Superpublish Dilemma
Ves did not often make use of the System's Superpublish function.
He did not really want to take credit for work he didn't really do. He always lost a sense of ownership towards the designs he worked so hard to make over the course of many months.
Abusing the Superpublish function was a good way to grow lazy and overly dependent on external help. This was not conducive to the growth of a mech designer. People like Ves needed to figure out stuff by themselves and learn how to push through increasingly more difficult research problems.
He would rather squander his Superpublish opportunities or use them on his less important mech designs if that was what it took to preserve his integrity as a mech designer.
Perhaps many people would scold him or criticize him for wasting these chances, but Ves always stuck to his own ideas on how he should approach his work.
That said, he felt he was ready to make use of this powerful System feature.
