The '''Fer-de-Lance''' is a | The '''Fer-de-Lance''' is a medium combat [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It features a hull that is more resistant to damage from Class 1 and 2 [[weapons]] than other medium ships.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120789&p=1873136&viewfull=1#post1873136 Sandro Sammarco in the Official Forums]</ref> It's alongside the [[Mamba]] only 1 of 2 medium ships capable of mounting Class 4 weaponry. Although fast, manoeuvrable, well-armed, and well-shielded, the Fer-de-Lance suffers from a few significant drawbacks: poor jump range, a small fuel tank, and limited internal compartments for its size. The Fer-de-Lance is difficult to recommend for any role besides [[combat]]. | ||

The Fer-de-Lance is outstanding in its role as a combat vessel. Its damage output is among the highest of all medium sized ships thanks to its high number of hardpoints including one Class 4, which have excellent convergence when firing allowing the use of fixed mounts on all of them. Among medium sized ships, only the [[Federal Gunship]], [[Python]], [[Krait | The Fer-de-Lance is outstanding in its role as a combat vessel. Its damage output is among the highest of all medium sized ships thanks to its high number of hardpoints including one Class 4, which have excellent convergence when firing allowing the use of fixed mounts on all of them. Among medium sized ships, only the [[Federal Gunship]], [[Python]], [[Krait Mk II]], and [[Mamba]] can compete with the Fer-de-Lance in terms of firepower, although the Fer-de-Lance is more manoeuvrable, meaning in practice it is usually more capable of dishing out damage than the others. This does not take [[Ship-Launched Fighters]] into consideration, a capability that the Federal Gunship and Krait Mk II possess while the Fer-de-Lance does not. The Fer-de-Lance is also less agile than the [[Alliance Chieftain]] and [[Federal Assault Ship]], but still has the advantage in firepower over them. | ||
In combat, the Fer-de-Lance excels against all opponents, from larger ships to [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s. It is widely considered one of the best ships for taking on skilled human pilots, more so than the [[Anaconda]] and [[Federal Corvette]]. The [[Imperial Cutter]] only poses a challenge to the Fer-de-Lance due to the Cutter's superior firepower and shielding, but the Fer-de-Lance still has the advantage in speed and agility. | In combat, the Fer-de-Lance excels against all opponents, from larger ships to [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s.
