I have used the capital ship, I mentioned in my post it required some skill and the AI can't handle it unless you have 2 or more working together.
As for Shturm, it may be great with practice, but unlike the similar safety overrides instead of doubling vents, it turns capacitors into vents, costing even more OP for the same benefit and meaning such a ship has such low flux cap that it's shields become useless, especially when it then reduces flux capacity and reduces shield efficiency, making it that much more fragile while nuking it's OP advantage. (With the new system for building it in, it still tanks your op, because it converts capacitors to vents.)

In other words, in exchange for making yourself even more vulnerable and tanking your OP, you get faster system recharge and dissipation... And maybe range, because it increases range up to a cap, and you can just instead get the integrated targetting system.
I prefer the other systems. Particularly shields.

I disagree with the shields part. mostly because of the system, so i can just escape as needed. also maye it's just me but I had quite a lot of OPs to spend, and everthying not in flux vents...well, could be invested in flux vents againn. maybe it's low OP weapons or fewer weapons than average for a capital? I do not know to be honest

It could be lots of things from difference in skills and loadouts to just how we prefer to fight. I found it worked poorly for me.

[ApolloStarsector]

Worry not, the update is in the works! Might take some time, but we're dead set on finishing it no matter what!

Hype!

Posting more unoffical VIC stuff from discord:

Sinpek —
"I've seen them, Lieutenant. I've looked them directly in their eyes as they screamed at me and pleaded me to somehow stop the inevitable from happening. I was the only one who was wearing a hazmat suit at the time, the others...the others did not make it. They weren't quick enough on the draw. They didn't hear the bad news quickly enough, I don't...I don't even know what, or why. I watched their horrified faces as the whiskers beneath their noses grew yet longer and longer, the tail and ears on their bodies betraying their vile, newfound form. I've lost a lot of excellent friends that day."

"Hanland got hit with the god damn virus when we were manually working the sealed doors after a stray shot fried the automated lock system. *** Hanland! I've eaten lunch with that man many times, I've known him like he was part of my god damn family, and now I had to watch him retch and scream as whatever VIC put into the canister was changing him into something alien, something perverse, an affront to life! The person I knew was completely gone in a matter of minutes!

When I saw him...when I saw him after the engagement was over, *** nuzzling up against the airlock door, purring. Purring like a cat. All whilst tears were streaming down his dementedly smiling face. I lost it. I simply lost it. I couldn't bear it anymore. I sat there for a good half an hour, watching his body slowly drift away from the window.

Whatever the VIC plans. Whatever they're doing. It needs to be stopped. All of this. They're not just killing us, Captain. They're taking our humanity away, forcing us to live out the rest of our days as monsters. Death is a mercy."
