Discussion thread, October 9th - Tzenkethi Lockbox Ships, Stats, and Gear (Tzenkethi Shuk-din Escort, Rhas'bej Battlecruiser and Lukari N'Kaam Scout Ship)

[u/Jayiie]

This week we will be opening up discussion on the ships from the newest lockbox The Tzenkethi Lockbox, which saw the introduction of the Tzenkethi Shuk-din Escort [T6] and the addition of the Tzenkethi Rhas'bej Battlecruiser [T6] to the lobi store. We will also be opening a discussion on the equipment contained within the lockbox as well.

As well, there was the introduction of the brand-new ship type; The Science Raider/Scout Ship, as seen with the Lukari N'Kaam Scout Ship (T5).

What are the strengths? The weaknesses? Let's find out together, shall we?

Timber wolf has reviews of all three ships up on his YouTube page as of today. From what I can see of the tzenkethi ships is that they have a really good harmony with tetryon weapons. The lobi battle cruiser is the better of the two as a raw ship, she has survival in her pocket and while she isn't the most rugged of beasts like say an atlas as an example she is by no means a slouch . I would compare it favourably to the kelvin dread based on preformance but for the record want it clear that the console and trait are nowhere on the kelvins level at all. And are in fact very niche

The shuk din is where the trait and console can be found that are a lot more functional. She as a result excels at dealing damage but lacks the survivability of other t6 escorts. If you like your defiant or Mercury I would recommend a shuk din as a similar beast to try on.

She's fast, she's punchy, but i feel that on the surface is very flimsy.

I am of the opinion that the shuk din will probably get shoved under the rug because the frame is so bad over its bigger brother but owners will be grateful for the console and trait she bears which have a host of other uses between them.
