It was as agile as Corsair and Bretonian gunboats and way smaller than both of them. It also had a lot more armor and firepower, and better shield.

It might have been a good solution for a gunboat-cruiser but it isn't for a normal cruiser so it now needs more weapons and better power core.

That gunboat is kinda powerful and it absolutely doesn't need to be resized just because of a single broken cruiser. Same goes for the other gunboats. Are you saying they should all be rescaled just because of this one ship?
Just because the Kusari Destroyer is a Vanilla ship doesn't make it immune to any changes.
I completely agree with all saying "Nomads should be OP", because they have 2 000 000 years old space-based history, that is good argument for OP Nomads.

This must make it immune, but... ok, devs, if you want to kill this mod, keep ruining it. If someone want bigger Kusari dessie, some modeler can make "Kusari cruiser" But don't ruin vanila and this, now not excelent mod :| I told: No words for it!

Residing ship just because its smaller then silly imagination of developers is stupid too. Kusari destroyer is not op. I rightfully can call myself as one of the best cap users. However while flying on ku dessie I have been losing against rm cruiser, lsc or very dessie, piloted by Flash or JustX. Both of them are on same skill level as I am. So all this stuff about op ships is just imagination of those who don't know and don't want to learn how to fight.

Vanilla isn't some magic word that keeps ships from being changed.
I suspect though that if you decide to model a new cruiser-sized Kusari cruiser, the devs will consider putting it in and repurposing the dessie as a gunboat.

If you are comparing it to Cruiser vs GB fights, it's normal that Cruiser wins.

It was something between Gunboat and Cruiser. Hatchet vs Cruiser fights were balanced, single "Hatchet" almost couldn't take down battleship and with two "Hatchets" it took around 8 minutes. Now this GB/Cruiser with same power is just bigger. It's like putting 10 years old child with mature body against 30 years old man...
