God, with reversed Gender roles, would our MC be a Jade Beauty Equivalent or some shit? What even is the prevailing Xianxia trope for Women and ranged weapons?

Honestly I nigh immediately drew comparisons to The Nine Houses and the Imperium of Man.
Consider:
Us being able to fire a shot that does no damage to external armour, and passes the force/heat directly to the internals to deal with highyl defensive targets
Or a anti-sniper technique where we send out afterimages & feints in order to successfully draw their fire and counter-snipe
Or us Accelerating a single shot to a considerable fraction of lightspeed to near instantly hit a High speed target on the other side of a battlefield before they even have the chance to move.
Or being able to move and snipe fast enough to rapidly take down an entire barrage of missiles launched at our allies before they even get close, causing it to sometimes look like we're shooting int two different places at once.
I have no intention of allowing a Sniper to just Stand at the back and shoot things. And that's not even getting into some of the stuff we could develop for the inevitable situation in which someone gets in close, only to find we're just as effective at that range. Ideally with a high power handgun weapon, just because it'd be more maneuverable at that range and for Black Cat/Lockon 2/"12th deviant sword - Gun" memes.
Really the only thing about Vindicator I don't like for that is the mediocre speed. Going to need to get that fixed.
Folks insisting that the Vindicator is going to be boring dont make sense to me.
Did they miss the part where no matter who we go up against, we're going to likely be outgunned and outnumbered? The conditions where those engagements wont be anything other than a major threat simply arent going to materialize for a long while - if ever.

While I do be horny for fire rate, I am also horny for living.
Also is there anything more cucked than getting sniped by a republican?
I didnt think so

I just think it's boring because plinking away from outside of your opponent's range isn't very fun. And if we're too weak to get ourselves into engagements where we can use our own weaponry effectively, then we'll be feeling ineffectual most of the time. It's a setup where the ideal way for us to be fighting isn't that cool.

Consider this, while we can theoretically just plink away at people from far away, this is actually unlikely as fuck. We WILL have sniper-to-sniper battles outnumbered potentially 10-1. We WILL get fucked by hordes of speedsters attempting to ram us to death with knives, lances and grenades. And We WILL get stonewalled by Human Shaped Walls wielding actual Walls. No matter what we do, it'll be interesting because of how hard everything is.
This doesn't even take into account that a single mid-tier, something that anyone with a military industry has to have, Can break our entire Defense Force even if it was ten times it's size.

...this is just so fucking infuriating.
Looting planets? really? how big was the mech and how did it not cause an extinction even?
...
Occi, serious question.
When can we get a planet sized flying brick of a mech thats just a "fuck you, i got guns" gun boat?
Like, its bassically just a fuckton of guns in the shape of a mech and just floats around in space like some dude on his back in the water.
as for the vote....
i just plain dont like the Vindicator picture, but only it and the Sebastien has hands.
How modable are each mech? because if we are always gonna fight better enemies, loot is almost guaranteed to be better than what we have too. That will be my main concern, i think.

It looted the Facility, not the entire planet.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, though we might add a dash of Pavlichenko as well given the gender roles.

Yeah, sniping can be a boring combat style if all goes well...

...and if you believe all is gonna go well with the difficulty options we've selected so far I've got a bridge to sell you.

i am not THAT stupid.
but the woman DID take the whole damn facality with her, personnel and all.
A facility, unlike a spaceship though, is not aerodynamic.
hell, its also fucking fragile in comparison.
depending on the dimensions of said facility, it could take up miles what with the many buildings and the paths between said buildings.
Sure, i could see her going snail pace like a sensible person, except those don't take home whole complexes because they fancy them.
just the sheer heat caused by the friction would have cooked the people inside if not protected by space magic, and that's not considering the heat generated in the atmosphere of the planet.
Im just going "what the fuck" at the implications of this theft. its just.. big. and its probably still just mid. taking whole planets like you assumed is probably also possible (and profitable, if you can filter all the materials....)
Its important to have a viable path to having an ideal way to fight so we can leverage something over the other disadvantages we'll be facing.
Once our training wheels of having a dedicated tank fall off though, our build will force all of our battles into straight up Duels as opponents race to enter their own ideal engagement ranges. If we become famous enough, our reputation for ambushes not working will also spread relatively quickly as well.

I'm sure we can invent Sniper Fu down the line.
Use the recoil of the .50 caliber for some sick moves yo.

Stomps are cool bro, and gigaprepping and ending fights by sniping from far away without a single casualty from ally side along with the repairs being only the barrel of your gun being too hot from too much shooting is badass.

My idea was more along the lines of Sniper-Kyudou - A Philosophy regarding how you hit the target (A line that won't leave my head is "Reducing the 'Distance' between you and the target to nothing"), with all the crazy stuff then being different techniques for ensuring that you can do that under various conditions and against various targets.
Is the enemy heavily armoured? Just make the shot damage the internals underneath, that's what you want to hit after all. Enemy drawn a lock on you? Do a high speed feint/afterimage whilst repositioning to break their line of sight, then shoot. Need to figure out where to be? Allow your focus to take in the whole battlefield to read the flow of combat and recognise the best target to shoot.
Again though, a lot of my ideas require more speed than we'd currently have. And whilst we could probably make something more stealth themed, high speed shooting and movement just sounds fun imo.
