1024 kW (=~1 MW) would be the same output as modern main battle tank, more or less, but we're talking about engine THE size of a tank itself.
Problem is, we knew GN Drive is near indestructible, probably owes to heavy structure and shielding. Furthermore, we all knew that creation of antimatter is NOT easy (we're talking about a perpetual motion engine that accelerate proton decay here), probably, even super advanced technology of GN Drive couldn't produce more than that output. They're more concerned about 'unlimited endurance' than 'super massive output', besides, pixie dust already solved power discrepancy. Oddly, I can relate this to I.S. core, though I.S. core probably has far superior power density than that.

Playing fallout right now Still boggles my mind that peope would side with the faction that makes people slaves, turns anyone who's not a healthy male into a slave or sex slave, routinely crucify's people, and is composed of tribals who seem to love burning things.

IS don't seem to be producing that much power... well I guess the anti-grav would guzzle quite a bit and just about breaks even with the power generation... But I don't quite think it's that high output.
also, apparently anti-matter has an average of 180 terra-joules per gram ratio. Since monopole engine involves pair annihilation I can only imagine you'd be liberating all 180 terrajoules which makes me wonder how long does the process take if it only produces 1024kW. I would have clocked it at least 10MW |

Beam cannon, nuff said.
An it's implied that their propulsion runs purely on electrical power. Whereas the output of the core is NOT enough to supply everything, we all knew it can charge I.S. capacitor fully in several minutes (Such as how some of the harem members taken down and recover during Gospel battle). Furthermore, it can easily convert material into data and vice versa, something that should take massive amount of energy if done conventionally. As for the output, I can't say anything, that was stated on the manual and I just trying to rationalize it. Besides, it could be writer's fault again, don't they know that MPD Thruster require 1 freaking Kilowatts to produce 1 N thrust?

That's even worse..... nuclear reactor don't work like that
All in all, we have to do some balance. Because we knew humanoid mecha is complex, lumbering target with poor aerodynamic and armor value in real life, there's always somethings we should kick about realism

At this point, all we can ever get out of canon is simply "the IS Core did it".

Well... to be honest the humanoid mecha was developed for space combat. A fighter in space is inferior because it would rely completely on propulsion. Humanoid units are superior because of AMBAC but in the earth's atmosphere or anywhere else. They need a crapload of mods for them to work and even then they may not be as effective as fighters. That is my analysis.

^ What he said
Hell, you don't even need AMBAC if you have good old Gyroscope, but that's another topic that made some of the so-called fans mad at me. Back to I.S., I need a design concept for Australian I.S. Outback Screamer, I was thinking about using some kind of Jammer as it's main perks, which reduce the effectiveness of energy barrier and Absolute defense, as well as any kinds of application of those (which includes Yukihira in my fanon). Now I need the listing of main and secondary armament.

The gyroscope would be pointless because you'd have to incorporate a ton of other thrusters and stabilizers since the gyroscope only reorients the pilot perspective. If you use an external gyroscope to reorient the whole ship then that's pointless because there is no guarantee that the external rings can be treated as stable inertial reference frame.
The advantage of a humanoid unit then is it has both agility, armor and firepower superior to that of a fighter when in space. When you say Outback Screamer, I can only imagine either A) it makes use of sonic weapons B) the engines are so loud it screams. |

The [Screamer] part are on the weapon itself, it's breaks the integrity of the energy barrier by emitting powerful quantum electromagnetic blast. It can be focused for longer range (flashlight effect), or create a spherical area with much smaller radius.
At close range, it can even interferes with the working system of enemy I.S., furthermore, it provides certain defense against charged particle weapon by destabilizing the containment field. Whereas Outback Screamer itself are insulated against secondary effect, it's own barrier still weakened to a slightly lesser degree.
