ES Zurich Mk III -Ion Kite CR

ES Zurich Mk III:
The ES Zurich Mk III is an Ion Kite Cruiser utilizing quad Mine-Launchers in addition to aimable prism batteries, making prolonged chases a dangerous endeavor for enemies. Feeding the prisms is a 12-Ion Chamber with 6 outlets for a total of 1050% ion damage. Protecting this array is a Shield Neck with 4 Large Shields per side and in front, with a detachable nose for a speed boost should it be required. 2 batteries of 11 PD-guns per side round out the cruiser's defenses. Offloading any EMP damage found on previous versions to dedicated EMP-escorts like the ES Oslo, the Mk III instead opts for lighter weight in addition to further upgrading it's thruster setup.
