1v1 in open space and with equal skill, lancs are inferior to spiders.

The only way a lanc can kill a spider is if the spider misses 23052034 shots, then the lanc shoots him. This is unlikely since the standard spider strategy is to vulch a weak enemy, not waste bullets on a ship with full energy. However, a team of lancs vs a team of spiders might fare better, especially if the spiders clump up and get rained on from afar with walls of L2 bullets. (The spids would probably also need to be cornered, since slow L2 bullets are easier to dodge in open space.)

The old lanc, with L2 bullets that were mostly lethal, was a much more dangerous ship.

lanc is maybe a fun ship for newbies or people who never learnt how to aim.. but beyond pub (dueling/basing leagues), it's simply useless.. it's too slow and it's only good move is thrust-firing, and with the altered settings a few years back or so, that doesn't even guarantee a terr-kill anymore these days.. so yeah.. if you really want to play a ship 'seriously' stay clear of the lancaster in tw..

Yeah, what bram said.

There is some major balance issues involved in the bigger picture to determine the power of the Lanc. By power I mean everything from ship movement (speed, turn speed), and the strength and frequence of each shot. When there are so many ships involved, one cannot just simply get boosted, without overhauling the other settings. By now, the balance of the other ships, exluding levi and weasel, is very fragile, and any tiny change to any ship may end up hurting the basing scene more than it will boost it by adding another viable ship. We've tried a good mix of settings, but it seems like there just isn't room for a Lanc at any settings in the pro basing scene.

Learn how to play any of the other ships, and from there you'll open the world of basing dramatically, rather than just wanting to play one ship. Most players would rather want to play javeling or warbird if they were given a choise, so everyone can't just play the ships they want. There is some mixes that works, and others that doesn't, and you need to be extremely proficient with basing to be able to experiement with different ship setups in a 8v8 basing game.

Take the advices you can get from those who have more experience, and you'll see that you will get integrated far better into the community, and you'll be able to enjoy it more in the long run.
