The biggest gamechanger to Ves was not just the transition from second-class mechs to first-class mechs, but access to more exclusive high technologies.
The foremost high technology that Ves had always been greedy for was support link technology!
Also called linking technology, it was a sophisticated way to transfer energy from one machine to another.
Ves had witnessed it in action several times. He had seen CFA warships link their defenses together to withstand the strongest blows with their combined strengths.
He had also seen the MTA's first-class multipurpose mechs confront alien warships head-on without fear for their overwhelming firepower.
While energy link technology and shield link technology was subject to a lot of constraints that imposed limits on what they could do, they were still essential to develop mechs that could compete at the highest level!
