you could try posting this on the starsider forums.

On intrepid the average VK has speed of 2.2 and a max damage of around 147

I do much better with low HAM VKs. there is a large and noticeable difference (depending on your smith's willingness to get into the process).

the difference made by losing a few dozen points of HAM on your VKs is of course going to vary by your character plan. my character has the lowest possible strength and quickness--high HAM VKs hurt, but with my low HAM VKs i can spam specials. I do not remove the VKs for specials because i rarely make a swing that is NOT a special.

i recommend trying all types and seeing what suits your playstyle. there are a large number of variables involved.

i'd ask a smith to experiment for low HAM costs.

Starsider's VK's are like this as well.

Curse the lack of an edit button...

The way HAM experimentation works, each point shaves 1 or 2 off the cost. Its not worth it considering the ammount of speed and damage you would lose.

I have a couple low-HAM VK's. The killing efficiency does not improve. Stick with the high damage versions and use a mind cost powerup.

My VK is 2.2 -187

HAM costs arnt too bad, so long as the fight doesnt drag out too long.
