After listing out and contemplating all of his options, Ves came up with a short-term list of objectives.
"The more objectives I complete, the closer I get towards overtaking Gloriana!"
For the duration of his tour through the Komodo Star Sector, he wanted to fulfill both Upgrade Missions from the System. The sooner he upgraded his main Skills, the sooner he could apply his gains in his subsequent mech designs, thereby achieving a significant jump in performance!
"Increasing the overall performance of my designs will also help me progress in other ways. Better mechs will enable me to earn more money, which I can spend on acquiring more exotics."
Everything was interconnected to a degree.
Improving his design abilities improved his ability to earn money.
Improving his earnings increased his access to beneficial goods and services, which subsequently improved his ability to design mechs.
