Overview

A Zorgon Petterson Group (Zee Pee Gee) designed vessel favored by well- heeled bounty hunter and freewheeling business corporations. A sophisticated craft, capable of both limited trading, combat, and leisure function. The spacious hull is mainly given over to sophisticated weaponry, defences and navigation equipment at the expense of cargo capacity. Cabin accommodation is large and luxurious with extensive Owndirt Inc. recycling facilities, encouraging extended live-in periods (useful whilst pursuing a quarry). Fuel scoop is a standard fitting, ensuring complete self-sufficiency.

ArcElite

The Fer-de-Lance is a wealthy man's ship - a status symbol. Its poor manoeuverability and feather-lasers would appear to make it an irresistibly easy target. However, would-be attackers should note that the high DefRat afforded by the ParaVee helix shields give Fer-de-Lance pilots plenty of time to summon their well-paid 'friends' in GalCop.

Dry Dock

During coding of Classic Elite 'dry-dock' code was used to view some of the ships during development (referred to as *VIEW on Ian Bell's web site). A movie for the Fer-de-Lance generated using *VIEW run under the BBC emulator BeebEm3 is available here.
