Basic Capabilities
------------------
* Suck in & plow through troops with Turbo Boost.
* Shove enemy vehicles off the road with Turbo Boost.
* Charge into heavy fire, since the Turbo Boost reduces all incoming
damage by 80%.
* Leave "Back To The Future" style flaming tire tracks with Turbo
Boost. Flames will cling to troops and vehicles that cross!
* Blow out hovercraft blades, tank treads, and tires with Tire Grenades.
* Jump, spin, and Turbo Boost for extra maneuverability.
* The Lancer's passenger is free to fire as s/he pleases. Few
other vehicles let you deliver a Redeemer with such style.
Playing with the Lancer
-----------------------
Enough review -- let's talk about how to have a great time
with this vehicle!
* Road Rampage: Dive through groups of troops with zeal.
While boosting, the Lancer is almost impervious to damage.
Enemy troops will get sucked in by the turbine and
roadkilled, or at LEAST set on fire as you boost by.
* Boobytrap: Lay Tire Mines in an area traveled by enemy vehicles.
An unsuspecting tank, hovercraft, or wheeled craft will soon
become stranded away from the safety of a node, and force troops
out into the open. Leave their flaming carcasses as examples
to any other would-be challengers.
* Run 'em off the road: Enemy Mantas or Scorpions get tossed
around in the wake of the Turbo Boost shockwave -- use this
to push enemies off cliffs, into obstacles, etc. . Hellbenders
are a little more resilient, but can still be pushed around
with a careful approach.
* Impound: Visit an enemy power node, dropping off Tire Grenades
as you go. They'll find their vehicles in ruins, useless for
offense.
* Sucker!: If you have to abandon your Lancer, drop some Tire
Grenades nearby; if an enemy steals your bike, the grenades will
attack them immediately!
Fictional Intro
---------------
The Lancer made its introduction as a police motorcycle, allowing
law enforcement to quickly disable criminal vehicles with its
intelligent Tire Mine system. Superconducting magnets engage
when the Turbo Boost is activated, giving this tiny bike enough
hitting power to push most civilian vehicles off the road.
Passengers can provide cover fire from the back of the
bike with ease. Needless to say, the Lancer performed
exceptionally well in urban environments.
It was quickly brought into military use for its speed, but
engineers soon modified it for more of a combat role. The
solid-rocket boosters were replaced with turbines, which could
suck in nearby enemies. The partially-combusted exhaust from
the new engines was redirected to the ground, which left perilous
trails of fire in the Lancer's wake.
Experienced Lancer pilots constantly scold rookies for turning
too sharply, especially on rocky terrain -- their lack of
respect for the horsepower of the engine usually translates
into ejection from the vehicle. On a flat straightaway, though,
few things inspire more awe than a squadron of Lancers
boosting head-on into an enemy charge.
