Due to all the Kickstarter hype, I've been looking at the Invasion-era Falcons of late, and I noticed that quite unintentionally, no less than four of my Falcon Omni minis have a visible NARC launcher on them, and I got to thinking about their use in a Clan that normally at least tries to focus on single combat whenever possible. At first, I thought they were used much like Arrows(and by extension TAG), to quickly eliminate targets unworthy of Zellbrigen (tanks, fortresses, pirates, etc) so that Warriors can get back to the important work of winning duels, glory, and GatoradeBloodname sponsorships. But NARCs show up way too often to be solely used against things that are barely worth shooting, much less planning for.
Then it occurred to me that maybe these NARC carriers are meant to be used against mechs after all. Moreover, they aren't there to break Zellbrigen (or take advantage of its breaking), their role is to enforce the honor code. The idea is that the NARC is on the field, and the entire Star is loaded with compatible missiles...but in normal duels, the pod is never fired. Combat proceeds as normal, until someone breaks a duel or otherwise acts in a way to show themselves to be dezgra in Falcon eyes. The NARC carrier then moves forward, tags the offender with a pod...and retribution is swift.
Thoughts?
