Editing Tau Merchant Light Cruiser (section)

== In Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 1 & 2 ==

The Tau Merchant Light Cruisers begin to show the factions preference for broadside weaponry and split firing firing arcs over the Protector's coaxial turrets and frontal focused combined fire. Other important features of the Merchant fleet are a higher hull hit point pool than normal, balanced out by slower than normal engines for their size, actually coming out to be some of the slowest line ships in the game. Finally, they have the weakest assault actions possible and no ability to lightning strike, [[RIP AND TEAR|making this a faction you really want to avoid up-close fights with.]]

Ability wise the Merchants are a direct downgrade form the Protectors, losing out on troop damage, critical chance, still not having lightning strike but finally, losing the Warfare bonuses one can choose from at the beginning of the match.
