METACOM

Definition
The METACOM System is a combination of the words Metaphysical, and Compressor. It can also be expressed as the hyphenated Meta-Com, or the longer Metaphysical-Compressor. The ideal definitions of each part are shown below.

- Metaphysics: The branch of philosophy that examines the fundamental nature of reality; in this case, the relationship between mind and matter. (Man and Machine)

- Compression: To express in a shorter form; abridge.

In other words, it is a system that simplifies the interaction and controls between a human pilot and a mechanical Garrisai.

Explanation
The Difference between the standard control system and the METACOM System is that many of the sub-systems That are usually remotely controlled are now controlled through the Pilot’s thoughts.

The METACOM System also offers a plethora of new movement abilities unusable through standard use controls. For example, moving the joystick back combined with the pilot’s thoughts can initiate a parry, instead of a sword charge-up. It can also allow the pilot to fire/attack in reverse, such as stabbing a close enemy from under the armpit. Pedal use combined with the METACOM System can allow for kicks, dives, & other versatile moves.

Ranged Heavyguns can automatically target units with missiles without a long lock-on time. Automated turrets can predict enemy movements and aim ahead of moving enemies. Crouching is performed through clicking down on the left stick, though the METACOM System allows for dropping prone.

With the reaction time of the pilot being enhanced, Garrisai can evade homing missiles, or dodge enemy melee attacks through ducking, side-stepping or barrel-rolling.

Basically, it allows for more versatile movement, while the NU METACOM System feels like a cybernetic link that simulates the mecha as an extension of the Pilot’s body.
