Overview

The Fer-de-Lance NG, later also known as NG-1, is an improved Fer-de-Lance and was produced under license by a now forgotten shipyard on Xeatxe, sector 2. The design was optimized for only one goal, incredible speed. With only basic shields and 2 laser mounts the best option for the pilot in case of an attack was to run. While also used by traders the majority of the ships was flown by bounty hunters and criminals. After the bombardment of the shipyard during the civil war Biarge United Shipyards purchased the license and started with the layout of the Fer-de-Lance NG-2. In the meanwhile Zorgon Petterson Group proudly announced the 3G series of Fer-de-Lance ships, making the introduction of another NG to the open market kind of challenge.

See Fer-de-Lance 3G OXP for a table comparing these Fer-de-Lance variants (and some others).

Remarks

Several custom paint jobs are included, all available to the player. This OXP was developed for Oolite V 1.76, includes obsolete code and since the author is unknown and no license is available we are not able to improve it for later versions.

Overview

The Fer-de-Lance NG-2 series included various models, the Fer-de-Lance NG-2C Courier, the Fer-de-Lance NG-2Y Yacht and the Fer-de-Lance NG-2F Fighter. The NG-2F and later the NG-2N Navy abandoned the luxurious approach of Zorgon Petterson Group and offered a puristic style with a lot of firepower for a reasonable price. Ironically these ships got the most contracts and saved the entire series.

Credits

An unknown author for the basic concept, the NG-2F and NG-2N are inspired by the Renegade Fer-de-Lance and the Fer-de-Lance 3G, thanks a lot to LittleBear and UK Eliter.

Remarks

The Fer-de-Lance NG-2 is an on the current core-model based remake of the original ship. It includes a (nearly) exact copy of the original ship plus some more variants.
