Space Trucking Medic Mech | Lancaster LANCER

HI hello, old Lancaster has come from the farthest star ports to make sure your pilot doesn't turn to meat in a metal coffin. Also it's among the fastest mechs in the game. While there's a tone of engineer character coding, the Lancaster is the medic of the core Lancer licenses. When dealing with metal over meat an engineer makes more sense than a medic. Though outside of it's role increasing your health, it's the rugged trucker plying the near light star ways. From the highways between stars the Lancaster walks the internal highways of massive cruisers, making sure the hulking vessel keeps working. The backbone of any fleet or front sponsored by IPS-N.

Also some corrections to the washes in the video, pointed out by a commenter. Greywash is fabricated and commanded in a central nexus (The actual skeleton frame of the Balor for an example). Blackwash is the self replicating one. Whitewash are simple one use batch nanites, no reprogramming or commands. Thanks to the commenter for pointing this out. In addition here are all of the music tracks in order of appearance. All of these tracks can be found in the youtube audio library.

The Lancaster is the embodiment of “it ain’t much, but it’s honest work.”

[infernodelta]

Lancaster feels the truest of the ‘trucker’ mechs.

Just the Lancaster looks, to me, like what a trucking company would make if they needed to make a mech. Durable, reliable, and above all else, simple to build and repair.

[ratikus]

Blue collars, Rejoice! The Mech made for the working man. It definitely has a cooler in the back filled with beer.

[NayrAnur]

"Look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems."

[dathore]

You know the Lancaster comes with all the best space trucker radio stations by default, a complementary shotgun and a "am still truckin" complementary coffee mug.

[ronanhartman]

That summary had a real, 'don't insult the white mage' vibe

[jebbus]

Now I have this image in my head of a lancaster just GALLOPING like a horse

[joshmorton]

Lancaster is just "what if mech, but horse" and that galloping speed proves it.

[TheRealG]

Ah, the Lancaster, an integral part of one of my favorite strategies that allows you to move the whole party at comical speeds by grappling it with a ramjet-equipped Blackbeard

[rjhogan]

Mil-spec space tow truck and repair vehicle. The ultimate handyman trucker mech. The BLUEST of blue collar mechs

[Spark_Chaser]

I'm often the healer or the mechanic in games. The second I saw the old Lannie, I knew I'd found my mech. She ain't pretty, but she's got it where it matters, and she'll get you through the hard days.

[laggyexplosions]

I'm playing a Lancaster in a Winter Storm campaign, and the change in mood when it got split in half by a cannon shot was palpable. Just trying to survive as we wore down its health.

Was honestly pretty scary, but we managed to survive. Barely. And i got to take down a mech as a pilot!

[thomastrinkle]

I love that you used Hardspace Shipbreaker to define the look of IPS-N. I just beat that game a few days ago and I wholeheartedly agree with you.

[navvesegal]

Fun fact: if you have 3 LL in an IPS-N (including your Lancaster) mech you can take a Core Power that increases you mech size by 1 letting 2 more goblins latch on to your mech for a maximum of 6

[forte]

I got interested in the Lancaster when I realized it was size 2. You can make it into the mech equivalent of Leatherface, grabbing foes, clubbing them to death and handing out the parts to his allies.

Correction about the Washes:

Graywash is nanites constructed from a central nexus that basically acts as a mini-factory. The nanites can’t self replicate, but they can adapt to the commands sent by the nexus.

Blackwash self replicates, consuming material to make more of itself in order to accomplish a task.

Whitewash meanwhile is produced by a big factory, is single use, and with little exception cannot be reprogrammed to fulfill a different task. The hardware just won’t be able to permit it.

[franciscoadasilvajr]

I just love mechs like Lancaster, in all those bipedal humanoid robots, having something like him is always a big plus for me
And being the only "healer" mech? Coded as a blue collar truck mech??
How NOT to love this boi?

[michaelrizzo]

4 Goblins on a Lanny the ultimate hacking team you just can't put down.

[jaypax]

Run 12 spaces, chuck 2 grenades at the enemy. Next round. Chuck 2 more grenades, run back 12 spaces. Do repairs. Congrats you just role-played "Lancaster: Bomber Command".
