Ace Custom: Difference between revisions

An ace[[Ace customCustom]] is a piece of technology—a [[Humongous Mecha]], [[Space Fighter]], a [[Weapon of Choice|particular weapon]], or something similar—that differs from the normal model due to being tweaked in order to better fit its user. Said users are typically [[Ace Pilot]]s, and their equipment is customized to their specifications—thus, ace custom. The extensiveness of this customization varies widely, from simply giving it a [[Distinctive Appearances|new paint job]] to actually having a completely unique machine built from scratch. Closely related to the [[Super Prototype]], an aceAce customCustom will usually be significantly more powerful than a standard model.

Normally, aceAce customsCustoms reflect their user's combat style—a pilot preferring [[Fragile Speedster|high-speed combat]] will boost their engine output, a [[The Gunslinger|gunslinger]] with [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] will add [[Gun Accessories|scopes and bipods]] for increased accuracy, etc. This may allow them to be [[Weak but Skilled]], if their equipment doesn't has as much raw power as their opponent's, but it's so tuned to their strengths that they can compete anyway.

* [[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'s own Maximillion Weissman had his own custom version of a Baneblade built. Functionally however it was near-identical to a normal baneblade, except for Weissman's superior crew which gave it slightly superior stats. Commissar Yarrick also has his own version of the Baneblade, the Fortress of Arrogance, which does have more noticable modification. It was presented to him as a gift from the Adeptus Mechanicus.

** Tau Commander Farsight has his own Battlesuit customized with the unique Dawnblade he found, subsequently making him the only tau unit dangerously competent in close combat, which suited his bloodthirsty tendencies.
