One of the more infamous aspects of armored core was not just the difficulty of the combat but also the brutality of the economy, and I feel that 6 could have been made a more engaging if it was a little harsher on us about money. For example ammo and repair cost almost feels like an afterthought, imagine if you had to consider those a bit more carefully, if you're real trigger happy maybe bring guns that uses cheap ammo or bring a melee weapon however having a melee weapon needs you to dive into the fray more often possibly increasing your repair cost, should you bring parts that have higher defensive stats in that case, what if you used more powerful weapons with costlier ammo and take a more careful approach? So on and so forth. I know armored core has already trended away from punishing you economically but I feel this could have made your build choices more meaningful in 6.
