After a day of drafting and preparation work, the mech designers of the LMC made a lot of progress.
With the help of the assistant mech designers, Ves quickly selected the most appropriate new generation components to pair with his marksman mech.
Since Ves intended to design a premium mech, he benefited from a generous budget.
Armor was by far the most expensive component of most mechs. What made his marksman mech different was that Ves did not intend to allocate the bulk of his budget on improving its toughness.
In fact, he chose to do the opposite! Ves settled for a cheap, lastgen armor system that offered poor protection but was very easy to work with. Not only that, but he only applied the minimum amount of armor necessary to hold the mech together and prevent it from deforming if subjected to gravity!
