Mine would be a threat against a few ships or a very small fleet. Alas, only the really good roleplayers treat the warfare as if it wasn't insta-everything, so if a Valkian ship comes across anything other than an Etheral or a hivemind ship, they're screwed. They're sighted, and immediately, there'll be a thousand ships bearing down on them in just a moment or two. Hardly fair, is it? But it's really just butting heads to see who's got more overall strength unless they're in the mood to write a full battle out, like me and mr. Etheral. My new ships will have an immensely greater striking capability.
