Ark rushes can be extremely strong, however they are also a faction-unique strategy so I would hate to see it gone completely.
My suggestion is to make some of the Ark weapon slots cost Hyperium or Titanium (maybe 1 of the large ones costing Hyperium and the other Titanium).
The starting Ark would default with whatever weapons it currently has, but for further Arks you either would need to have those resources or re-design the Ark so that it doesn't use those weapon slots.
Hopefully, this creates just enough of a speed bump so that other factions have enough time to fight back, but still be viable enough that if you see a Vodyani nearby you will know that the threat is there.
