Through the passionate and concerted efforts of Ves and his partner, the designs of the light skirmisher and the hybrid mech started to approach their final forms.
Despite the many odd and unconventional design choices that Ves indulged in, he did not continue to go crazy with regards to the more basic and fundamental properties of his mech designs.
He did not do anything too special or out of the ordinary with regards to the armor system, the energy management, the heat management, the control systems and many other aspects of the mech designs.
Juliet naturally improved and optimized anything related to the mobility of the mech designs, but otherwise did the same with regards to everything else.
Neither Ves nor Juliet had any special expertise when it came to tweaking the armor systems and so on. Rather than waste their time on improving anything critical and risk getting it all wrong, they would rather stick to the blueprints provided by the database.
