Picked a new flagship as the Leshak has proven to be a strong ship that fits well into the role I need it. It is actually a shared title between two different ships with two different configurations.
Vash’ka docking at the Goryn Stronghold after an engagement
- Full name of the flagship: Vash’ka
- Nickname: Laser pointer, Troika.
- Class: Leshak
- Age: A half year
- Homedock: Goryn Stronghold - Argo (J211000)
- Builder: classified
- Status: In service
- Souls on board: classified
- Purpose: Anti-capital siege (Troika configuration), Skirmishing (Nano configuration)
- Reasons for flagship designation:
The Leshak is a vessel that can easily punch above it’s weight and the Entropic Disintigrator provides us an effective tool against the heavy defences of capital vessels. Leshaks can reach an excellent speed, making it great for fighting outnumbered, while still carrying durable armor, making it able to endure some heavy fire. On top of all this it features a high amount of utility and a large dronebay.
All this makes the Vash’ka just what I needed and it has allowed me to develop my combat performance especially in situations where I have not had the same possibilities before the Leshak got into capsuleer hands. - Favorite moments: I have two favorite moments with the Vash’ka
First was getting featured in an official DED report on the Leshak’s capabilities. The report refered to an engagement we have had where we with 4 Leshaks, 2 Nestors, and a small support wing of cruisers and destroyers took out 2 Supercarriers, 1 Dreadnaught, 2 Carriers, and some of their support. ((The “DED report” can be found here.))
Then there was taking out a Leviathan and a sizable capital fleet with our “Troika” Leshaks with assistance of a Pandemic Legion Bomber fleet. We were able to hold the grid ourself but we decided to call in aid as we were worried about a potential saving attempt by Test Alliance. Fortunately Test Alliance didn’t show up.
Our Leshaks’s combined power let us break through the shields of the Leviathan Titan.
