just spitballing (i am far too sleepy to put real thought behind this right now) but is the best possible Big Fist mech Empakaii with a supermassive D/D288 thrown on? idk if my math works there but 2 blackbeard/1 caliban/3 zheng delivers doesn’t it? save me vex lancerfunny

No, the best possible Big Fist mech is not a D/D 288 Empakaii. At that point it's absurdly overspecialised. There is literally no way you can use both Superheavy weapons in a single turn unless you're using the D/D288 in its uncharged Skirmish mode, in which case it's literally just a strictly worse Nanocarbon Sword.

The Empakaii already has a huge fist that has absurd reach. Putting the D/D 288 on it just robs it of any other tactical option than "get very close and punch," which is sometimes just not viable. You should always be running at least one ranged weapon even on melee-focused mechs. The Assault Rifle's a good choice for this, but at the bare minimum you should have something that can hit targets 8 spaces away.

Robot rating game: IPS-N Zheng and IPS-N Empakaii from LANCER RPG

The Robot Body Scale ranges from 1 to 10 and reflects how happy I, Zoey Gauntletqueen, would be for a robot body to be my body. 5 is the base, being the same as my current human body. It does not reflect my opinion on the design as a whole.

The poblem with mechs is that they need to be piloted. That means if their body was my body, under most circumstances, I wouldn't be able to do anything unless I was being Ratatouille'd. Mechs get a 0 unless special conditions apply.

Like most mechs, this thing's big. That's cool! It's a real rugged functional machine, humanoid in shape and the back of its right hand kinda looks like a skull. Neat! The lack of a head is a little bit of a shame, how will I express interest and confusion by cocking my head to the side? It also has a MASSIVE BIG PUNCH which FUCKS

0 (7.7 if not for the pilot requirement)

OH DAMN this thing has FOUR ARMS one of which is REAL BIG It's a giant robot, it's got a medieval armor theme going on, this shit RULES FUCK YEAH. It's crackling with energy, it looks sick as fuck. The helmet head is also nice, fits the aesthetic while still looking robotic. It does have more masculine of a feel than I'd like, but that might just be because of the pilot in the bottom right. Speaking of which,

0 (7.9 if not for the pilot requirement)
