Ves studied Lord Richard Brownstone's work in greater detail.
He manipulated the projected interface and took a close look at his past mech designs, paying close attention to the ranged kinetic armaments.
From what he could tell, Lord Richard did not try to reinvent the wheel when it came to his mechs and weapon designs. They were serviceable for the most part if he designed them by himself, and quite good if he collaborated with others.
The grandson of the Brownstone Prince did not grow too conceited despite his imperial background. The scion of the Imperial Rubarthan Household figured out his specialization pretty early and focused all of his efforts into improving his ability to develop more powerful and useful kinetic rounds.
By focusing on imparting his projectiles with unusual effects such as generating EMP bursts or starting up fires, Lord Richard occupied a useful niche that not a lot of competitors explored to the same extent.
