Overview

The only TL which needs cargobay upgrades to reach maximum capacity, the Ryu is otherwise a solid choice for a station transporter or light carrier, with good speed, low-to-average cargo space, decent shields and a bigish hangar.

Background

As the Yaki seek to expand their sphere of influence, so must their infrastructure increase. The Ryu is a key part of enabling Yaki station-building and heavy transport activities.

Combat

The Ryu has a respectable choice of weaponry, but is not a combat vessel and this armament should be used defensively unless the pilot knows what he is doing.

Equipment

Missiles

Mosquito Missile Wasp Missile Dragonfly Missile Silkworm Missile Disruptor Missile Firefly Missile Thunderbolt Missile

Tempest Missile Hurricane Missile Cyclone Missile Tornado Missile Aurora Missile Remote Guided Warhead Beluga Missile

Hammerhead Missile Rapier Missile Firelance Missile Wildfire Missile Windstalker Missile Banshee Missile

Suggested Roles

Similar to the Split Elephant. Comparable speed and 80% the shielding, while having a fighter bay of 2 less but a cargo bay of 2000 more mean it could be and effective on-demand resupply/light support craft (though the markedly weaker laser generator limits the latter role when IS).
