Venerable Tusa Billingsley-Larkinson resonated with his Dark Zephyr to the utmost as he concentrated on how to overcome his latest challenge.
The expert pilot had been searching for a way to make himself more relevant in battles against warships for a long time.
No matter whether the Dark Zephyr received his long-awaited upgrade or not, a light skirmisher simply did not possess the hard power needed to effectively breach the ubiquitous transphasic energy shields that so many alien warships possessed!
Any other mech at the same level could do a much better job than a machine that primarily wielded a pair of short weapons.
Although Tusa knew that he could make his expert mech a little more suitable for the job by switching to a heavier and more powerful weapon loadout, he instinctively resisted such a shift.
