Quick, drive this 'Mech I named after Satan!


I'd just like to say that I cannot imagine a single way piloting a mech named after a demon could go wrong.

OmniMechs are designed to be easily customized, their computers will adapt to whatever weapons or equipment are installed. An OmniMech can have its loadout swapped to one that better fits its mission in the span of about 16 hours, and converting one is extremely cheap. This comes at a minor cost: any equipment part of the "base" (empty) loadout, like the engine size, whether or not the 'Mech carries endo steel structure or ferro-fibrous armor, and occasionally extra equipment like heat sinks, MASC, or the Summoner's Jump Jets can't be removed after the fact without rendering the 'Mech a non-Omni.

It can take weeks or months to customize a non-OmniMech, and doing so incorrectly can lead to crippling balance problems.

I suppose that would make most mechs in Gundam qualify as omnis, then? (Hell, some of them change loadout in the middle of a fight.)

Huh. I get the value, but I always assumed from the name there was something a little flashier. Well. Interesting to know.
