[SIZE=9pt]Awesome offensive power, some of the best in class. Even the toughest defenses wither before its might.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Most of its emplacements are evenly spaced, giving it good coverage at all angles. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Defensive capabilities are greatly enhanced whilst its overshield is active. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]HiMS enabled hyperdrive.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]While the Tenchu Kai have decent speed for a ship its size, smaller faster ships will still have a fairly easy time outrunning or outmaneuvering it. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]As many emplacements are evenly placed, it can’t focus them all into one zone like a typical dagger design. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Whilst the overshield is active, the Tenchu take a significant hit to mobility.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]No dedicated starfighter complement.[/SIZE]
As the Ion Ripper batteries are spinal mounted, any off-bore shots over 15 degrees require the whole ship to be turned for aiming.
The spinal mounted guns are hard to use at close range against smaller and faster targets that can easily outmaneuver the Tenchu.
[SIZE=9pt]The Tenchu-Kai are upgraded versions of the original Tenchu dreadnought, refit to better contend against the Silver Jedi’s current adversaries in frontline combat. The battlecruisers were reconfigured to increase offensive capabilities and mobility, at the expense of their heavy reactive armor and hangar space dedicated for starfighters. This was deemed an acceptable tradeoff, as experience had shown that the extreme defensive capabilities of the Tenchu were rarely required, greater firepower being more useful in most instances. Some of the more advanced sensors of the original Tenchu, like a crystal grav trap, were also [/SIZE]sacrificed[SIZE=9pt] in order to cheapen future productions, making it more dependent on dedicated ELINT craft for early warning. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]However, taking lessons from the Akula heavy destroyer and its ability to strengthen its own armor for greater defense, designers applied a similar setup to the Tenchu for the times it may require such extreme defenses in a pinch. It was given an overshield which could siphon power from its engines to activate a powerful tertiary shield that could withstand extended punishment from multiple attackers, or single powerful strikes like those from proton beam cannons. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]As part of beefing up its destructive output, new emplacements weren't just simply added on top of preexisting platforms, but the whole setup was updated to optimize long range fire power and shield busting abilities with the inclusion of armaments like Incinerator Railguns and Scythe Homing Lasers. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The biggest change came to its primary armament, its single spinal-mounted hypervelocity cannon and proton beams cannons replaced by a quartet of smaller rapid fire repulsor-based ion ripper batteries. Mechanically speaking, it is identical in operation to the ion rippers featured on the RAF-02 Y-wing, using tight beams of [/SIZE]anti-gravity[SIZE=9pt] beams to accelerate projectiles towards its target. Inspired by the Vespa Autoripper and Trident Autocannons, steady accurate bursts of smaller rounds are focused at specific points to simulate the effects of tandem charges to overload shielding at the targeted area(s) for direct hits against the enemy vessel itself. To aid in shield penetration, each round is enveloped in a jacket of ion energy. Moving to the burst fire strategy, the Tenchu’s main guns now see better performance against well defended ships sporting multi-layered shielding and heavy armor, especially when used in tandem with its other extreme [/SIZE]emplacements[SIZE=9pt]. While spinal mounted, the Ion Ripper batteries can be shot off bore by up to 15 degrees, but for anything more extreme the whole vessel must be pointed in general direction of the intended target. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]With the refit, the Tenchu has once again taken is place as a premiere battlecruiser, capable of eviscerating all before its path. [/SIZE]
