Proposing Kusari mining vessel Noboru

Thanks to Jinx and his beautiful skill of understanding what I want in mere two private messages and being able to create it in matter of days.


Kishiro Technologies is proud to present their answer to the Kusari war effort cry for materials. As our demand for materials have brought us to Leeds and even Dublin, the Hegemon mining ship with it's bulky design, low crew accommodations and it's Gajin origin was simply not able to display the force of Kusari in and behind the enemy lines.

Working on this ship in extreme secrecy, the Kishiro has zealously kept it's presence undercover in fear of corporate espionage, or worse - actual theft of prototype.

The ship differs from Hegemon in few things, first is the actual design of the ship, what reflects on every other thing. Kishiro intended this ship for Kusari and Kusari use only. Having this ship to fall in hands of the enemies is simply something that cannot be done.
With much more slim design the Noboru is longer than Hegemon but not prone to as much impacts as Hegemon receives in the mining field, allowing this ship a quicker getaway when all the hell breaks loose.
Slim design forces some drawbacks, such as smaller cargo space and somewhat harder turning force but the extended crew quarters allow this ship to remain in the system as long as it takes - even after the mission is done.

Ship is equipped with the state of the art Kishiro mining and filtration system starting from the dragon head shaped tractor system that then pushes the ore trough the ships' filtration system only to store it in the containers in the back protected by the solar wings, typical for Kusari design. Releasing the filth part of the ore it takes in the ship contributes to system pollution. Finally thanks to the Kishiro technologies, all the sounds hegemon produced are ancient history.

These are some stats I have out, however, I would really like people's input here as I am not so experienced with balancing the ships.
Basically I would like this ship to have some guns along with the turret spots, since it is heading out to enemy lines. Perhaps it should lose a CD, but I really hope it will sail trough the ore fields smoother than Hegemon will.

It is intended for Kusari usage only, so it is not a generic ship, far from it. It would be unthinkable for Kusari to actually allow anyone to use something like that and eventually turn it against them. I am sorry folks, but I do not think that Kishiro would issue a ship for a civilian use anyway. This is solely to fuel the war effort, and with the way this ship is built, it is doing exactly that.
