  • I Am a Lancaster.

    Hello all, I am Imzakhor, and this is my first post. I think.

    I have enjoyed all ships at one point or another, except the shark - ew - but have settled on the lancaster. The multshot, different fire traits, and strategies to defeat different ships are very fascinating to me. Coupled with the xradar, which i love, and it's just simply the ship for me. I have been playing as a Lanc for years.

    Is there any kind of basing, etc., on a trackable level, that includes lancasters? or elim arenas, things like that? It's my favorite ship, but it just seems like Lancasters get overlooked for some ofthe more intriguing play of TW.

    Anyway, I would really like to do some offical basing/squadding/elim/etc. at the helm of my lancaster.

    Well, that's all for now. I have played this game for years now, off and on, and i really get a kick out of it. I find it fascinating that these forums generate such heated debate over a 2D space game, haha, we are all nerds.

    Thanks for reading!

    Lamecaster can be used in basing and elim.

    No need to be polite here. Lol.

      Indeed a first post! Wow! Come on the forums more often and laugh at people argue! Is very entertaining lol =)


      Unfortunately the lancaster is not a big part of TW other than in pubs, i mean lans are used in base but that rarely happens... Hmmm...
      Hopefully you can try a different ship you like? The more variety the better!

      Javelins are fun with their rockets in pub ahaha, just watch the tks =P

                For squads, can a Lancaster be on a basing team? Is the functionality there, or is it banned (like Levis are from pure pub)?

                I think I would like to try my hand at something organized, but only if I can use a Lancaster.

                Edit: apparently, I can use it, based upon previous posts. Now I just gotta find a team.

                  Lancasters can be used in ?go Base and in TWBD games but they are not normally used. Warbirds and more so Javs are used as specials in base games because a Warbird can hunt a terrier easily and a Jav can do a lot of damage in a cramming situation. If you're looking to get into the basing stuff try ?go Base for a bit, get captain and try out the Lancaster in organized basing.

                    You could make your own squad, or at least be in a leadership role on the squad to influence your team to use lancasters in TWBD matches in TWD, then you're guaranteed to have the control of which ships you play in the match. However, your success relies on your squad chemistry and practice with the ships in the competitive basing environment.

                    Basically, you have to overpower a spider a majority of times you meet them in the flagroom to have using the ship in the first place, a justifiable decision. Because in the end, spiders are more versatile.

                      Most squads feel compelled to play only spiders in base matches, because they aren't up the the challenge of adapting new gameplay and tactics.

                      There are squads, like us, Disoblige, fucking faggots, that doesn't mind experimenting with ships and lines. Try seeking out squads that wants the same as you, or create your own.

                      Oh, and the most important tip:

                      When going into ?go base, and you get captain for the first time, don't panic. Ask the staff member who started it for help on picking a decent line. New players doesn't know who to pick, that's ok, get help with it. Fucking newbies doesn't know who to pick and refuses to take advice, that's not ok.

                        A fellow Lancaster fan, YAY! I would love to see a team of 1 terrier, 2 sharks and the rest lancasters in a basing game. Perhaps we could get together in ?go base sometime and give it a run.

                          Lancaster is a very good ship choice, pm me in game if you want a lanc duel help train yous a little.

                          i honestly don't get why newbs use javs over lancs, the lancs just rip through the enemy like a knife through hot butter O.O.

                            BTW, I'm *hardly* a newb. I've been playing for at least 4 years, probably 5.

                            I will try to do some basing as a lancaster.

                              Spiders are more versatile? They burn energy so fast, no xradar, weak bullets... They fire twice, one lanc hit and BOOM! Rack him up.
