Video
[The video opens with very excited Quatre, quite clearly trying to keep from bouncing excitedly]

Fellow passengers of the train, good morning! I made a request for an item and I wasn't actually sure if I'd get it or what it would be if I did, but...

[And he shows off what arrived for him... which just basically looks like a large box]

It is mobile suit cockpit simulator! So it's like piloting a mobile suit without actually piloting one!

[He very briefly showed off the inside of it, which looked like a cockpit]

Once I get it to the games carriage, I'm going to take a look at the options already programmed and add as many as I remember. It'll be available for anyone to try out. Also if you have one that would be piloted like that, I can try to add yours.

Action
Quatre can either be found in the luggage carriage, trying to figure out to move this very large object... or he can be found in the games carriage once it has been moved, checking what has already been programmed into the system.

If it functions anything like the flight simulator, it should be simple to order additional modules.

[She peers in, assessing the control schemes]

Ple Two's told me about the space ones, I hadn't heard about the others.

[It makes sense that they would exist though]

[gundamofthedesert]

That is true. I should also be able to add them as well. Just might take some time to figure out how it is input for the other things.

[He was really the person who would figure it out]

I don't if it is the same in her world. OZ made a lot of them, many that were good at one thing for the most part. Cancer and Pisces were mobile suits deployed in the water and their design made them impractical for land. Likewise, Leo wouldn't do as well underwater and Aries was primarily their air-based mobile suit. There were more... but just examples. They did eventually start mass-producing ones capable of fighting in space.

I'd be happy to let you look at how it's implemented on the either system.

From what I've heard, space would be more applicable.

[She's not buying any of this tech as practical for ground combat]

[gundamofthedesert]

I guess we were late in space combat. Most of our early combat took place on Earth against other crafts that couldn't go into space either. I suppose that is good. You have a better chance of survival in a fight in a place where there is atmosphere than not.

[Clearly, he found that aspect of it more appealing. If one had to fight, your enemies might have had a slim chance of survival... except for the fact the mobile suits tended to explode...]

But then OZ took to the fight to colonies and started building their suits to function in space so all of ours had to be rebuilt to also work in space. Not to mention the other groups that also jumped on the idea of space warfare for their own gain.
