Oh, no, you're correct. The Starshell is an upgraded version of the Blastshell - an artillery shell largely for the HA1.
I meant that I think that regarding the next revision, choosing the Starshell is a better idea to me versus doing big bombs. Largely because it bypasses the range penalty (and maybe even then some), making our artillery useful again. And having superior artillery has consistently been the win/lose factor since artillery became a thing.
EDIT:
Revision: Blastgem M.2
The M.2 is a simple upgrade to the Blastgem.
This time, we've included a simple "mind" activation trigger on the gem. A person holding it in their hands simply wills it to activate. This is based off of the mage-circuit interaction, but is so low-power mundanes can do it too. Simply prime the timer, then throw it, and watch as your Moskurger foes explode!
Revision: Reactive KPD
The Reactive KPD is a modification to the KPD's logic circuitry, increasing its versatility in high-weather conditions. By programming its circuits to respond more intelligently to common Moskurger-caused weather conditions, we can greatly increase its reliability and versatility in air.
For example, in scenarios that'd normally capsize a Valkyrie/Lightning, the RKPD would instead compensate, keeping the craft upright. In other scenarios, where wind would blow the craft off course or make taking off/landing difficult, the RKPD can and will compensate to keep the craft on course. This can make quick landing/taking off for our Valkyries much more effective, as well as greatly facilitating sorties from aircraft and allowing for mid-air formations of Lightnings.
This is meant to draw on our existing experience regarding circuitry. Which should be quite extensive, of course.
TL;DR: Make the KPD's circuitry more, well, reactive. Make it automatically compensate for instability caused by weather and the like. Capsizings should be less frequent, landings/take-offs should be much quicker and easier for both the Valkyrie (combat landings/take-offs!) and Lightning, flying in formation should be possible, and sorties should be much more effective.
