See Gloucester RPI-209. This is an image of Cornelia's Gloucester, but it also represents the Gloucesters used by imperial guards - basically all the close-quarters Gloucesters.
There's an unfortunate oddness here. Most Knightmares in Code Geass just use projectile weaponry like heavy assault rifles, but the Knightmares in the series that are optimised for close-quarters combat tend to use either lances or maser swords. The CQ Gloucesters use lances. Lances in MTG tend to mean first strike... but that's because they represent weaponry that's longer range than most melee combat.
I think using "CQ -> lance -> first strike" works fairly well anyway, because most CQ Knightmares are piloted by skilled pilots, which means in the series they tend to wipe the floor with normal Knightmares or Knightmares with unskilled pilots.
use mechanics to allow switching of "piloting""equipped"
costs down since this has eject
This is really really strong. Eject doesn't matter when first strike makes the creature practically invulnerable. Needs a nerf, as does any other Knightmare lower than rare that grants first strike.
down to +2/+2 from +3/+3. It's either that or make this rare, and I already have Lancelot Z-01 at rare.
