Although Xiao Ran had not participated in the battle, he had watched nearly every pilot in the Victory Fleet from the rear. For units like EVA, facing an enormous cluster of warships at such distances in space, the weapons they could employ seemed far too inadequate. Even though they could use AT Fields to aid their movement in space, their speed and maneuverability truly could not compare to ordinary units genuinely suited for space combat. At a time like this, they could mostly only serve as barriers ahead of the fleet's advance.
Although Titans, Sanbot, and the Brave Express Team had been enhanced, like EVA, their attack range was too short at warship engagement distances. Their movement speed was not fast enough to bring out their true combat strength. They could only remain close beside the fleet and defend it, utterly lacking the ability to strike the enemy fleet from extreme range.
However, Xiao Ran also knew that these units were never suited to this kind of long-range artillery duel between warships. They were the kind of units meant to clash head-on, trading blow for blow. The heart of the enemy formation was where they were most suited to fight, and only there could they unleash their full destructive potential. But giving such units long-range enhancements would be fundamentally meaningless. Still, in Xiao Ran's view, they could be fitted with some supplementary systems.
For example, units such as Sanbot, Titans, and Brave Express could be equipped with a kind of shield, one that could be strengthened and activated through the units themselves. When facing a situation like this, they could use those shields to protect the warships, or even serve as the spearhead for a Mobile Unit's assault. At such ranges and under such circumstances, those units were not especially
