Amiable Farewell
Ves had been using much of the time after the short engagement of New Kreon to reflect on the role and the value of heavy artillery mechs.
For many years, his design work largely centered around spaceborn mechs. This was where the Larkinson Clan fought most of its battles.
Since it was important for Ves and his Design Department to meet the needs of his own clan first, it was natural for them to work on a lot of spaceborn mechs and multi-environmental mechs.
Ves thought it was fully worth it to dedicate himself towards spaceborn mech combat. All of the mechs that he and his fellow Larkinson mech designers pumped out in the last few years performed so well in space that they were highly competitive against other second-class spaceborn mechs.
However, this also deprived him from a lot of opportunities to familiarize himself with planetary mech combat. Space and land were two completely separate environments that had few intersections with each other.
