The major trouble with all "slash" type beams, is that they are inconsistent. The Slashers tend to slash past there target, sometimes inflicting more or less damage, whereas solid beams, however statistically inferior, either hits or misses, and usually hits. As slash beams go the VSlash is pretty good, the GVCv Sobek often uses them to good effect.

Mount one of these on the Aten's forward turret, and this cruiser becomes a force to be reckoned with. The most powerful corvette/cruiser beam used by the GTVA. Only the BGreen and BFGreen cause more damage.
