This fearsome cruiser is noted for its enormous forward firing cannon. Crafted from technologies provided by the Order during their tenure of cooperation, the Kagutsuchi was crafted to provide the raw stopping power needed to combat the feared tides of Wild infested Kusarian fleets. Built upon the designs of an ancient naval cruiser, the vessel contains the graceful lines and imposing agility that defined the fleets of the age.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) Considering its very light hull and armament, you would expect this to be a very small and fast cruiser, right up there with the hatchet. Unfortunately, it's actually a very long cruiser, and its turn rate, while being fast, is only slightly above average for a cruiser. However, if you are able to take advantage of its shape by keeping its front or back aimed towards the enemy and strafing, it can be an effective ship. It has a forward gun and one heavy turret aiming forwards, with both heavy turrets aiming backwards, giving it alright firepower. However, its regular cruiser turret slots are so poorly located that even with a full solaris loadout you will find it very difficult to defend yourself against bombers. This ship is best suited for taking on larger ships from a range. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by TLI-Inferno
