The mech that took shape at the end of the design session set a new standard for Ves. The assistance provided by his design seed guided his thoughts and accelerated his mental calculations by a considerable margin!
A different way to describe the difference was that his intuition with regards to mechs experienced a qualitative leap. Whereas before he needed to perform meticulous calculations or simulations in order to know whether he made a good design choice, now he could just take one deep look and make a very accurate judgement.
This kind of help was very valuable when Ves was short on time and needed to design a mech on the fly!
Exercising his design seed and his accelerated design abilities gave him a greater understanding of the power of Journeymen.
"No Journeyman is a bad mech designer. Their mastery of the basics is so good that they can work faster and still stay on the right track."
