Fer-de-Lance
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. The Fer-de-Lance's hull is a bit more resistant to smaller weapons compared to any other ship.[1]
