Well, I like it, stat wise, just a few spelling errors is all I see.  And I dunno, I think it'd be better to call it the IFS implant rather than the nanomachine implant, but that's just me. |

In the Nadesico manga, IFS gets phased out by something a lot more uber.  |

Well, we really shouldn't go by anything in the manga. If we can't have the manga's units, then why should we have their system?  *coughGIVEMETHEEXABYTEcough* |

... the Exabyte is basically an 0G frame with like... a better IFS. Which, in this book I have in my hand, is apparently called the "Maverick Electron React System," and was pioneered by the Asuka Industrial... and stuff.

Does it require an implant to activate?

It's an upgraded IFS, basically.

...That doesn't answer my question. |

Yes it does. What's an IFS, and how is it applied? And now, if this is an upgraded IFS, how would it be any differen, aside from being a bit more efficient?

Why the hell do Antibodies get a Martian Successor ability?
Bunshin may mean mostly the same thing to both of them, but really, there's no reason for them to have that ability for both of them, unless you can give a persuasive rationale. Besides, this is a discussion about the pilot class...
Martian Successor!
Not Antibody.

The specific basis for this A-Class Jumper ability is Akito's ability in MX that lets him move to any square in his movement range as if there are no obstructions or terrain effects.

The stats are fine, but I am wondering about the ability to CC as though the unit is 1 size larger. What is the basis for that ability?

IFS works more smoothly in small units (by the series), so using it MSes should be countercutting at least as well in S mechs as M. The particular implementation was somewhat arbitrary.

The specific basis for this A-Class Jumper ability is Akito's ability in MX that lets him move to any square in his movement range as if there are no obstructions or terrain effects. In @2, the Antibodies also have this ability, but maybe we can have it connected to the unit instead, like when Vital jump kicks in, they gain this ability as well. Unlike Akito, who can practically jump without a unit, the Antibodies need the unit i think. Other than that the stats look ok, other than the lieutenant wth countershot thing, which i find confusing. Does this mean they gain CS when thye hit LT? how about the other ranks? what bonus do they get? |
