Ingame description: "A heavy fighter

The HoundMK2 is a modified Hound by the newly formed Kind faction.

''One of the chain guns has been removed and replaced by a twin chain gun turret. While the placement of the turret doesn't permit a great firing arc, turreted weapons are far more superior in lining up shots to fixed guns. Other modifications include greater protection for the pilot at the cost of speed.''

While any Stub ship is a cause of concern, this ship is concerning due to its 'new' arrival, even if it is just a slight modification."

Usage and tactics
HoundMK2 is absolutely the same thing as Hound, but with more hp, less speed and a dual chaingun turret instead of a chaingun on the bottom. In players hands, it is a great solo fighter due to its nice DPS and higher hp pool than other Kind fighters. Increase in firepower allows the player to use Crew Killer Ammo more efficently. On flipside, for AI this ship became worse. It is slower, and has secondary weapons (AI cant use secondary weapons for now) which lowers firepower and makes them an easier target. If you had to choose between this and Hound as fighter filler, go for Hound until AI gets updated to use secondary weapons.
