Rescaling the Kusari Destroyer

[tansytansey]

Lets just compare to the Thresher. Another smallish and agile destroyer.

Kusari Destroyer
Guns: 0/9
Bats/Bots: 600/600
Armor: 240,000
Power Plant: 1,400,000/95000

Thresher
Guns: 0/8
Bats/Bots: 650/650
Armor: 260,000
Power Plant: 1,400,000/95000

When comparing just pure numbers, sure they look just about the same. That doesn't seem fair does it? The Kusari destroyer is slightly more agile as well. So what's the difference? Lets look at turret arcs.

Kusari Destroyer
Forward: 9
Each Side: 2
Rear: 2

Thresher
Forward: 8
Each Side: 5
Rear: 8

See the difference? These two ships share just about the same front and rear profile, the Thresher is not much bigger, yet look at those turret arcs. I don't have a lot of details, but from what I understand the Kusari destroyer is going to be able to only use one heavy turret with the new cruiser designs. I'm also going to guess they put it on the top front mount which has a somewhat limited arc. If so, the Kusari destroyer is going to get much weaker. I would argue that it will make it too weak, but I'm not on the dev team and I don't know for sure how the new gun is going to be set up.

For anyone that didn't catch it, I voted no. Leave the Kusari destroyer alone.

You're missing one thing from your argument.

Coincidently, it also makes

Thresher is not much bigger

Completely incorrect. A scaling of x2 would see the Thresher and Kusari Dessie of a smiliar size, meaning the KuD is again, roughly half the size of other Cruisers.

The Kusari Dessie's stats can also be adjusted with the upscaling. Nothing is set in stone here, remember. I'm sure Mjolnir would love an excuse to buff it up. I personally don't care what it's stats are, or what they become, all I care about is it's rediculous size.
