~~Summary~~

The Vedmak is a fast, mid-ranged, extremely high-damage attack cruiser. It is most commonly used in high-speed evasive combat, and in those contexts it flown most similarly to an improved [[Omen Navy Issue]]: 20-50km range, good tracking, very good damage, relatively thin armor, but very able to control its engagement range and dart in and out of enemy retaliation. Furthermore, the Vedmak features 3 utility High slots, which are commonly used for either Energy Neutralizers or Smartbombs to push away hostile interceptors or drones.

The ~~'''~~Vedmak~~'''~~ is a ~~precursor ship~~. It ~~was released~~ in ~~the Into The Abyss expansion on May the 29th 2018~~, ~~alongside the two other initial precursor ships, the~~ [[~~Damavik~~]] and the ~~[[Leshak]]~~.

~~Only the precursor ships can fit~~ the [[~~Turrets#Precursor_turrets|Entropic Disintegrator~~]] ~~weapon. The new weapon system will occupy a single turret slot~~ and ~~only one can be fitted~~, ~~limited~~ to ~~Triglavian ships~~. This ~~opens many possibilities as a large number~~ of ~~utility highs remain free~~.

The Vedmak has lower damage and much thinner armor than its big brother the [[Drekavac]], but also notably better speed and range, and is thus more suited to high-speed evasive fighting than close brawling. This said, the ramping damage of the Entropic Disintegrator makes Vedmaks able to seriously threaten even hostile Carriers, while still being quick and accurate enough to escape from or shoot down hostile Fighters.

~~The~~ Entropic Disintegrator ~~has unique characteristics such as increasing~~ damage ~~per cycle~~ and ~~no falloff. When~~ a target is ~~out of range of the weapon~~, or if any ~~event causes the weapon to deactivate~~, the damage ~~ramp-up~~ is reset. The weapon system uses tracking mechanics and is impacted by tracking modules, using Entropic Radiation Sink modules as damage modules. The damage type is restricted to explosive and thermal. Ammunition is loaded into the Disintegrator like conventional weapon systems, and has no reload time.

Like all Triglavian combat ships, the Vedmak uses the unique Entropic Disintegrator weapon, a single turret with high damage and tracking, whose damage increases the longer it remains focused on a single target. Maximum damage is reached after 30 shots, or about two minutes. However, if the Disintegrator stops firing for any reason (manual deactivation, target lock broken, capacitor depletion, target out of range), the damage bonus is reset.
