I feel like Janzzi actually has a point about expert mechs being able to bend common rules... imagine her making a black hole attack which draws everyone to her. Ves is too used to cutting corners and putting the trash under the rug, he just gets it to a mediocre level and then depends glows to actually design his stuff... No need to be like Gloriana, but shouldn't he actually be trying to make it good instead of just passable? Where is that "Dare to Design" stuff he once said?
Ves can be really stubborn and short sighted when it comes to his preferences. Jannzi defensive bias would please plenty of military intelligence and deciders. It's just that Ves prefers jumping into the action rather than letting it comes to him. It's not his first choice it doesn't mean the rest of the Larkinson wouldn't be please to see at least one expert pilot focusing on defense.
