The Fer-de-Lance is also at the top of medium sized ships when it comes to defense. Its base shield is by far the highest of all medium sized ships, and it has 6 utility mounts compared to the average 4 on most medium sized ships, allowing it to install more [[Shield Booster|Shield Boosters]] for even more protection (since shield boosters increase shield by percentages, they are also more effective on the Fer-de-Lance than on ships with lesser shields). The result is that Fer-de-Lance builds can exceed 1000MJ of shield even without engineering, but with engineering it can reach over 2000MJ. Although the Fer-de-Lance's armor is not quite as durable as the Federal ships, the Alliance ships or the Python, it is by no means bad. | The Fer-de-Lance is also at the top of medium sized ships when it comes to defense.

The Fer-de-Lance's sole downside in combat is its low mass lock factor of 12, meaning it will not be able to mass lock any medium sized combat | The Fer-de-Lance's sole downside in combat is its low mass lock factor of 12, meaning it will not be able to mass lock any medium sized combat ships aside from itself and the [[Mamba]], or any large sized ships save for the [[Imperial Clipper]]. This means several medium sized ships as well as most large sized ships can easily flee from a Fer-de-Lance, making it worse at pirating than the Python; especially due to its tiny cargo bay. | ||
The Fer-de-Lance also functions brilliantly as an Anti-[[Thargoid]] ship, having huge damage output and it can easily deal with Scouts, and has no trouble equipping as much AX weaponry as possible. In the right hands, the Fer-de-Lance is one of the few ships capable of soloing a [[Thargoid Interceptor]]. In addition, it is widely agreed in the PvP community that the Fer-de-Lance is the single best PvP ship in the entire game, even more so than the much more expensive [[Anaconda]], [[Federal Corvette]] and [[Imperial Cutter]] , due to the Fer-de-Lance's superior manoeuvrability. | The Fer-de-Lance also functions brilliantly as an Anti-[[Thargoid]] ship, having huge damage output and it can easily deal with Scouts, and has no trouble equipping as much AX weaponry as possible.
