4575 Meeting Demand vs Creating Demand

From what Ves could determine, the Samurai Project did not appear to be a game changer.

Its addition to the Larkinson Army's mech roster would not spark a revolution or a comprehensive boost in combat effectiveness.

It mostly added more choice to the Larkinson mech pilots while also giving them the option to embrace a different style of mech combat.

Ves actually thought favorably of the Samurai Project. Its stormblade technology added more variety to melee mechs and allowed them to inflict at least partial energy damage.

The enhanced effectiveness of stormblade weapons against energy shields was also particularly useful in the Red Ocean. The native alien warships generally relied on transphasic energy shields to mitigate large amounts of damage, so anything that gave his mechs an edge against this powerful protection was good news in his eyes.
