KUSARI

Tip : Pay  attention  to  wrecks !
Tip : Start trading goods, even to Bretonia, Border or Independent Worlds.

 After trade adventures is time to analyze strong and weak points that ships
matching your level have. They are 3 : Wolfhound , Dragon and Barracuda. All
share the same shield 3600, level of weapons 4/6 and lose a gun point to a
Catapult  Missile :
 WOLFHOUND: 5/1 (4 cannons, 1 turret, missile, 1 Starkiller, mine). Require
a trip back to Magellan and, using a jump hole, Cortez or head to Molly’s
Base Arranmore from Dublin System (to avoid Bounty Hunters attention).
Wolfhound is a difficult ship to master, slower in reaction than Barracuda
and Dragon.
 DRAGON: 6/0 (5 cannons,missile, 1 Starkiller, mine). Kind of slow .
 BARRACUDA : 6/0 (5 cannons, 1 missile, 1 Starkiller, mine). Excellent
choice!

 The best weapons combination is 4 Angelito MkII AND 2 Pyros 2.Go fight
weapons platform, gunboats/heavy fighters on first Kusari mission. Next you
land on Kyoto Base, Blood Dragons faction. Here is the last time out before
all 13 compulsory mission end. From now one you have 2 option:
  a) Take as many mission from Kyoto bar against Kusari Military/Police you
can and don’t hesitate to refuse compulsory mission proposal if money are a
problem. From this point one missiles, torpedoes, mines, batteries, nanobots
are going to be used fast in order to keep you alive. When cash are enough,
around 100,000 credits to play safe, but not less than 50,000, is time to
charge. Use afterburners like crazy, make sudden stops and accelerations,
keep missiles and torpedoes for the primary big target, use carefully mines
against the first wave of Kusari heavy fighters. After you acomplished the
task,victory is near and is enough to fight as taff you could in order to
escape the remains of Kusari fleet.

  b) If you want more exciment, use the jump holes to go in Honshu, Sigma 19,
Omicron Beta and Sigma 13 system (avoid trade lane/gate system, have
the tendency to shoot at you) and reach level 16  by taking  mission from GMG
Naha base or loot wrecks. After buying Sunblasts A from GMG, go to Ruiz Base
(Omicron Beta) or Cali Base (Tau 23) for Pyros 3****, head back to Kyoto and
finish Ozu mission. It is a good idea also to replace your turret with an Ad.
Debilitator, if you take Wolfhound for a ride .

**** I prefere Angelito MkII in combination with Pyros 2/3, but you`ll choose
what suit best your stile.
