Sky Lance

Description
Sky Lance is a small fighter built to take on large ships. Its most formidable weapon is its battering ram. A long needle of heavy steel, the battering ram penetrates light armor, thrusters and other soft components, glass, and even rock. Speed straight towards the foe at most 50 m/s to inflict grievous punctures. Even one well-placed blow can sometimes spell the end for larger ships; Sky Lance has been known to utterly fragment the AI "Indictor" in a single strike. Sky Lance's next most useful weapons are its front facing rockets: Use these to disable the enemy's turrets, then use the battering ram to inflict fatal damage. Sky Lance also has auto-fire top-facing rockets, and an auto-fire gatling gun.

Sky Lance is a resilient ship. If one accidently flies too fast into their target, the side arms act as sacrificial shielding, protecting the ship's more valuable core. The placement of the thrusters and other components results in a fighter that takes a great deal of effort to completely disable. The weak-point is the cockpit. Be sure to keep it sheltered whilst in combat.

Sky Lance takes some degree of skill to use effectively, but once you've mastered it, you'll be in a fine position to conquer the galaxy without having to sacrifice copious amounts of materials on larger ships.


Fine Print: Battering ram is nearly useless against heavy armor. Very large large-ships often have components that are too deep for the ram to reach; stick to battling smaller large-ships. In combat, you'll need to retreat and rebuild the ram every so often.
