Well. Doing this isn't something I'm going to like, but considering I kept my mouth shut the last few times and it turned out very poorly, I'm going to raise some criticisms. Whether they'll be constructive or not, remains to be seen.
First and foremost, the stats on this power armor are excessive. To say that I greatly dislike the current Damage Rating system is a huge understatement, but for the time being, it's all we have, and we should at least try and respect it. The shields and armor of this particular suit are far more than those of all pre-existing designs, the
Aggressor included. This suit is at least 8 feet tall, depending on the pilot, but it has shields and armor rated at 20? The Aggressor has 18 shields and 18 hull, and that one is 13 feet tall.
THIRTEEN. That's a five foot difference between the two. Then, there's the weapons that it's mounted with. Both its over-the-shoulder cannons are ADR 5 individually, adding to a handheld weapon that's also ADR 5. To put that into perspective, it's typically very rare to have ADR 5 weapons on a PA. In the cases that PA do have them, it's either an Aether Beam-Saber Rifle, or something hazardous like Antimatter Shells - just like the ones the Aggressor uses. Most of the time, it's tanks, fighters and frames that mount ADR 5 weapons so easily, and in any number beyond just one.
Second, why wasn't the Aggressor modified instead? Or if the Hostile got an upgunned variant to it? Both of those options seem to make far more sense than this does, since it not only uses pre-existing resources, but simplifies supply line issues. Not only that, but those two articles could use a bit of love too - the time that was spent on this could have been spent on updating those two. They've formed the backbone of Nepleslia's military for quite some time, and it doesn't make sense for something entirely new to be developed when a preexisting platform can easily be made to do the same job.
Third, is quite frankly my own subjective opinion. I really wish I could have said something far sooner, before the artwork was complete, but after what happened before, it's better I say something now than say something about it far later down the line. I honestly don't like the artwork. In comparison to what we've had before, designs that look rough and gritty, this looks like something out of Gundam. This one is bright and flashy, with glowing neon lights. To me, it doesn't seem to be consistent with the lore. Hell, it even looks like a Zaku that got upgraded with more weapons and an NT-D like the Unicorn series of Gundams.
