@ Eras
here's the list Kirishima Heavy Industry - Japan General Dynames - USA & Israel Degtyarev - Russia Saint Emerald Incorporated - Britain & Norway Gaia Arms Fabric - Italy & Sweden Libero Enders - South America Schwarz Kreuz Gmbh - German Dunois Corporation - France @ Demi Yes, as said before, it's high mobility space pack... but ended up used in cannonball event anyway (not in the race, but in the fight with golems & PT). Inside atmosphere, it was calibrated to compensate for the stability loss. Overall though it's still considered improvement.

@zero: At what class of destructive power would the wings' offensive capabilities be at? a primary weapon or a anti-missile anti-personnel vulcan class?
@eras: I think it's implied that it's because Byakushiki has free will that it was able to evolve into Setsura so quickly despite being such a young unit. It's possible data from White Knight was involved but mostly it was by Byakushiki's choice. EDIT: The fact they are also choosy about equalizers also implies sentience/free will. |

Vulcan class to distract enemies and sweeping missile around. It was supposed to be neutered, but due to the bulkiness of ByakuShiki's wings + Silver Bell, there's no place for Ichika to mount light caliber Gatling he usually carry, it was left functional.

ERAS HAS FINALLY AWOKEN!
@zero: The only flaw I see in using the silver bell's wing cannons is that in such a weakened state, it's probably going to need continuous fire to deal with probable agile missiles and enemies. Using it as a distraction will be difficult because I'm sure using continuous fire means giving up on its use as wings+thrusters for an extended time. I think in the battle with gospel, the only time it shoots and flies at the same time at high speed is when it takes half a second to flap and send a few bolts towards the protags' way. The way I see it... maybe keeping it at full power may actually be a good idea. |

It's not like it's extremely dull, just less gamebreaker. Also, it's more accurate than before (mostly because less plasma need to be compressed and thus tighter magnetic bottle), therefore instead of random plasma bolt bombardment, we have a continuously firing multi-barrel plasma gun.
This allow Ichika to attack enemy and distract it using the plasma barrage and finally use Yukihira as finishing move when he managed to get into close combat. Remember, it's main function is mobility booster, he still have his main propulsion. If only that unit is mounted into more balanced unit like Rafael, it'll still retain the full power and still inaccurate, relying on constant barrage and causing collateral damage.

@eras: Well I'm only sticking to tech canon and world building canon. This establish what rules I can bend so we're on even ground.
@zero: What I meant was that because you need sustained fire that makes the wings a possible liability. Imagining your design where you said that Silver Bell had to take into consideration Byakushiki's wings to install Silver Bell, I thought they'd be in each other's way a bit which leads me to the next point. Silver Bell can't be used as both offensive weapon and thruster at once, if it performs sustained fire then it basically becomes a bulky beam vulcan. If it interferes with Byakushiki's wings, then not only do you lose the mobility granted by the wings during that time, you also lose mobility due to interference to the main propulsion. Well... just saying how I see it. I probably don't have the same image of your Byakushiki as you do. |

@ Demi
Wait... OH SHIT you're right *Quickly went to concept draft* And so that's epic fail of me, thank you for the explanation. Ill change it. @ Eras Yes, it was rude. Then again, it's more like a self-satisfying prank than anything.

@zero: no prob... though they really were in each other's way? The biggest issue is also the fact that the barrels are in the wing tips so if you're shooting forward then the wings have to flex forward. Good luck.
I'ma turn in for the night. happy writing guys. |
