I want to talk about the arena placements in AC6
I like to overthink things in video games, and I've been going through the arena with my ACs to see how far they can get before they get killed, and it's really making me wonder about where certain characters rank. For example, Pater ranks extremely high compared to Maeterlinck and Swinburne, both sitting in rank E, while Hawkins sits in rank D.
Most of the Redguns are low ranking pilots, which makes sense. Most of them are criminals they shoved in the cockpit to serve their time and pay off debts. Except Red, who seems to just be a shit pilot, probably from being the inexperienced Redgun who has to watch over the independents they hire.
The RLF have two pilots that rank above D, not counting Rusty, that being Flatwell and Dolmayan, Dolmayan I find to be especially interesting considering that he is ranked 4/A, I imagine he would have had to fight Snail and Chartreuse to get to that spot while running basically the same equipment as the rest of the RLF
Independents and RaD are all over the place, which makes sense, Dosers don't make exceptional pilots and Independents have a variety of skill (Nosaac is a punk ass bitch and he knows it)
I just think it's really interesting to think about
