Something I just noticed, having bought this new edition a few months ago: the Psycho Rival, at the very least, has a Mecha Point deficit. Just tried punching everything into a function on a CS made in Google Sheets to calculate all the MP costs, and without any Design Flaws, the Psycho Rival's final MP balance comes out to -10 at PL0. Feel free to reference my work below to verify if desired:

Starting allowance for Rival NPCs: 100MP at PL0

Might and Speed cost: 21MP each at PL0 for a stat of 6

Guard and Threshold cost: 15MP each at PL0 for a stat of 5

Energy cost: 3MP at PL0 for a stat of 2

Systems cost: 0MP at PL0 for a stat of, well, 0

Experimental Reactor: 20MP

Reactive Booster, Beam Saber, and Beam Rifle: 5 MP each

f=100 -(21+15+15+3+0+21)-20-(5x3)

100-75-20-15

25-20-15

5-15

-10

Your math is correct. But there is more. Looking at it in detail now, at PL5 there's an additional 4 extra points given, totaling to a -14 deficit. This mistake is unfortunate as I don't have the working files for Remastered anymore, and I'd have to redo the entire manual from scratch (without some of the original artwork, even) to fix it.

A quick and dirty fix (without redoing the whole build and using the round attribute costs rule) to each of the PLs would be:

PL0-1 Guard and Threshold -1 each.

PL2-4 Remove Versatile Model.

PL5 Might and Systems -1 each.

Recover Guard and Threshold by PL 2 and regain Versatile Model by PL 5, obviously.

Boy I sure hope this is the one build with mistakes and that the rest are fine.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Psycho Rival was the only one I noticed with this MP deficit problem. All the others looked like they checked out just fine according to the mental math I was running at the time, but I could also be mistaken. Will take a thorough look and a calculator through the prebuilds sometime and let you know if I discover any other point deficits in the pre-built NPCs before you do.

So, continuing on from what I mentioned yesterday, I've decided to take a look through the rest of the Rival NPC prebuilds, as well as those for the Grunts, and have discovered a few other units with MP Deficits (only 4 when not counting the Psycho Rival). I've compiled a Google Doc of both my findings, as well as potential spot-fixes for the MP deficits I found, for your review and judgement.

Looks about right at a glance. Let this be a lesson about doing the math for 30 builds in a single day: Triple-check your math! Will certainly be doing more of that in the future.

Good job with the spot-fixes, the reasoning for them is solid enough and you've saved me the time of doing them myself.
