Insanity inducers don't work against core ships, starships, or anything immune to reclamation. The Human hull mounts a huge quantity of small modules (20 vs 8 on the Neinzul Battleship) and can mount a lot more guns capable of fighting those things. When you need to shift to blowing ships up instead of converting them, the Human hull is a lot more offensively capable than the Neinzul one is.

But against a real fleet of core ships, the human will get instagibbed anyway. Plus Bomber, Spire, Zenith, and Core starships all have hulls which the Neinzul gets massive bonuses against. Then consder how many guardians have medium hulls (most of them) which the Neinzul does well against. Then finally consider the meatier ships the AI uses in core / special forces fleets (Zen re processors, medic frigates,  , Spirecraft, Siege engines, tackle drones) all use hulls weak to Neinzul attacks. Even some of the guard posts are weak to it.

I feel like even when you consider the difference in mountable's, the Neinzul still does better against high level fleets than the human.
