Well most every draft I've read either has the hero appearing out of nowhere herding the canon cast away despite being completely capable of defeating the enemies themselves, probably. And then he disappears without a trace. The canon cast don't seem to give his identity much weight other than, "wonder who that guy was? Maybe we should report it in?"
Then when they try to piece together his identity there's little tension. They know its called minerva, they know its weapon systems little by little throug observation of its combat but have little to no luck in piecing where it was made and what design it's based on. Our hero was deduced out of a list of potential people who could be the pilot. But there's a sense of "now what?". Don't get me wrong, the scenes are intense and fun reads but the overall atmosphere is lacking. That easily makes people mistake the fic as a sue thing.
