After all, you would never know exactly what you are up against with your mundane skills of perception as a squishy pilot. You are better off playing the strongest cards available to technology in the first place.

The missile suits are kind of a one trick pony.


Sometimes all you need is one trick.



For the one trick pony's better hope your one trick can do the job then otherwise some one might be gettin eaten in a hurry ..

If were considering every suit of Samas in North America ..
One I did not see was the ...
Arch HPA-1 "Firebrand"
Its overall better then even the Super Samas ... can achieve near mach 1 speeds .. and has a Telepathy extender that can help the use of telepathy by boosting its range by up to 500 miles ... its seriously one nasty piece of work ...

I've always thought it was silly to have penalties for a gun that isn't any better than your average handheld pulse rifle.

In Spirit West there they present the "origional" SAMAS stats for the first time it indicates that the CS uses a smaller calliber/less powerful version of the same gun to reduce supply costs.
