I remember that ban list as far back as mid to late 2006.
These are the rules and ban lists of our own PACT, along with an extensive discussion about it. (This thread takes me back)
Our part ban list was initially based on discussions and consensus in multiple English speaking AC forums from back in 2006 and along with our own testing as well. Although, I'd say we were a bit more lenient by not outright banning certain parts, and instead making them conditional bans.
To sum it up, the banlist was supposed to encourage lesser used design styles (bladers, single weapon wielders, etc) by allowing banned parts on lesser used fighting styles. It was supposed to up the performance of blader designs, to put them somewhat on-par with dual gun wielding designs, to encourage build diversity in succeeding tournaments.
I wasn't familiar on the rules in JP tournaments sadly.
In a nutshell:
CR-C8UA + Hangers (core + hangers) - Core was already really good.
A09-LEMUR2 (arms) - Too much defense and AP for the weight and EN drain it had
YA10-LORIS (arms) - Too much defense for the weight and drain.
CR-B83TP (booster) - Best top speed and acceleration in the game. Possible to dodge everything.
Complete ECM Type (inside) - Too game breaking, forcing all other designs to counter build around it.
E01MG-ROE (extension) - Banned because of the 98L Laser Rifle
E05MG-ROE2 (extension) - Banned because of the 98L Laser Rifle
WB270-HARPY2 (back unit) - Can single handedly destroy any tank legs build
WB31B-PEGASUS (back unit) - Same reason as the B83TP
CR-WH79H3 (arm unit) - Pocket rifle that can easily genbust designs
WR12PU-ROC2 (hangers) - Pocket energy rifle
YWH14PU-ROC4 (hangers) - Has killpower the size of a full weapon, in pocket form
CR-WH01HP (Hangers) - Pocket rifle with amazing DPS
