And they're both older than 18, and so can be proper soldiers. Having super robots in a game does not automatically make 14 year olds eligible to fight in the military.
You do realise that even being able to pilot a mecha would make someone eligible? It's not exactly an easy skill to learn you know.

Err... No it doesn't. You also have things like emotional maturity to worry about. And the fact that the war hasn't gotten desperate enough to use child soldiers yet. Just because you can pilot a mech doesn't mean that the military will ignore your age.

Do you just not want me to have unshippable characters? Is that it? :'(

Are you....implying that I would do such a thing?

That offends my sensibilities. And my honor.

*ends smurf again twice as horribly as I did when he ripped my eye out*

No. I'm simply saying that having a 14 year old pilot a mech is a stupid idea and should never happen. Bump his age up to 18 at least and it'll be fine. Having such a young character fight in a more 'serious' mecha game like this just doesn't fit. Or at least not with such a weak backstory/explanation about why he is with us.

There is always technically shipping him with a concept. or his mech. But hey, not my portfolio. That's Elf's job.

Cargo ships, yes. Age up ships, yes.

Shipping him as is? nopenopenopenope

I seem to recall that one of the current pilots is 16 years old.

Ah, you seem to be right. I'll yell at Again_Dejavu for that when/if he jumps into the thread. That doesn't take you off the hook though, far from it.

Hmm... it looks like we're having some trouble with the ACM. Is it ok if I jump into the fight right now? I'd still like blue hologram goat dude to appear when he comes back from the mission though. Excellent choice of music btw. I'm not gonna lie it pretty much convinced me to join right now.

Hey, I'm right at the border of plausibility. It could totally happen :P

No, you are not. 18 is the border of plausibility. 16 is definitely not. Especially not for a squadron piloting the first giant robots used in warfare. You don't give children sensitive and experimental military technology to use like that.
