It was actually a new technology from Neo-Zeon, whose name I forgot (I don't have
my reference here with me!). It might be Psycommu-control.
Anyway, this new system allows a NT pilot to use psycommu arsenal outside the
unit's cockpit. Therefore, the pilot should operate the system as if he/she was
inside the cockpit.
Judging from the fact that Puru II could sense her fannels being moved, I suspect
the way how the psycommu system works is that a NT pilot directly interacts with
the drones, while receiving feedback also directly from the drones. This way, the
OS onboard the MS abstains from processing data for the drones.
This picture is what I intended to paint in the first place, and I apologize for
not having made it clear enough. It is also because of this direct interaction
that incoms tend to come in fewer numbers. Normal pilots just can't handle that
many drones at once without overloading their minds. Controlling drones involves
more than merely visualizing an attack pattern.
As for reflective bits and incoms, the reflection process involves I-Fields, which
doesn't sound too logical because they just can't accomodate an I-Field generator,
yet I believe that is what I read.
Hope this clears things up.
