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. The Fer-de-Lance is outstanding in its role as a combat vessel. This makes the Fer-de-Lance difficult to recommend for any role outside of combat. 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 a limited number of internal compartments for its size. It features a hull that is more resistant to damage from Class 1 and 2 weapons than other medium ships, and alongside its newer sister ship, the Mamba, it is one of only two medium ships capable of mounting Class 4 weaponry. The Fer-de-Lance is a heavy combat ship manufactured by Zorgon Peterson. If the vessel has a drawback it is that it is highly specialised - consumers are advised that the Fer-de-Lance Is unsuited to activities other than combat. With four medium and one huge hardpoint, the ship is a veritable powerhouse, able to mount a challenge even to the Anaconda and Federal Corvette. 2× Class 1 Compartments 1× Class 2 Compartment 2× Class 4 Compartments 1× Class 5 Compartment
