What about the NSL superdreadnought-whose-class-name-I-can't-remember?
I was using it as a substitute Omega, but now that the Omegas are out
(and once I get some put together; thanks for all the posts on doing
*that*!) mine will get reassigned to Nova-class ship substitutions.

Maybe as an exercise in seeing how many turns the Hyperions and Nova
survive.
I ran a scenario which pitted 1 Sharlin against 3 Vorchans and a Primus.
Wiped the board with them the Sharlin did. Never suffered a threshold
check.
The Primus went up in 1 shot (partially to failed catastrophic damage
rolls).
Now, granted, we all agreed that the Vorchans were vastly underpowered
for
what we've seen them do, but still...
