I am aware of the V-Ups' factor influencing the GM Sniper's Snipe ability, seeing how GMs can contain up to 3 Item Slots. Also, I based Zaku III's price off the RX-78-2 Gundam, but of course the Gundam is more useful. Cable Wrench is something like Shiro's gimmick while fighting Aina in her Zaku II High Mobility Type. What do you guys think?

[Teniquette Zezernan]

Hmmm... wouldn't that make the Ball the RB-79K, instead of the RB-79? BTW, it's "winch," not "wrench."

Instead of paying 2 PCs for Snipe, how 'bout 5 PCs? That can balance everything out.

As for the Zaku III... that thing's got some mighty bad breath. I-Field-flavored breath mint, anyone?

[Freyia]

1. DC +10 for 2 PCs is too 'good'. Maybe 3 PCs for +5 DC.
2. Zaku III: Isn't that Beam Cannon a Spread type, like the Dom?

[Beanoverse]

Hmm, the first Ball doesn't have Cable Winch? If so, then we'll remove that weapon from Ball and leave it for the Ball Kai (if I'm not wrong).

Gundam Sentinel has an advanced computer, that's why one of its Beam weapon is DC +5. Sniping should be a totally different situation, it should be high accuracy, like DC +7 and above.

I'd say 5 PCs is fair enough for that Snipe ability. Neither Zaku III or Mashmar's had an I-Field. Not sure about its Beam Cannon being spread type, but it should mention Spread Beam Cannon if it is S-Type.

[Teniquette Zezernan]

LOL... no no no, Beano, you don't get what I mean. When I said, "I-Field flavored breath mint," I meant that... well, you'll understand in due time. But what the hell, I'll explain the joke here.

When you have bad breath, you take a breath mint, right? And I-Fields are supposed to stop Beam weaponry cold, right? Thus, I-Field flavored breath mint = stops Mouth Beam Cannon (bad breath) cold.

[Beanoverse]

Oh, the Mouth Beam Gun, I was confused earlier there. Heh heh... XD

Anyway, I chose 3 SimChambers to get GM Sniper Custom because of GM Sniper's initial value (unless that guy has loads o' V-Ups). Also, please check if the PC prices are okay. ^^
