So the point is, if you want to win a fight get the strongest turrets that are available to you, (I would recommend [[Zoner]] turrets if you can get them, but mixed with 1-3 basics, so you won't run out of energy before the real fight even starts) get up close to the target and hit it, hit it hard.|4.85}}

The "Ahoudori" Kusari Explorer is the toughest ship you can get as a freelancer.  It's got 7 gunboat turrets, all of which can fire forwards and to the sides, and 6 of which fire backwards.  The arcs are great, you'll always have good firepower towards your enemies.  It can have its loadout changed for whatever purpose you see most fitting, but to take advantage of its large power core I advise against using basics.

However, this all does come at a drawback.  Compared to other gunboats, it doesn't really stand a chance.  It's a huge target, and turns as slow as a transport; it's even slower than the Bretonian Gunboat.  This massive size and slow maneuvering couples with a paper hull, making you very vulnerable to any skilled gunboat pilot or bomber.  Still, as a civilian ship, it's the toughest thing a freelancer can get, and you'll certainly stand a better chance fighting alone against anything you would have fought in other ships available to freelancers.

The first ships of the Kusari Explorer line were built in 490 A.S., a period when space exploration was considered very important for the House of Kusari, the Explorers were equipped to spend long months and even years charting distant star systems for possible resources to be exploited by the state.

The initial design was adopted by Samura, and through it, the Gas Miners Guild who found great use of the vessel in their continuing mission of charting the expanses of the Crow nebula to seek out new pockets of resources to feed Sirius' ever growing energy needs. The Explorers of modern times have been retrofitted with superior military grade hardware and shielding to ensure that the Guild's finds would not fall into the hands of claim jumpers. Additional modern Kishiro amenities and superior sensor packages have produced a vessel that is as comfortable as it is hardy; as such the Explorer has found a valuable after-market for Freelancers and wealthy Kusarians alike seeking to find the next hidden jump hole, or luxuriate in its firepower, with a measure of comfort and security.
