Its bonuses at full upgrade are nowhere near competitive! 5% damage bonus to all weapon types, except projectile, which gets 15%, 3X 5%, slow 5, precision 4, speed +4, and 12 whole points of shields! That's it!! Period!! You might be saying to yourself "You can always equip it" but guess what? At full upgrade, you only get 2 equip slots per category, no more! When you look at the equipment available to a 40t mech, your options are quite limited!!!
This is the prize that you fought so long, and so hard for? All that hard work? All those resources? For this? Yes, it's pretty, it is a very shiny gold color, yes it is RIDICULOUSLY cheap to level up, but ALL of the pilots I've talked to would much rather have substance over style ANY DAY!!! Most pilots I've talked to have stated that their Nephilax just sit in their inventory, gathering dust! The only reason they are kept at all, is to show that the pilot has won a KOTM event! This is a role The Nephilax excels at, sitting in your hangar, looking pretty.
So... this is a wholehearted plea to "The Craftsmen" Give us a victory mech WORTH our effort!!! PLEASE!!!!!! As usual, this letter is MY OPINION ONLY! I'm sure there are fans of this chassis out there, but I haven't talked to any of them personally.
