The next-gen ones are for those that don't want to go through the process of making a machine, but still want to be competitive with player made machines.

Yes, you can optimize a Fafnir, trick it out how you like within reason.

Hm? Wouldn't "Modifying" and "Tricking out" A Fanfir pretty much be going through the process of making a machine, but getting to use the upgraded chassis?

Why can't I have a chassis with the extra Core(s) again? Five power goes a long way in this system, I'm trying to create a mech suited to my tastes but unfortunately the creativity is heavily limited by a system of points.[/s]

Actually, scratch all that. I've lost interest in this.
