New packs for Starwright and Merion!

Spoiler for modules:

Name : Diana Pack

Weapons : MEISTER-S (Sniper version) /w 15x50mm CRAM (Critical Range Anti-Materiel) rounds or regular sinclair-thread beams, Advanced All-Round IFF-Multipulse Radar, HELIX NLOSRG one-shot Launchers x5, 2x shoulder-mounted CIWS (can also be used to shoot melee IS-es), beam shortblade.

Description : Named after the goddess of hunt, this pack is used for interdiction and destroying enemies from afar, particularly with the destructive CRAM rounds which fly over 8500m and destroying whatever it hits, or the sinclair-thread beams that expand rapidly once it discharges from the gun's capacitors, creating large holes in the path of where the beam passed.

For immediate threats, it has the shoulder mounted CIWS to take down projectiles and a beam shortblade should the time come to lock swords. If the enemy tries to run or hide, the Advanced radar is able to track their positions with help from satellite positioning and fire the Non-Line of Sight Rocket Grenades, loaded with deadly HELIX warheads to ensure the target gets knocked off the sky or off the ground.

However, it is advised for pilots not to engage in melee combat with this add-on, as the single beam shortblade may not be enough against seasoned melee combatants.

Name : Antelope Recon Pack

Weapons : VDash Thrust Accelerator x 6 (4 on wings, 2 on feet), Propofol painkiller autoinjectors, MEISTER, Beam pistol, EMP discharger, beam shortblade, stealth generator.

Description : Initially the recon version of the exoskeleton used by the males in the MDF, it was modified for the IS girls when there was a need for aerial recon. The thrust accelerators provide a sudden boost of speed for 2 minutes before wearing out, and the light loadout allows for higher speeds to be achieved. When surrounded, the EMP discharger can be activated to temporarily stun opponents in a 50m radius to allow for a quick escape, at the cost of what little shields the IS equipped with this pack already has.

Also taken over from the original exoskeleton design were the stealth generator and the painkiller autoinjectors, the latter which is used by the ground recon teams after running long distances at high speeds with help from the exoskeletons, but straining the muscles and causing intense pain. For some reason, the autoinjectors are not removed, so once the AI diagnoses high agony levels in the IS pilot body, the autoinjector is triggered, sometimes at a price of knockout or severe disorientation for several minutes as IS-pilots have little or no need for painkillers at all.

Rachel's handler wears a sized-down compacted version of the exoskeleton under his suit at all times, removed the auto-injector to be applied manually and replaced the beam shortblade with a hiltless nanosword, which is somewhat similar to Blind Horizon in terms of design but puts out a visible, self-sharpening blade.

Name : Dominion

Weapons : Adnan Phased Laser Cannon x6, Mjolnir Buster Howitzers x2 on arms (can be holstered to use hands), Kyuubi 4x3x3 Rocket Pods on back (Airburst HELIX, Sledgehammer), handheld Hailstorm Chaingun (firing AIS, Flak or Ball rounds), Cleave Beam halberd, Magnetically Hardened Shields

Description : Initially developed to optimise what limited highly-skilled ground troopers and IS-pilots the MDF had within their ranks, the Dominion pack is built to be compatible with both the ground exoskeletons and IS-es. Using the powerplant technology from the Magaru and 4th-gen IS, as well as incorporating various weapons from ISes such as Helena's Devastator and Rinin's Koryu, this highly destructive and modular addon was destructive beyond words. Unfortunately, the original unit and blueprints were stolen by a terrorist attack on a super-secret proving ground leaving all of the command staff dead, and multiple copies were made by the rogue IS organisation and sent across the world to terrorist group commanders.

The copies are not as well built as the original, thus there are a number of flaws such as exposed wires, front-only hardened shields, or completely lacking in the Hailstorm and Cleave. Nevertheless, even without these weapons, battlefield statistics still showed that these machines of war is still a force to be reckoned with.

Name : Cosmic Shroud Kai

Weapons : Moonfang Mod MKII Laser Boomerangs , MEISTER-A (Advanced), SP-P3 burst plasma pistol, Ultima-H Dual-Barreled Repeating Gun (DBRG 8x42mm), Halt wing binders, doubling as instantaneous airbrakes, nano-reloaders for MEISTER-A.

Description : The original Cosmic Shroud pack used by Rachel was so severely damaged that her handler had to take it back for proper disposal. Unbeknown to her, the Metro government and anyone else, it was secretly rebuilt.

The greatest flaw of the original Cosmic Shroud pack is its lack of weapons, limiting Rachel to using only Blind Horizon, the laser boomerangs and the problematic MEISTER. To address that issue, the upgraded MEISTER was requisitioned, as well as adding on the Ultima-H DBRG, the standard issue gauss GPMG used by the MDF, and both of which are programmed to the IS's systems to be entirely summonable. A 4-round-burst plasma pistol has also been added for intermediate ranged combat, and the Halt wing binders added onto the unit gives Rachel the ability to stop immediately in midair, at no matter what velocity she travels in, and allow for more unconventional maneuvers.

Moonfangs have also been repaired, and their design has been modified such that the boomerang fins are able to close together in midair and turn into direct trajectory slashing weapons, giving the pilot a more unpredictable edge during combat. However, Rachel can only use the Moonfangs when she is using the MEISTER as offensive, or with the Blind Horizon as melee defensive as she is not used to using them with other weapons, limiting many other tactical edges the entire system has to offer.
