DSCore: Katana

Bearing only a vague resemblance to the original craft from which it was developed, the Katana is the product of years of research and engineering put into practice. While the current model favors maneuverability and deftness of control over sluggish fortitude, the B50P has been refined and refitted time and time again to match the styles, thoughts, and will of its pilot. This craft provides a stunning and unearthly show of martial prowess upon the battlefield.

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) Having been a fan of the Wasupu, I was convinced to fly one of these by a friend and I can tell you they are hands down excellent! Much quicker turning and smaller size were key for me. The tiny size complimented by the above average agility make this an extremely capable ship in the hands of a skilled pilot, if not the tied for the best VHF in Sirius (along with the Eagle). I highly recommend this ship to anyone who enjoys PvP. One small drawback is the ability to only mount 2 Class 10 Guns and 4 Class 9, rather than the 4 Class 10 allowed by some other VHFs. This can be overcome by carefully picking both shots and weapons though. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Bill Russ

Review without version number
Review I thought my good ol' RT was a damn fine ship - 'till I first saw one of these Kats. Let me tell ya - don't mess with whoever's flying one of this babies, 'cause a trained pilot can turn them into freakin' agile space WMDs.

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) First thing I thought when I was at the ship dealer of Kyoto was that this ship looks like the the KNF Chimaera(The Katana is able to use lvl 10 guns, no turrets, each weapon can fire to front...)untill I did my first misson. The power core of that ship is smaller than the KNF Chimaera's so that you should not use any lvl 10 gun. At my first PVP I found out that the Katana is not as good as than its KNF counterpart, it is like the Hogosha Black Dragon more an auxiliary Fighter. The best arms for that ship are 1 or 2 Imp. Debilitator Mk II and the remaining weapons slots should be filled up with Daitos. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Misterich
