Overall, Ves faced a serious challenge of his own. The base design of the Pointed Sentinel truly couldn't catch up with Captain Orfan. Considering her personality, she wouldn't be able to hold herself back too much.
If she piloted the Pointed Sentinel after it received only the most essential repairs, then she would do much more damage to her own mech than her opponent could ever inflict.
"Captain Orfan is her mech's worst enemy."
It sounded like a ludicrous statement, but instances like this happened many times before. Countless stories proliferated on the galactic net on how skilled mech pilots met their own end after transferring from a high-quality mech to a low-quality mech.
This showcased a fundamental truth. There should never be too much disparity between the strength of a mech and the strength of the mech pilot. Why do expert pilots insist on piloting extremely expensive custom mechs?
Because they would otherwise break their own mechs!
