The Kusari Battleship

[gezza999]

God, I've tried flying the Kusari Battleship once.. it was expensive, but I like the look of Kusari ships... The fins made it impossible to get into tradelanes, rock fields just spun the entire thing 180 degrees, or even worse, just made it completely stuck on a rock. I'm NEVER buying one again, if one of the fins are blown off, the entire thing dies, though the shields DO cover them. I don't care if its made the best uber-BS in the entire game, those fins drove me crazy.. I don't think I'd have the patience to actually take it to any battles..

I'm not quite sure how to test this with any finality. If Nightfall is right and it is the same problem with every vanilla ship, meaning damage gets multiplied by the number of sections within the blast radius, then its a problem that gets amplified by the Kus BS's unique shape. The two bottom rear fins are connected through the aft half of the main hull so you can hit the connection spot and damage both sections at the same time (right?)

Most probably, and that's the disadvantage of every Vanilla ship (fighters to capships), you just need to figure out the spot on such a big target as a capship. The explosion will do the rest - sections get damaged.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

yea im shure the shilds actualy got to be down lol. for it to work, as i said it's all about blast raidus so as long as that is no uber wepons with like 100m to 500m raidus it should be ok. of corce if u mange to hit the fins olny on the kussri bs it will go boom.

i know when i was on the evo server we figured out a way to fix it something with the coad in the ship arc i think.
