurious accommodation and high quality components fitted as standard. Early models were built by Zorgon Peterson, but more recently, limited numbers have been upgraded by Saud Kruger in a rare collaboration, resulting in even more lavish creations, without spoiling the original design and specification requirements.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Fer-de-Lance''' is a heavy combat ship, featuring a hull that is a bit more resistant to smaller [[weapons]] than other ships of its class,<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120789&p=1873136&viewfull=1#post1873136 Sandro Sammarco in the Official Forums]</ref> making it well suited in the role of bounty hunting.

Although fast, maneuverable and well armed, the Fer-De-Lance suffers from several major drawbacks which include a poor FSD jump range, a very limited number of internal compartments and an undersized power plant. The recent release of the Horizons expansion corrected the latter problem with the '''Fer-De-Lance '''receiving an upgrade in its power plant, moving up from a class 5 to class 6 module.

The weapon hard points are located as follows: Two top mounted Class 2 medium hardpoints on the nose about 1/4 of the way back from the tip, Two side mounted Class 2 medium hardpoints at about the ship's midpoint, and One bottom mounted Class 4 huge hardpoint between 1/2 and 2/3rds back from the front tip.

It epitomises elegance of form while packing a good punch. Officially the class is used to provide transport for officials that don't warrant the use of a Cutter or Interdictor. However its flexibility means that it fills many roles within the Imperial Navy and prominent citizens.|In-game description}}
The '''Imperial Courier''' is a fast multipurpose ship just barely larger than the Sidewinder. It is the third-lightest-hulled playable ship (after the Sidewinder and Hauler) thus far but its upgrades are heavier.

The Imperial Courier is armed and [[shield]]ed well; makes a great fighter in combat. In terms of agility it ranks somewhere close to the [[Viper]]. While it has a good pitch rotation speed, its weak vertical-lateral thrusters cause the Courier to drift a lot more than [[Viper]]. Even though the Courier has the same top boost speed as Viper, it's slightly slower as it can't boost as often as Viper and drops down from the top speed faster.

The weapon hardpoints are located in the following places: 1 medium hardpoint at the front of each engine pylon, and 1 medium hardpoint underneath the nose.
