In case Ves is still thinking, MTA points is a currency that get exchanged around for cash. it's about time this ridiculous 200k people who produces nothing start making something. What do they do? man the ships? Guard a potted plant?
He also needs a way for those reserve pilots to practice WITH the glows in a limited space. The entire point is that they won't build the mechs until they really need them. But that means those low aptitude pilots will get tossed into desperate situations with far less training then required. Normal simulation pods have a very weak version of Ves's glows in his virtual mechs... but it IS there. What if he built the sim pods himself?
I dont know. I hope that they manage to recruit enough people to have reserves without bothering the old Larkinsons who already did their duty. Maybe the Dwarves will help their old friend Vulcan out and give Ves a surplus of engineers and mech pilots. If he didn't have a choice, I would not mind if Ves sets up some kind of mech that can act as shield or guardian mech that can act as cover for the older Larkinson pilots so at least the way he is not just sending them to die as cannon fodder.
