Axia has AAP's and the rarely used Axia Wraith. There should be some difficulty in making a choice between which faction to prefer. As of now, I know of nothing Valent offers that would make me give them a second thought.

I love my AAPs, and agree....they should have a competing weapon.....but something different enough that it's a real choice. Perhaps something to rival the raven. Something that caters to the light/agile crowd to compliment the Raven.

What about the Valent Neutron Accelerator? It's pretty decent, maybe tweak it up a touch (to make it just a bit better then the N3) and have Valent actually sell it?

Don't Valent provide that alternate manufacturing mission for one of the capship parts? If so, make it require being admired. Maybe give Axia a similar sort of mission for a different part.

Rarely used?!

I agree with spence. Hovercraft are boss. The valent maud is rather useless.
