In the Universal Century timeline, the phrase 'Mobile SUIT' (MS in short) is an acronym for Mobile Space Utility Instrumental Tactical. The latter is most common in teams with high-performance units and experienced pilots. a close-combat unit type and a fire support unit type). Typically teams are homogeneous, consisting of a single unit type, but may sometimes be composed of complimenting unit types (e.g. Working in groups, they are often organized into teams consisting of three to five units, though larger formations in major battles are not unknown. Mobile suits are typically deployed in a fashion similar to modern-day tanks or aircraft. Though the exact development process behind the creation of mobile suits varies by timeline, they are generally used for their versatility, with many models being usable in a wide variety of environments from inside space colonies to open space, across all parts of Earth, and even occasionally underwater or in mid-air.

Different terms exist to differentiate mobile suits from ordinary space suits used to protect individuals in vacuum for example, Universal Century makes reference to 'normal suits' or 'pilot suits', while After Colony uses the term 'astrosuit'. The name 'mobile suit' is believed to be a combination of the terms 'Mobile Infantry' and 'powered armor suit' from the Robert A. However, exceptions are not uncommon units that are much larger or slightly smaller are not unheard of, and occasionally the cockpit is located in the head or (in semi-rare cases) the crotch, as well. Typically speaking, a mobile suit is approximately 60 feet in height, with a cockpit located in the unit's torso. They are humanoid combat vehicles, typically employing two arms to deploy weapons, two legs for propulsion, and a head that acts as a main camera and sometimes houses a secondary weapon that acts as a rotating turret (with the head itself providing the rotation). Mobile Suits ( MS) are the most popular and most numerous type of mobile weapon. This is so advanced, you should consider it totally different. Wasn't there a construction machine called a Mobile Worker? The most popular mobile pod is the RB-79 Ball from the Universal Century timeline, appearing primarily in the original Mobile Suit Gundam. Mobile pods typically have poor performance compared to other mobile weapons, but occasionally see use due to the fact that they tend to be cheap and easily constructed. The mobile pod is the predecessor of the mobile suit, simpler machines consisting of a main body frame, usually spherical, with attached manipulator hands and a number of thrusters along the body. Note: there are others, however, that do not conform fully to one of these categories. Most mobile weapons fall under one of four categories: Mobile Pods, the most simplistic type of mobile weapon Mobile Suits (MS), the more popular and iconic type of mobile weapon Mobile Armors (MA), larger non-human counterparts to mobile suits and Transformable Mobile Weapons, which traditionally can switch between an MS-mode and an MA-mode. 7.9.3 Universal Century Remote Mobile Weapons.7.9.2 After War Remote Mobile Weapons - Bit Mobile Suit.7.9.1 After Colony Remote Mobile Weapons - Mobile Doll.6.5 Transformable Mobile Weapons in Alternate Universes.6.4 Anno Domini Transformable Mobile Weapons.

Specifically Health Debuff and Defense Boost become pointless and Defense Debuff becomes very good. This is not relevant for most players, but if you are going to be zeroing people with over 20mil troops then the optimum gear becomes very different. As such, in the Defense List, 30% Troop Attack Boost is better than 50% Tactical Attack Boost. When defending, you are nearly always defending with multiple troop types. As such, in the Attack Cores list, 50% tactical attack is better than 30% troop attack. When attacking, you generally want to be attacking with one troop type.
