Also the flux stats on Theseus and Kratos make them poor tanks
Theseus has good armor and can use the system to keep things running for longer. Not only flux stats make up a tank.  +it can be an awesome torpedo ship.
Kratos is meant to kite with beams.

The TD pocket BC will rip you in half bro.  GL with that:)
I try to balance against vanilla, not other mods.

Hmm..well my captain is usually in a morai.  NPC gets the Kratos and the AI isnt very good at kiting.  At least the not player AI..i swear the enemy AI is smarter!

Were both your ships under AI control?  Test AI vs AI, no captains,  and let me know your results
No, I played the battle twice - for both sides.
Now tested with AI too. Results are pretty much the same for Moros vs Xu: AI handles some variants even better than me (those requiring micromanaging many weapon groups). Multiple kills with little to no hull loss. Thanatos never managed to win, as expected, but dealt considerable damage.

I need to play your mod more Celestis, but the cap ships feel well balanced to me with what time I have spent with them.

About the Xu, it really is an anti battlecruiser battlecruiser. Easily overpowers any cap ship that is not a full on battleship, yet lacks the mobility to disengage from heavier opponents.
Pocket battleship designation fits.

I just had a really bad surprise when i found out that the Aether Multi EMP goes through phase cloak. Needless to say, i panicked a bit when my flagship engines were shut down in the middle of the enemy fleet.

It might be a good idea to write it down on the ship description.

Oh, that is actually a bug) It shouldn't be able to do that.

The poll yielded 2 most wanted features for the next release: capital carrier and new weapons.
So here is the WIP sprite for the first one:

It will have slightly less bays than Astral, but will have a system capable of improving its fighter force. Fighter-heavy fleets might finally become a good option for PBC. Currently tweaking it as well as AI for existing stuff, and thinking of new weapons.

I went outside one day, the graphics were amazing, but the gameplay sucked...
Prepare yourselves for miscapitalization errors! *evil laugh*

Currently 3 large mounts: 1 ballistic and 2 missile. But I haven't made final decision yet.

Don't you think it's a bit too wide? And makes for an easy to shoot target?

That wouldn't be a problem for a support ship, but since you gave it 3 large mounts you intend for it to be used in active combat no?

Quite a bit)
It is not intended to be on the frontlines, despite its weapons. Astral has 2 large missile slots and 3 med energy, but do you really expose it? Capital carrier is way too precious to waste it that way. I consider these weapons more as emergency equipment (but something really long-range, like Hurricane, will definitely fit too).
There is something in what you say, though. I'm currently testing it with Omni shield and AI totally fails to raise it against MIRVs. Too fat, lol. Perhaps I'll give it a built-in accelerated shield hullmod...
Anyway, the system that I was talking about is going to prevent you from firing anything, so you are likely to keep it relatively far from battle most of the time.

Equipping any kind of stasis beam lowers your flux per second stat to zero.
