The Empire designed these vessels in an attempt to stop our
fearless and elite fighterpilots. Following the Battle of Yavin,
Imperial Command had a phobia concerning the skills of Allied
pilots, which they never could hope to match. Imperial admirals
argued that the Death Star destruction was due to the lack of
anti-starfighter screening vessels. Naval Command authorized the construction of the KDY Lancer Class Frigate.

Gun for gun, Lancers is an excellent anti-starfighter ship. The main and only armament of this ship consists of 20 quad laser cannons. Each cannon is equipped with a targeting mechanism adapted from the one used in SFS TIE Bomber craft. This produces multi-fire cover with superb fire control. In addition, each gun is mounted on its own tower to provide an increased fire arc.

There are some deliberate delays in the ship construction due to unclarity of what the new rules will be and when they takes/took effect. At the moment of writing, I cant find the SWForums.net shipyards either. :/

In the meantime:

The above order was completed the 15 october

Continued construction of Lancer Frigates from 16 october. Above order is duplicated in 6 day intervals until futher notice.

This is a temporary order, that is until I can find clarification of the excact date the new contruction rules takes/took effect. Fleet contruction will be adjusted/modified according to the new rules when I know more about this.

GJO shipyard and NRSF ship construction has also been halted to a full stop, and nothing will be constructed in those for a while. It appears those will be tossed in the bin for realism purposes and the 5 NR shipyards will be the only facilities building for the "good" guys.

More about this later..
