Chapter 6407 The Jacket Commander

Ves frowned.

He did think about implementing the Energy Weaver Mech Ecosystem in the Yellow Jacket designs.

Initially, he thought about developing exclusive editions for the Larkinson Clan. He later thought of the potential of making it available to the public as well.

He eventually decided to trash this idea. The final iterations of the Yellow Jackets and the Jacket Commanders which could have become stronger eventually returned to more reasonable standards.

Jovy clearly disagreed with this decision. As a Survivalist, he was strongly inclined to support any initiative that made red humanity stronger.

Letting the first Carmine mechs manipulate the power of E energy radiation in a deeper and more profound fashion could have made a significant difference on the battlefield!

The effect of the mech ecosystem was akin to allowing a large group of living mechs to produce a pseudo-domain.

In practice, leveraging this pseudo-domain was difficult, but not impossible as long as the living mechs continued to grow older and more experienced.

This was why most applications of the Energy Weaver Mech Ecosystem were a bit slow to pick up steam within the Larkinson Clan.

The newer generation of mechs that incorporated this feature were only just starting to grow old and powerful enough to make active use of the Energy Weaver Mech Ecosystem.

When Ves decided to cut the Energy Weaver Mech Ecosystem from the Swarm Project, he arguably sabotaged the future of his own civilization.

Perhaps the difference in power may be significant enough that red humanity may end up retreating from the border regions and open up the hinterhand to alien raids! This would lead to a lot more human death and misery that could have been prevented if the mechs were a little stronger.

However, Ves did not completely believe in this sequence of events.

[Jovy, the Energy Weaver Mech Ecosystem is a new and advanced application of E-technology. It is not refined and can occasionally produce accidents. I also reserved it for the exclusive use of the Larkinson Clan. You can't expect me to give up one of my clan's competitive advantages and make it available to the masses through the mechs of the Swarm Project. This is a dangerous dwarf galaxy, and it always pays to have a few trump cards in my hands. The most recent battle has vindicated my decision as far as I am concerned.]

That was a pretty heavy hint that he did not appreciate the ambush over the Mazepan System.

Although the battle eventually turned out to be immensely profitable for Ves and Saint Tusa, that did not change the fact that they could have fallen under other circumstances!

While the more radical and braindead cosmopolitan cells genuinely wanted to do whatever it took to eliminate Ves, they couldn't have gathered so many powerful forces without the secret collusion of the Huntsman and other supremely powerful human leaders!

The mention of the third ace pilot of the Larkinson Clan added a bit more credibility in

his statement.

If a Larkinson mech pilot worked well enough with Titania to the rank of ace pilot, then that would make people a lot more interested in working with this mysterious design

spirit!

After Ves briefly explained how Titania could benefit the pilots of the Jacket Commander in an abstract sense, he quickly moved to the most exciting part about these command

mechs.

"Now, I am sure that you have been waiting for the key features of the Jacket Commander. While I have already mentioned that all three editions of the Jacket Commander can more easily connect and communicate with Yellow Jacket mechs. What I did not mention is that they can communicate through E-technology rather than more conventional communication methods. Strong interference and jamming cannot inhibit this method of communication, so there is a much higher chance of maintaining contact

all of the time."

People began to look a little more impressed, but this did not exactly floor them in an

instant.

"The second key feature of the Jacket Commanders are their Ultimate Modules. Just as with the case of the previous Carmine mechs, the Jacket Commander comes with an Ultimate Module that can produce a powerful effect at a crucial time. Unlike the Sacrifice Ultimate Module that I have presented earlier, the Ultimate Modules installed inside these command mechs will not transform the Jacket Commanders into bombs.

They are too precious and important to discourage this kind of waste." People would have complained if this were the case. As command mechs, the Jacket Commanders should never be deployed in great numbers. They are meant to serve as force multipliers to the Yellow Jackets under their guidance. The Ultimate Module that I have designed for the Jacket Commanders reflect this purpose." Another overlay formed over the chests of the Jacket Commanders. They clearly exposed a portion of the internal architecture, but also highlighted the blocky module installed in the middle of the abdomen!

"The Clairvoyance Ultimate Module is largely geared towards rapid analysis and planning." Ves explained. "It possesses no direct combat function, but can offer a great amount of guidance in a pinch. When activating the Battle Planner Ultimate Ability, it will expend a large amount of electrical energy and E energy to mobilize the mind of the mech pilot, the spiritual foundation of the Jacket Commander and a portion of the vast intelligence of the Titania to build an overview of the battle. The Ultimate Module will then draw upon that knowledge and wisdom to rapidly develop a personalized plan on how you can best tip an ongoing battle in your favor with the assets under your control." People did not know how to react to this. Compared to the much simpler and more straightforward Ultimate Ability of the Yellow Jackets, the one that Ves bestowed on the Jacket Commanders sounded a lot more vague and dubious!

Ves was not surprised by the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd. The Jacket Commander

was not designed for direct combat, so he felt it would be stupid to enhance its direct combat capabilities.

An Ultimate Module that could help mech commanders gain an overview of the battle

and tell them what they needed to do in order to accrue advantages could be very handy in the right scenarios!
