My bad for not clarifying, what I meant is that there shouldn't be a boom in popularity for the Blackbeak because of the information blackout. The boom in demand is due to the Blackbeak's performance on the Glowing Planet, information about which should not be spreading at this point.

What starts with a C and moved to the Ylvaine Protectorate?

The reason why this isn't a issue is because he MTA regulates the sale of licenses and titles for mech designs. Companies cannot set the prices for either, which protects the rights of the designer. That's why it was such a big deal they put a price tag of 5 billion on the license. Now Ves or another designer could make a design and sell it to another entity before submitting it to the MTA, but that's a different issue entirely.

The issue is that Ves has no real incentive to drive him to get said combat training or to be forced into it. Circumstances like this are supposed to be few and far between for mech designers, if they happen at all. It's more effective for Ves to hire guards, he just can't at the moment due to temporarily being part of the military.

It's not like he'll go into the vault and eat the CFA stuff Ves worked so hard for or anything, right?

If I had to guess, it's likely something related to spirituality. It's previously been explained that Clones lack something, likely spirituality and/or sentience, and it wouldn't be surprising to find out that such a thing extends to early development genetic alteration. It might also work akin to certain theories in physics where observing something can either change or limit its potential outcomes.

Not actually eugenics, seeing as she came from a poor family that wouldn't be able to influence her genes even if they wanted to.

The Irish accent strikes again!

I think the original comment was sarcastic in nature.

I think you're missing the point here. Ves isn't being petty here, he's being professional. Ves should not forgive the insults directed at him, given the scope of them, however he is willing to not let them impact his future professional dealings with Morgan. You can personally not like someone but still work with them.

This guy should honestly just be replaced at this point. If you're not going to do your job during wartime, you shouldn't have that job.

Just spend the 500 dp, anything is better than incompetent

"I'll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die!"

Oh gods, I'm rereading to catch up after a while, and I'm dreading that.

I'm kinda thinking of something like Jhin's gun, and him adding parts to make it a sniper rifle.

Why are people judging you? Because you won the lottery and are flushing it down the toilet. Anyone in the Larkinson family that judges you does so because they know how lucky you are to be a potentate, and you essentially are spitting on their dreams that the majority of them will never be able to accomplish.

This should not even be an issue due to the information restriction on the Glowing Planet. Newly arriving forces have no information about current events, and neither should the LMC.

This is great and all, but for one problem. To our knowledge, only military forces have a quantum entanglement node active, not even larger forces like the Blood Claws have access to them, let alone the smaller outfits that actually are using the Blackbeaks. This information should not spread or have an impact on the LMC until after the events of the Glowing Planet have concluded.

Wouldn't concussive weapons be largely ineffective in open space? There would be no medium for a concussive wave to travel through, and any force from the weapon itself would quickly dissipate as it fills the vacuum.
