Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mobile suit classes

Tank:
The tank is a heavily armored and physically powerful Unit capable of withstanding tremendous damages and is most typically equipped with long range weapons and few melee. While the Tank is incredibly well defended, any armor can only take so much damage, and so even the more powerful attacks and enough hits can cause it to fail, putting the pilot at great risk. Tanks are very slow unless equipped with a large number of boosters, however in these situations, weapons are at a minimum.

Scout:
The Scout is very lightweight, to the point it lacks any real defensive and scant offensive. More of a diversion or perhaps a hit-and-run Unit, the Scouts speed and stealth capabilities make it great for acquiring information on enemy troops, making deliveries, or escorting VIP's.

Archer:
The archer is known for it's use of long range weaponry. IT is most commonly equipped with one or two Rifles and a Launcher of some sort, as well as minimal melee weaponry for emergency situations. Built for the premise of baraging the enemy with ammunition, keeping them at a distance or even defending vunlerable allies/ships, The Archer is not meant for active, front line battle.

Warrior:
The Warrior Class is the Soldier. Equipped with minimal Ammunition and substantial melee weaponry, the Warrior is most commonly used on the front lines of battle dealing out tremendous damages to larger crowds of opponents rather than engaging in one on one combat. While defenses and agility are not nil, they are minimal compared to the tremendous strength and melee prowess the Unit weilds as it's primary weapon.

Balanced:
The Balanced Class has the best of all Variants. Every attribute is equally balanced giving it moderate skill in most situations. These are most commonly given to every Pilot, especially the foot-soldiers as to avoid production of mass numbers of custom units.

Firestorm:
These are usually not practical enough to use in actual combat, however there are classes of Mechs/Mobile Suits which fall into this category. Firestorm Units carry no melee weaponry, and moderate armor and only moderate agility, while focusing entirely on long range weaponry and launcher weapons. These units are often stationary, a defensive through offensive attacks and are used to keep friendly space clear of enemy Units.
