Ves knew that the policy changes regarding the safety limitations of neural interfaces could raise the frequency of breakthroughs.
At the risk of suffering serious harm, mech pilots would find it much easier to stimulate themselves into exceeding their prior peak performance levels!
He also knew that the Star Designers had secretly decided to change the Red Kingdom to loosen the breakthrough parameters.
No longer were mech pilots restricted from triggering an apotheosis because their morality was too dark or because their minds weren't healthy enough.
When Ves took into account that the changes to a neural interface could work together with the changes made to the Red Kingdom, then the combined boosts should result in a significantly higher breakthrough rate!
It was difficult for Ves to pin a solid number on it, but he wouldn't be surprised if pilot breakthroughs became 2 or 3 times more prevalent!
