Get in !!!
Fer de Lance coming with 1.2 release
- Thread starter Devil's Refugee
- Start date
My guess is this is higher tier than that. The specs on the Vulture sounds like that will be the asp-level combat vessel.
Yes, seeing a comment on another thread before the Vulture is comparable to the Python and described as a pure combat vessel, nothing more. So Vulture = Python pre-nerf
This is supposed to be the Mercedes Benz of starships, so wouldn't be surprised if it's pricier than an Asp.
As it should be, at least going back in the lore. The FDL was never meant to be a combat ship but a luxury one - that said lots of luxury cars have powerful engines and great performance, and in this universe you'd expect to be mugged if you were showing off that kind of bling, so I'm sure it can defend itself. Am VERY interested in what the stats will be and if this will be one of my "goal" ships.
it's the Loooooove Boat, soon you'll be making another run....
In the original it seemed that the FdeL was a long sleek dart of a ship, the fastest there was. I thought it would be longer, maybe half to 2/3rds of the size of anaconda. I still would rather have had the Asp in the original, as the FdeL just seemed to be about speed and not much else. Does rather look like a slightly stretched Adder.
That's right, back in the day it was for the well heeled bounty hunter. It had a crew of 10 so would be clipper/dropship sized if not changed to fit the new lore. It looks dissapointingly like an adder/hauler. More imagination needed by designers I think.
FDL another chance for them to ......Balance another ship....winks
Okay, you're evil again. The ENTIRE THEME just jumped into my head. .____.
Now I'm back to Devil mode

Kind of like the way James Bond drives fast cars with gadgets, yeah. Maybe its strength will come from what it can carry component wise, while being decent but not outstanding in combat? Seems like there is a hardpoint between the nose and cockpit (class 2 at a guess). which might mean it only has 3 total (2 underneath)?
As for the looks, naw, the Adder looks like a dopey shuttle (but still cute in its own way). This looks like a sports car, and not just because of the racing type paint job.
What I really want to know is, what will the interior be like when we can move around inside the ship?
