Your's wasn't that bad to start with the firepower seemed a bit too high, but it was otherwise not that bad and had notable weak points. It also mostly stuck with established stuff (a big ass beam cannon is hardly unthinkable). My issue is with guys just making up random new systems with basically no precedent teleporting, cloaks that also somehow double as I-fields, "one hit kill" melee weapons and so on. (when a melee weapon so powerful it has to drain shield energy can't manage that in canon), and advacned non IS power armor.
Honestly if this was say a One Year War thread like half the cast would be new types piloting custom gundams or something. I don't mind people having there own assigned IS, I'm not looking to be a Nazi, but Gen 3 is NEW. Units of that level are still rare and most models should be customized mass production units of late Gen 2 at most. Instead everyone and there mother is busting out one off Gen 3 or even higher super prototypes and crap. I can perfectly understand wanting to stand out a bit and tailor your fighting style, but there's a fine line between that and just ignoring the setting and becoming overpowered and unrealistic.
