The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4450

The starfighters utilized by the different alien pirate forces had a long history of development.

Even though the Red Ocean was home to countless alien races, many of which had risen and fallen over many eras, many of the more technology-oriented ones often came to adopt at least some variation of starfighters and warships.

Just like how humanity stole much of the technological accumulation of the alien races it came into contact with, many of the indigenous civilizations of the Red Ocean had done the same with their own neighbors.

This caused the level of starfighters in the Red Ocean to always grow and advance over time.

There were periods of time where the development of starfighters bloomed due to their affordability and cost-effective performance against warships.

Though the progression of technology in the Red Ocean had eventually swung the pendulum back on the side of warships and other large craft, that did not mean that all of the research and development poured into starfighters had become obsolete.

Humanity managed to turn mechs from a relatively weak, clumsy and impractical machine into a strong, fluid and endlessly versatile combat platform!

In the same way, the evolving galactic society of the Red Ocean had lifted the level of their starfighters to a height that surpassed humanity's own development of small craft before the Age of Mechs!

Ves began to respect starfighters more and more as the battle raged on. The different varieties of starfighters, some of which did not perform that much worse than mechs at the same cost.

However, there was a reason why most of humanity completely switched over to using mechs after the arrival of the Age of Mechs.

Despite all of the complications associated with mechs such as the need for a pilot that possessed the right genetic aptitude to interface with them, the results were more than worth the additional burdens!

As the Flagrant Vandal mechs easily matched the pace of the faster enemy starfighters, the latter could no longer take unscrupulous advantage of their greater mobility.

Even if the Ferocious Piranha Mark III's and Stingripper Mark II's were not as heavily armed and armored as their larger counterparts, they still possessed enough power to contend against most elite starfighters!

As soon as a squad of Ferocious Piranha Mark III's cleverly flanked a wing of elite starfighters from two directions, many of the alien pilots who ordinarily exhibited great skill and consciousness in battle abruptly screamed and lost control over their craft!

The alien pilots who had the right to pilot the most expensive and powerful shielded starfighters were truly strong in their own field.

They understood their craft well and they had polished their combat skills over many years.

Years of engaging in piracy and participating in scuffles against other pirate forces had increased their ability to cope with pressure.

However, none of their prior experiences could ever have prepared them to fight against the living mechs of the Larkinson Clan! _{freēwēbnovel.com}

The infamous Ferocious Piranha line that had already turned into a bestseller of the LMC possessed a feature that confounded many enemies, especially when they had no idea what they were facing in advance.

The dual alternating suppressive glows of both Lufa and Zeigra graced the minds of the different alien pirates for the first time!

Several varieties of alien screams and other signals of distress filled the cockpits of the affected starfighters!

Their proud transphasic energy shields which could block nearly any kind of physical or energy attack had no means to repel the glows of living mechs in the slightest!

The twin glows of the Ferocious Piranha's encountered no blockades and subjected the unshielded minds of sentient alien pilots with the abnormal calm of Lufa before switching to the the searing hot rage of Zeigra and back again!

The various wings of starfighters fell apart as the uncontrolled craft wandered off in different directions.

The lack of coordination and control made them easy pickings for the same light mechs that caused their pilots to become incapacitated in the first place.

Though the transphasic energy shields were difficult to break for the dagger-wielding Ferocious Piranhas, as long as the alien starfighter pilots remained affected by the same glows, their craft turned into sitting ducks that could hardly fight back!

Soon enough, the Ferocious Piranhas managed to strike the energy shields enough times to exhaust them. Nothing could stop the light mechs from closing in and tearing into the exposed starfighters with ease!

No matter what alloys the starfighters were made out of, their resilience was significantly worse that the energy shields they used to possess.

Over a hundred elite starfighters and their pilots perished in quick succession!

The other elite starfighters did not have it easy either. Those that had managed to avoid getting targeted by the Ferocious Piranhas began to tussle with the other signature combat mech of the Flagrant Vandals.

The Stingripper Mark II's were even faster and lighter than the Ferocious Piranhas and were armed with luminar crystal submachine guns.

Normally, these small and light energy weapons shouldn't have been strong enough to pose a major threat against the elite starfighters.

After all, their energy shields were all transphasic in nature, which meant their ability to resist attacks that weren't empowered by phasewater was several times greater!

However, the pilots of the Stingrippers had a lot of confidence in their weapons.

"Switch to disruptor beams and focus on wearing down their energy shields. Let us teach these aliens that their much-vaunted defenses are nothing in the face of our tech!"

The submachine guns wielded by the Stingrippers could only accommodate three attack phase crystals as opposed to the six that were customary to more full-sized rifles.

Still, three crystals offered the light harasser mechs with plenty of choice. The disruptor beam attack phase crystal always worked well against energy-based defenses.

Though the elite starfighters held out a lot longer due to their incorporation of indigenous phasewater technology, the constant rain of disruptor beams steadily took their toll on the transphasic energy shields.

"They've grown angry at us! Don't get hit!"
