<Snipped quote by Mr Rage>

There's more to a battle than just raw numbers and OOC info. Think, for a second. Zim has been with the crew for a longer time, garnering some trust and has had experience fighting Cruxi before. He can gauge what they're capable of and tailor his kit to that, something that red's character can't do without breaking character. And even if we do look at raw numbers, Zim's total (167%) is higher than red's total (141%).

Also, if Zim would have trouble with equipment, how would Krista feel? It's her first real battle with little experience and using foreign equipment, on an infiltration mission which is already harder than normal.

If we're talking about strategy, your argument doesn't hold up. Just be honest and say 'I want it, but if someone else wants it I don't want it' instead of flimsily trying to veil it behind strategy, because honestly Zim *is* the best choice for an assault pack, alongside Sigma.

Rule of fun, people. Overthinking things doesn't lead to anywhere, I think I proved this with firing off Atty's core at Rostosov's remains and creating a big, dumb explosion.

Rule of fun is important, gonna have to agree. 


Also Big, dumb explosions are great.
