This is what happens when I try to switch from present (my original, maybe unorthodox style, since pretty much everyone else uses past tenses) to past tense (If you're wondering, Volume 7 of Index was completely translated from Chinese). Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Most likely it is that tabane tweeked the IS to allow Ichika only to pilot as a means to make things up to her sister. Or that it's creation likely with Chifuyu in mind (which was why girls were only able to pilot IS) extended instead onto Ichika since he is blood related to her. Ichika is very likely the first and only male in the world who will ever be able to pilot an IS unless Tabane decides to try and change it. that aside i have a question. Does Houki have a personal IS? She is ranked C as a pilot but she is also the sister of Tabane which likely gives her special rights. Yet in the anime it was mentioned that he borrowed a prototype mass production IS. |

Page 15 of the threat has a basic list of the weapons available. Yet, if you want a short summary of it: 4th Generation IS use zelda-type katanas. Great Katanas and dual wield katanas that are able to throw beams. 3rd Generation use plasma/energy long/middle range cannons with bits/swords or guns for short range. Charlotte`s Revive Custom is designed to be a cookie cutter, so basically it can equip any weapon available. XD Quote:
About the IS and the core, I think it was confirmed that Tabane did tweak it so that Ichika could go to the Academy and make up for her sister. Yet it was suppose to be a ruse and the IS was suppose to be controlled by remote control. I am pretty sure that Tabane knows how to make 4th Gen IS, but she still doesnīt understand completely why only females can pilot them and she has no clue about why Ichika can. BTW I don`t think it is a blood relation that allows Ichika to pilot the IS IMHO, or maybe I am wrong!!! XD About Houki, she is a terrible pilot (maybe the anger against her sister is the problem). But she is still the baby sister of Tabane!!! Her IS, the Crimson/Red Wing, was made as a "complement" of Byakku Shiki (it has long range sword beam, is able to recharge BS after using shield break, etc) with the same 4th Generation technology. I think it was mentioned that she gets it at the end of the 3rd Volume (episode 7/8?). |

btw is there any information in the LN about the unregistered core? did tabane make it or did the phantom task unlock the secret? If it was PT then it would seem wierd for it to crash a battle by a bunch of newbie students and then easedrop on them when they weren't attacking. i get the feeling it was probably tabane listening in on her precious sister's rival. She was trying to make a remote controlled IS so ichika couldgo to the academy and that was the result despite the fact that Ichika got in because he could actually pilot one. It does sound like something a mad scientist with a few screws loose would do. lol Last edited by cyberdemon; 2011-02-05 at 00:10. |

Suddenly this Ichika appears.....a boy that pilots the most advance/newer IS (media published that he was piloting a 3.5 generation IS), and that he can/may/will fix back the balance of power between man and woman (aka men owns, women to the kitchen!!).... So what is PT oficial stand: Ok....this boy.....we donīt know anything about him besides what the media says.....lets launch a drone to test him. If he is bad, it will kill him and case solved. If he some how survives, we need some intel to know if: A) His IS is that awesome, so we need to steal it B) he is that well trained (tactical/field strategy), so we need to send someone good to kill him C) All of the above. |

For the thing that Tabane was the one that created men-pilotabe ISes... how could she guess that Ichika was going to get lost in that academy and then stumble on that IS that was in that room with a big "ONLY STAFF" sign on it? O.o
If Ichika had gone to his exam normally... none of the current story would have happened...

i need to recap moar weapons added.... since im looking back at several posts
CQB (not teh names of thar blades plz) katana-like sword (houki) katana-longsword-like hybrid that its hilt is like a saber's (ichika) twin dao that can join together to become a polearm (rinn) lance (tatenashi) *needs confirmation since i can see from her in teh LN is a lance* gauntlet (ichika) *someone said that his IS will be equipped with a power fist variant* RANGE (still needs moar info) rocket pack (cecilia) energy sniper rifle (cecilia) mid-range laser (houki) *still needs confirmation* dragoon\gun platform system (cecilia) high power all purpose rifle (charlotte) laser cannon (somewhere buried in all the posts it was said belonged to laura) energy lance (tatenashi) *i think that the lance will fire a charged beam* twin shoulder lasers (rin) and lets get something right... in terms of combat ability (thats only known) ICHIKA -IS power armor has the 'berserker' type configuration in where shield power is diverted to weapon to enhance damage by 200% at the cost of having the user with less shield power or totally defenseless -power fist\gauntlet add-on will probably ignore shields and inflict much damage on the armor itself -has the 'field recharge' ability that converts any form of beam\laser attacks into his own energy, making the power armor in the said mode to be nearly untouchable against ranged beam weapons CECILIA -long range combat unit effective for sniping and engaging at medium range -has absolutely NO close combat weaponry -dragoon platform system is able to distract opponent for user to nail the enemy -most arsenals are laser based, only rocket packs are exception RINN -versatile combat unit thats a challenge in close range and near medium range -twin shoulder mounted lasers inflict huge damage to enemies HOUKI -still dun know about IS power armor stats in combat CHARLES -versatile power armor that can be fitted to suit its combat environ -still dun fully know about its stats in combat LAURA -still dun know about its stats in combat well lulz mode is ovar...

Laura would be Cecila's IS guns upped to the eleven...
Houki's IS was apparently made to "complement" Ichika's, so I guess a safe bet would be "another berserk IS" or "safe melee IS that heals people...

About Houki's IS, think about it as a combination between a meat shield and a supporter type. Basically it needs to bait the enemy and hold it enough time for Ichika to go for the 1-hit KO. Then recharge the BS if needed and find the next target. BTW Zeker, don`t forget to add that Ichika`s IS can absorb Energy-based attacks (beams). |

Which means PLOT HOLE as Cecilia's beams did very nice damage to him, the Drone IS did VERY NICE damage to him... and so forth. (Unless he has to activate it like Alien Soldier)

IS has two "phases", and 4th gen IS has 3. Currently in anime (vol 2 i think) all personal IS are in phase 1, and phase 2 gives an upgrade and new weapons/skills. The Energy absorbing skill is obtained by Ichika when he gets to second phase. They "skill up" happens around volume 5-6 i think . |
