Taboo Mech Idea

Ves was fair to Zanthar.

If the young Apprentice Mech Designer squandered his resources or failed to make use of his opportunities, then Ves would have dressed him down.

Yet now that Zanthar had proven through his own actions over the years that he had methodically worked to attain a result that was impressive enough to earn everyone's appreciation, he deserved an applause for making this much progress in a difficult research direction.

Sure, his current results did not seem impressive at all. There was still a long way to go from producing a proof of concept to developing a mature design application.

This was why Zanthar had yet to become a Journeyman.

A Journeyman Mech Designer was a professional that had already managed to develop a working mech design that was reflective of his design philosophy.
