Ace Custom: Difference between revisions

An ace custom 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 ace custom will usually be significantly more powerful than a standard model.

Normally, ace customs 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.
