Probably a solution to AS reign

[LGM]

I have no problem with the Psychic weapon. It has short range. If it misses, it takes a long time to reload. A Null Space Talismen ship will shred most anything it shoots at. Look at Base ships with a talisman and 5 massive mount Null Space. They will destroy any ship in one volley. Then they pull back for 2 turns while they reload. I recently played in a game where the 2 Psychic players lost to separate Religious players. With the economic benefits of shrines, Religious players can affort to build expensive ships.
