Fer De Lance discussion thread

The Fer De Lance is know to be the upcoming ship as of 1.2. Opinions and debates welcome about the ship's features, specifications, ect. In my opinion, I believe it should be used as either an Exploration or Multipurpose large-sized ship due to the fact there are only two official exploration ships in ED, which are the Adder and the Asp. Should it be multipurpose or explorer? How much should it's maneuverability be? These are examples of questions that need to be discussed by the community so this ship doesn't turn out to be something that the majority CMDR's will dislike.

It is known that in the original Elite from 1984, it was faster than the Cobra. As a large-sized ship, should it be faster than the Cobra in ED? What do you think are the pros and cons about the ship? I personally believe it may not be a good idea for this ship to be faster than the Cobra, since it is said to be a large-sized ship, although I could be wrong. Again, let's hear from the community so this ship doesn't fall in the wrong hands.

I want one. I mean I've wanted one like this for 25 years. No cargo, nasty weapons, speed, manouverability and a Hot tub...Grind that! :D

And an engine that sounds like it's about to die - Zorgan/Peterson :eek:

If I remember the 84er's correctly, The FDL is heavy on combat and meh on trading. The Vulture may be a better combatant, but the FDL may be able to jump pretty far as a ZP ship can.

In one of the recent books (I forget which one) one of the bad guys flew a FDL and it was totally badass! I just hope in game this proves to be the case.
 
I hope it is luxurious on the inside. I'm not gonna become a disgusting imperial to get a Clipper, so I need my luxury fix :D
