Start of Negotiations

Ves was not accustomed to attracting so much interest from powerful pioneers.

His ego gained a significant boost as he verbally danced his way from one negotiation or another.

He had always known that his work was good enough to attract the attention and appreciation of a significant portion of the market.

However, much of the advantages conveyed by his mechs were difficult to translate into hard numbers.

There were many other products on the market that hit harder, withstood more damage or moved a little faster.

Creative and innovative mech designers tried to excel in ways that weren't so obvious and straightforward. Instead of joining the crowd, they stood apart from the mainstream by developing all kinds of gimmicks that gave their products a competitive edge. These features ranged from adding enhanced self-repair capabilities to their machines to making their mechs a lot harder to detect.
