The Scotara Armor's so-called luck factor generated a lot of controversy.
Many mech designers and laymen found its value to be questionable.
Why couldn't the mech designers of the Swarm Project include a proper defensive specialist and design more robust armor systems?
Although Jovy Armalon definitely shouldn't be a weak mech designer due to his origins and his participation in the Swarm Project, that did not necessarily mean he was the best man for the job!
Jovy could have explained himself more, but he declined to do so for whatever reason. Instead, he calmly completed his obligatory presentation about the Scotara Armor before addressing a few other aspects of the Yellow Jacket designs.
He briefly explained the performance characteristics of the flight systems of all three versions of the Yellow Jackets. The persistent goal was to make all three Carmine mechs fairly fast and maneuverable, and the flight systems successfully met this standard for every tech level.
