Orbiter is now my favorite AC design

I'm serious.

The 30mm toy just comes out and it just looks so good:

The mono-eye, the chunky arms and stuff, it's perfect, it's both cute and badass.
It's like if you make a Zaku II your main character mech.

Yeah, I love it too. It's charmingly simple and it's actually got decent stats too, for beating the campaign at least. On my third playthrough I used nothing but Orbiter parts until I beat Nightfall. After that I switched out for the Shade Eye head for extra coolness.

I kneel....

I still haven't beaten the game with just Orbiter.

I haven't been doing Full Orbiter, but honestly, I really love the chest piece. I've been running that for most of the game so far. It's a nice looking lightweight piece that I haven't really felt heldback by on my lightweight reverse joint build!

The part that drives me crazy about it is that while for the limbs and head the main draw is "minimal power drain", it is the plain vanilla "100, 100, less than 100" grade thrust and energy modifiers that make me yearn for the rest.

luckily. my latest ass backwards S rank mindset "Twin light laser rifles can't even one-shot an MT without a super EN damage generator, so ♥♥♥♥ it use a combustion engine with an energy penalty" works with 100% orbit boy setup. still enough room for the pile bunker and small missiles even if the damage drops by a LOT for not using good old knife elbow 2nd best melee arms.

Now, if I had to use the default generator, thrusters, and FCS on the other hand...

yeah just not in terms of performance.
