Medium Lancers are a medium weapon and the intermediate size of Lancer.
Overview[]
Medium Lancers are short ranged, fire four shots per burst and reload quickly, albeit slower than Light Lancers. It deals massive sustained damage, the most out of any medium weapon. Medium Lancer projectiles travel at high velocity, are unaffected by gravity and accurate, making them more likely to hit than other weapons which in turn makes them very reliable. Despite their limited maximum range, thanks to their incredible accuracy they actually tend to be more efficient at longer ranges than most cannons, especially with a proficient gunner. They also deal incredibly high damage to sails.

Trivia[]
- In the ship files for the Man-o-War, Starhammer, and Frigate, the ships were originally to have point-defence Medium Lancers on their bow, and in an image demonstrating the interface for the Frigate, one can see that Medium Lancers were available. This shows that the Royal Navy were originally meant to have Light and Medium Lancers, but not Heavy. This may be why Heavy Lancers look far different than the other versions, being blue rather than purple implying that it is different technology as the Empire lacks the technology to manufacture Heavy Lancers. Eventually, they decided that they Royal Navy could not create Medium or Heavy Lancers for unknown reasons.
- However, there are two exceptions. One is the Arcturian Merchantship, which is equipped with two medium PD lancers. Though this could possibly be attributed to the wealth of the ship owners. The other exception is the Imperial base, Outpost Regina, which is equipped with Medium Point Defence Lancers.
