[quote=@Zero Hex] Nah, the beams are straight like normal. It's the emitters, the guns themselves, that are mounted on swivel joints so they have a range of motion, allowing them to track targets and "drag" the beams across areas without the machine itself moving. Also Except this contradicts the show? Lucas Nemesis was a top tier player and the limited energy rule was what made sure he couldn't just run rampant with his Crossbone Full Cloth going super fast, using a bunch extremely powerful weapons and having two i-field emitters to boot. Which is kind of what pretty much every unit here does, btw. His entire strategy had to take the limitations into account and use his teammates as resupply depots, and he essentially lost because he hinged his bets on being able to blitz a team before gassing out and couldn't pull through. I mean, I understand that we're not using it because enforcing a reasonable level of particle drain and limitation would be a pain in the ass without a properly defined system. That's fine. But still, I feel this is trying to justify the change by actually contradicting the canon material rather than just saying something simple and workable like "yeah there's gonna be an old rules league and we're prepping you for that ahead of other people, feel privileged kids". [/quote] to be fair on that part it was only there for one episode we are not trying to contradict cannon plus it really wont matter much in the end since this is considered more of a AU so something like that will just have to be dealt with.
