First, lemme correct something I was unclear about: I'm planning four one-on-one matches, not one big dogpile.
Second, aside from its anti-beam coating, the Achilles is a fairly standard warrior-type mobile suit, if a very capable one. I'm trying to keep in mind that these Gundams are experimental designs, intended to test systems and concepts at the very fringe of the cutting edge. The Achilles isn't about the question, 'How well can we defend?', it's, 'How well does this coating work on a full mobile suit?'
The answer is, 'Very, but not cost-effectively,' by the by.
Just like the Providence is asking, 'Is there anything in this flying turret gig?'
I did/do have an idea for one based around, 'How big a gun can we hang off of a mobile suit, anyway?', but I decided that it probably wouldn't be good enough vs. other mobile suits to suit my purposes. So it's Lacus's problem.
Ja, -n
