Comments of chapter undefined of The Mech Touch

This is the dumbest thing to happen in The Mech Touch in thousands of chapters. Ves took so many losses. his allies have been exposed as fair Weather friends who will happily make back room deals and not even give him the courtesy of a heads up.

Ark is such a snake that it blows my mind. he has been back for 5 minutes and does this. Calabast needs to step down from her position. She is either incompetent or she is hiding things from Ves.

The logic behind why LC should move in this direction makes sense, but how Arc did this is so bad. Why take the help of an outsider? Sure, it helps the branch, but at the same time, it undermines the main clan and hurts it in the process.

Reading the comments actually changed my mind, lol. Yea, let the branch clan be independent in terms of government but control the finance. Discard the excess and lesser expert mech to focus on the ones that stayed. that way, when ves becomes a 1st class, he won't have to spend a lot of money to upgrade everyone to first-class mech only the clan fleet. this way, they can upgrade the quality of the fleet with larkisons who share ves vision. (Leave Gloriana at the branch too, so she can become an acceptable sacrifice if they lose the war. ) that last one is just a suggestion.

I still can’t see this as anything other than the beginning of Ves losing his position as patriarch. The amount of openings created when these fractures are being forced upon his alliance and clan in this manner are staggering.

Congrats to the author for getting people so invested in the characters, btw.

I guess I understand Exlor/Aurelia's argument here. Grow the side branches to ensure that they don't need the Larkinson clan fleet to come and pull then out of trouble. Adopt that branch strategy into the other areas of the RODG and Ves can exert some soft power to influence the governments if each system.

Just flip the dang table and not get bent over and screwed!

No matter what happens, this is an effective plot device. If the characters are developed well (like calabast getting fired or something) then it should shape up to be a very interesting arc. I'm kind of hoping karlac and the unrelenting pummel the state brutally to fuel Ves's confirmation bias. But I also want to eventually see a genius mech designer alone and estranged from his organization again.

Everyone going crazy, picking a side on this issue.....Meanwhile, I'm thinking Ves might've wasted a fortune in Merits on Raymond. Is Tusa's gramps still in charge of the Branch, or is it Ark now?? Because the latter means prolonging the geezer's life was ultimately pointless!!

This is also a good route to remove some of the more useless expert mechs. unfortunately the riot and the cman are both kind of pointless lately. Tho I wonder what the mechs are thinking about leaving their creator’s side. That being said, I don’t understand this talk about the fleet being “too big.” pretty sure every battle except for the one with the starship, they have wanted more mechs.

Melinda must be happy. 😁

Aurelia:

I think the Clan would be well served by putting branches in the LOWER zones as well. How many others in the clan have enough Merits to purchase "pioneer status" at the 3rd class level? And how many of those people have not been disqualified yet by acquiring "2nd Class citizenship"? After all - Ves's dp is utterly dominant at the 3rd Class level! It might be easier to gain premium spaces in Middle Zones if they are already dominant in the allied Lower Zone groups. And Splintering the Clan further by immediately setting up more Branches will allow Ves to give a diplomatic middle finger to Duvalt.

Gracias por el Capítulo!![img=update] Thanks for the Chapter!![img=update]

i like the idea of side branches and main branches while the main branch rises to a 1st class power the side branches will stay at 2nd class power MTA wont allow 1st class powers in the middle zones so i think what's gonna happen is side branches will be locked at a 2nd class power while the main fleet will eventually rise to 1st class power and whenever a side branch pilot wants to advance even further they are gonna have to join the main fleet

Another perspective on this is it might be the chance for the golden skull alliance to rid itself of the cross clan. Let’s be honest, their patriarch is a nightmare and will get them killed eventually.

Guys do you think that we ourselves have become Ves… I definitely agree this was left field but nothing to get this aggravated about

Ves just tore a page from his daughter's analysis, I think he'll be wiser from this experience!

There is only one thing of import on this split. Will Dise leave the fleet with Orfan? They have been set up as a duo but Dise is a monster hunter and pirate by heart while Orfan is a soldier. All else is just politics. Don't get me wrong, I love the politics but what I love more is some good old mech fighting.
