Although the alien small craft were still inferior to human mechs in most aspects, the fact that each of them were protected by their own small transphasic energy shields still made it troublesome to eliminate them at a fast pace.
"Melee mechs, intercept the alien phasefighters!"
It was not efficient to eliminate the phasefighters by relying on ranged mech units.
Melee mechs equipped with space suppressors did a much better job at wiping them out so long as they could get within striking distance.
Commander Melkor gritted his teeth and quickly issued orders to redirect his faster and more mobile melee mech units to entangle the alien phasefighters.
"These phasefighters are getting faster, tougher and deadlier with each generation. We can't let them fly around with impunity!"
