Ves did not work on the Pacifier Project on a continuous basis. He spent much of his time on his numerous other mech design projects.
With so many mech designs on his plate, he was forced to ration his time as efficiently as possible. He was happy that Professor Taigen Voiken was both willing and capable of taking on the majority of the workload.
This way, Ves could spend much of his time on the works that fully reflected his design style and vision.
During the early stages of the Pacifier Project, Ves did not provide too much input on the ongoing design efforts. Professor Taigen pretty much designed the internal architecture as well as much of the armor layout by himself.
The Senior also picked out the various mech parts or designed them himself in case he wasn't satisfied with the available licenses.
One of the most important elements of a law enforcement mech was its suppression method.
