Fer-de-Lance: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

The pilot's station is offset from the centre-line to the starboard. The Auxiliary station is offset from the centre-line to the port and slightly farther back from the front. The canopy glass offers a phenomenal field of view: more than 90 degrees vertically, and more than 180 degrees horizontally.

The Fer-de-Lance is a Heavy Combat fighter ~~to the core~~. It is unbeaten in raw damage for a medium ship and ~~neither its defences nor~~ mobility ~~are lacking and~~ is the only medium ship with a Huge Hardpoint mount. Even the big three; [[Anaconda]], [[Imperial Cutter]] and [[Federal Corvette]] ~~all must~~ operate with caution against the Fer-de-Lance, as the Fer-De-Lance's agility and speed allow it to easily stay out of their firing arc. Its mobility is what lets it easily take out large ships and dodge their weapons while dishing out pain. The shields and armour on the ship are very good, although slightly lower than those on the [[Python]]. Finally, the large [[Power Plant]] on the ship lets it have all hardpoints and [[Shield Generator]] powered without needing engineering ~~making attaching full~~ power modules ~~very easy and~~ can easily power a Prismatic Shield as well as ~~full power~~ Shield boosters without many issues, letting it easily surpass other ships in shield power. Its sole downside in combat is its mass lock factor. At only 12 several medium ships as well as most big ships can easily flee from a Fer-de-Lance, making it worse at pirating than the Python; especially due to its tiny cargo bay. Another role the Fer-de-Lance functions brilliantly in is as an Anti-[[Thargoid]] ship. It has huge damage output and can easily deal with Scouts and has no trouble equipping as much Ax weaponry as possible. The Fer-de-Lance is one of the few ships capable of soloing a [[Thargoid Interceptor]]; in the right hands.

The Fer-de-Lance is a Heavy Combat fighter. It is unbeaten in raw damage for a medium ship, but has high defence and mobility. It is the only medium ship with a Huge Hardpoint mount. Even the big three; [[Anaconda]], [[Imperial Cutter]] and [[Federal Corvette]] should operate with caution against the Fer-de-Lance, as the Fer-De-Lance's agility and speed allow it to easily stay out of their firing arc.

The shields and armour on the ship are very good, although slightly lower than those on the [[Python]]. Finally, the large [[Power Plant]] on the ship lets it have all hardpoints and [[Shield Generator]] powered without needing engineering. This lets you equip many high power modules. So it can easily power a Prismatic Shield as well as Shield boosters without many issues, letting it easily surpass other ships in shield power. Its sole downside in combat is its mass lock factor. At only 12 several medium ships as well as most big ships can easily flee from a Fer-de-Lance, making it worse at pirating than the Python; especially due to its tiny cargo bay.

It has huge damage output and can easily deal with Scouts and has no trouble equipping as much Ax weaponry as possible. The Fer-de-Lance is one of the few ships capable of soloing a [[Thargoid Interceptor]]; in the right hands.

The big issue the ship has is its specification as a fighter and it is virtually unusable in any other role. The jump range sits at 21LY or so without engineering; the 4th worst in the game making it one of the least useful exploration vessel and it can't chase targets across the galaxy well or hunt down bounties and will have serious trouble jumping away to the nearest [[Interstellar Factors|Interstellar Factor]] to clear its own bounties. It has a cargo capacity of 70t max; extremely poor for its price and size and makes Pirating very unviable, as well as trading and mining.
