Nico tapped the data screens to bring up the information on the experimental Mecha, then started to input a whole new set of data points for a much larger unit.
"If the Arisen is right and we're going to have to fight something like the Golden Ones eventually, I have a really great idea of how we should be developing our Mecha in the future.
Being too large is actually a disadvantage in space combat. Unlike on the ground, where if you want to be able to hit every point on your opponent, you have to be nearly the same size as they are, in space, you just need mobility.
So, we should be making new Mecha that are just large enough to package everything that we need in a unit.
Spare ammunition, a Replicator system, a backup system, Warp Drives, spare antimatter and crystals, then a Deity slaying, galaxy-ending level of firepower, plus two spare swords."
