Lancer - G9968 Mk10(OUTDATED)

So after several weeks of tweaking, debating, and decision making I finally decided to post my personal and finished version of the Lancer. I went through multiple weapon systems trying to find a good balance. Many different turrets, several different cannons(from ABA's 1500mm cannons, to CustomPulseCannon, to Cardassian disruptors from the Star Trek Disruptor pack). In fact I almost kept the Cardassian disruptors but I decided that if I was going to put this ship on the workshop I didn't want her to be over powered. I wanted it to be a fair and fun ship for people to cruise around in on their own worlds.

When I originally designed this ship, I wanted it to be a multi-purpose vessel. She comes equipped with her own refinery and assembler so no matter where you go you have the capability of processing your own ores and turning them into components to replace damaged ones. Furthermore you can process your own fuel on the go when times are tough in the space economy, because we all know that it's not easy making a living in space.

However, even with the original idea of a multi-purpose vessel in mind I had to ask myself what this ship would truly be good at doing. So I decided to draft her to be a blockade runner or forward assault ship. Generally you would have two or three of these ships in a group, with a small group of escort fighters, charge ahead of a fleet to tear apart a blockade and just create all around havoc for the enemy forces. The Lancer is rather fast despite her weight and her maneuverability is just as impressive. Granted she's not going to win any races against a lightly armored opponent but then again she's not a racer.

So aside from the original concepts for the Lancer I also found that she's fairly easy to repurpose. I've gutted her multiple times, stripped her of her heavy armor and put light armor on her, turned her into a carrier for a couple small fighters, turned her into a gravity cannon, and various other things. She kind of became a jack of all trades for me in the combat sense and functionality. Ultimately I turned her into my personal ship as a privateer or bounty hunter. Being able to take on contracts to hunt down vessels and swiftly close in on them.

I've taken great care of the Lancer and I hope whoever decides to subscribe to her will find her to be just as enjoyable.
