Overview

The Lanner is a fairly common ship seen in all parts of human space. Its squat delta-wing shape is instantly recognizable if somewhat ungainly. It is the favorite of up and coming traders and semi-well off pirates alike. The large space inside allows for the mounting of a powerful laser or plenty of cargo space. Unlike the smaller ships a pirate in a Lanner is a significant threat to the larger cargo ships if not dealt with quickly.

Not particularly fast and with a slow turning rate the Lanner has trouble against the small fighters so will often be escorted.

Notable Features

Disadvantages

Very slow rotation speed.

Verdict

Not typically a ship you want to keep in the long term. Isn't going to win any beauty contests either.
