Ves had become enamored by his upgraded and modernized Spirit of Bentheim.
Everything had become faster, stronger or more diverse.
The MTA shipyard also removed a lot of Hexer influences from the original builders of the factory ship.
Though the vessel still vaguely possessed a six-sided hull on the outside, the corridors and many compartments no longer adopted similar shapes.
The ship architecture no longer annoyed Ves as much as it did in the past, though Gloriana held the opposite opinion.
The only true part about the Spirit of Bentheim's comprehensive upgrade that irritated Ves was that she never had a chance to show off the full capabilities of her three identical superdrives!
It was fun to accelerate the factory ship to unreal speeds by warping the space around her hull, but it was not advisable for her to distance herself too far from the rest of the expeditionary fleet.
