Ronin

undefinedThe Ronin is a light frigate of the Kind faction. It is equipped with a large laser beam and 4 double chain gun turrets. It is slow and unwieldy. It can be equipped with a shield generator. It has no unique upgrades.

In-game description: "A Kind combat frigate.

The Ronin is a nearly entirely new ship of the Kind faction.

Though somewhat lacking in durability it boasts impressive tech with its main beam weapon.

''Unlike the clumsy modifications of stub ships, the Ronin represents a viable future for the Kind. The ability to create new ships means the ability to adapt to change, an absolute necessity to survival.''"

Usage and tactics
The Ronin's beam is able to deal a lot of damage in a short period of time. Tracking anything smaller than a Corvette is a difficult task. It's cheap for a Frigate, so it's fairly easy to acquire. If multiple target one ship, they can deal it massive amounts of damage.
