>Given the vast asteroid mining capable of making entire space colonies, question how luxury car these are in that analogy. Even twice or five times more expensive should have maintenance and production time be more imporant when you have the industry to shit giant ships out.
This is why it's always confusing what's with
>muh Axis resources low
They literally have a giant Asteroid full of minerals and resources to build entire fleets. They mine their own home before, during, and after combat. Luna 2 was dragged from the Asteroid belt to build the Colonies. Pretty sure Axis Asteroid makes material cost of mobile suits irrelevant. Compared to older asteroids that had already been mined clean like Pezun, A Baoa Qu, and Solomon, Axis was a fairly new acquisition by Zeon so they were still mining the hell out of it for resources. And maybe they also had some of the resources that M'Quve sent into space back to Side 3, which M'Quve famously said would be able to let Zeon fight for "another ten years".
