A Ion Battlecruiser, using Zoltan, Slug, and Federation technology, the Tsunami is the pinnacle of electronic warfare technology, designed to disable entire ships with its advanced ion beam. It lacks shields, cloak, and maneuverability, however, these systems can be bought and upgraded.

About the ship:
This is a complete ship mod.
- Custom hull graphic
- Custom weapon
- Custom shield graphic
- Completed floor graphics and gibs
Notes:
- May conflict with my Tengu Type-1 mod, which disables buy-able drone system.
- May conflict with any mod that modifies the Vindicator Beam
- Advanced Ion Beam replaces the Vindicator Beam
- Advanced Ion Beam can be upgraded to level 5
- Tsunami Type-1 was designed to disable ships then finish them off with their heavy lasers
- Tsunami Type-2 was designed to disable ships and then board them with drones and crew members
- Both ships equipped with Ion Shielding and Titanium System Casing augments
In terms of difficulty, this ship is OP because of its Advanced Ion Beam, however, because of its lack of shields, cloak and maneuverability you will be getting hull and system hits more often. Once you get better upgrades/shields/weapons/crew it becomes easier. Haven't fully play tested it yet, so still working out the balancing.
About the mod:
- replaces the Federation Cruiser
- to make it replace a different ship, simply change blueprint name in the blueprints append file
This game uses art assets from the original FTL game. Some of them have been heavily modified to suit the style of the ship.
Enjoy!
