' Wrote:The Kusari Destroyer is an interesting one. First of all, it looks really neat, but that's another story. I've been in fights against a couple and they certainly seem much more fragile than Rheinland Cruisers. Not sure about Bretonian Destroyers, as I've truthfully never seen anyone using one.
What about that zoner IFF'd one that attacked derkylos, you and me for pirating his advanced train?
I did, 'coz I was silly and got too close, had to use like 3 nanos...but we were 3 bombers...but, yeah, some cruisers are ridiculously easy to SN (the Rheinland flying target) springs to mind, whilst others are extremely difficult (the front end of a Liberty Cruiser is apparently hard to hit-ask the Falcata that decided to joust mine...)
' Wrote:Unless the handling was altered, I guess it'd still be as easy to dodge the slow weapons in one. I'd love to test fight...shame I deleted it with the arrival of the new mod, tho >.>
To re-iterate in bigger letters:
If you want to try drop me a PM, you'll get a kusari dessie and a free choice of in-RP weaponry on the test server. I will fly Bretonian Destroyer. You might be surprised how it ends.

To anyone who says how Kusari dessie is so uber. If you want to try drop me a PM, you'll get one and a free choice of inRP weaponry on the test server. I will fly Bretonian Destroyer. You might be surprised how it ends.
' Wrote:So you have flown one in 4.84.. never fought against anyone, yet you know how good/bad it is?
Maybe instead of rumors you could accept the offer and try a test fight?
As to Kusari dessie being "ridiculous vs bomber/fighters", yes it ridicoulously weak vs non-noobish ones. Ask Blodo if you want fighting advice.
@ changes from vanilla, well Kusari destroyer has two extra turrets which are not activated on flyable ships.
@ Bret GB, it kills any GB 1vs1 without trouble now and it's great for pirating. I don't see why a ship that costs 1/5 the price of a cruiser should be better and more armored that one. For the record it's even bigger than Corvo, Zoner Dessie or for example OC dessie from some aspects.

that fight wouldn't be a good comparison as you are an expert capship pilot and have an intimate knowledge of both ships weaknesses and strengths.
' Wrote:plus it's not like the kusari cruiser's effectiveness against other cruisers was the main point of this thread.
Correct. Point of the thread was, that Kusari dessi is not as a comfortable target as other cruiser.
However, as long as nobody takes the invitation given by Mjolnir, you ca safe the complaints.
I use a ku dessie sometimes. I haven`t used it much so I can`t really give a good opinion. but it CAN be snacced quite badly, and it does hurt the ligth dessie a lot.
on a sidenote: my ku dessie has a light mortar and the rest standard dessie turrets. there doesn`t seem to be pulse cannons or BR available anywhere in Kusari. is this intentional? is a ku dessie not supposed to use those in rp?
also, I`d like to test it on the test server. see how she holds up.
