    This right here makes me sad that I only have only like to give. Seriously we should demand the change at this point.

    As much as i agree on that Zhencha should get shock immunity i kinda disagree that we can consider all those ariadna HI "technical superior" if they have only shock immunity and not NWI in comparison to only NWI.

    I don’t think that’s his point. His point seems to me that Shock Immunity up until this point have been just as an integral and defining feature of the HI label, as being vulnerable to E/M, in fact it’s more consistent than the Hackable Trait, 2W or 4-4 MOV.

    I still kinda doubt we would be happy with Zhencha loosing NWI and getting shock immunity even if he is more definable as an HI then. I just don't agree with arguing with fluff on this.

    And to be honest CB kinda killed the entire labels on LI, MI and HI with the Yadu anyway. I think it is a shame that those labels are now more or less completely arbitrary.

    To be perfectly honest, we don't need to be happy with a unit, merely find it acceptable.

    Infinity's structure doesn't really allow for units that people are unhappy with. Those units are dead weight SKUs.

    Zhencha are not Shock Immune because the JSA stole it during the uprising and dropped it in the Sea of Japan.

    I don't see how this matters to what i said. I can easily rephrase.

    I'm still all for shock immunity and NWI on his profile simply to make him better. But for gameplay reasons.

    Sorry, I missed a vital part of your text.

    No one is asking for the Zhencha to lose NWI. Stop it.

    You afraid i give CB ideas? :scream:

    That's why i say listing non-NWI ariadna HI and claim it is technological superior to the Zhencha fluff-wise is weird. That's like all i'm saying nothing more.

    That's one unit not a list of all Ariadna HI. I can easily call out the Hac Tao to prove Yu-Jings technological superiority if one profile is enough.

    Strictly speaking, NWI is a skill born from courage and a refusal to give up, not technology. This means that the Zhencha's armour versus a Moblot's or a Vet Kazak has three important divergent factors: Ariadna tech offers better protection against common bullets, Ariadna tech offers better protection against hacking, and Ariadna tech offers no military grade ABC protection.
    Looking at the tech and the fact that Yu Jing absolutely has access to Ariadnan production techniques, it begs the question why they even put quantronic circuits in the Zhencha's armour

    Clearly our power armour is made in china, that's the problem.

    Sun's never given a shit about shock, he's Total Immunity.

    Once again the so-called technological superiority of Yu Jing is not represented in game design. I wonder if the designers really care about the background when they creat the profiles… Our armour have nothing superior to other armies (which often do better)!

    We have to resign: we are not better than others, it does not mean that we are worse, but it remains disappointing. It allows us to remember that we are the eternal second :confused:

    Question for the profile-pedias out there... how many infiltrating, camo marker specialists are there in the game?

    I can think of the Daofei hacker, but who else?

    In this case, the technological superiority is not in the individual suits, but that Yu Jing can field armies of HI in the way that PanO can field armies of Fusiliers.

    For real?
    Nomads:
    Zero, Brando, Bandit, Prowler
    CA:
    Shrouded
    Ariadna:
    Uxia, Chasseur, SAS, Scouts, Foxtrot
    YJ:
    Guilang
    Aleph:
    Naga

    AAAAND I probably forgot about few.
    There are also close to infiltration units like FD1/2 and stuff.

    There is even more cheap TO infiltrating specialists, but that wasnt a question I guess?

    Godammit, I meant to add Shock Immune to that list. But, it was a genuine question....
