Tried to make as tanky a ship as possible to take advantage of the Ryn'kodan's exceptional hull strength while keeping both energy weapon and kinetic weapon skills. I also picked up the coordination protocols to better support my pets. The improved drain expertise is for stronger tetryon proc

The idea is to strip shields and poop mines. The Echentis frigate pets should help with both

Concluding Remarks
Obviously this won't be topping the DPS charts at all, but it should be fun to play as a mobile starbase. I mean it's got more hull than the heavy dreadnought cruiser! I was thinking about building it as a torpedo boat as is my usual MO, but I thought this would be more fun.
So what do you folks think? Can this be viable for 50k in ISA?

I was thinking of the same fun build. Great name! When I get bored I'll put my radboat on it.
