Heracles Fibers Equipment Review

This chassis is an example of what you hear mecha mechanics call "Niode musculature".  Carbon fiber - bioptic mesh weave is spun into cables with Niode batteries acting as the chemoelectric-motor response stimulators.

You can rig it to big mecha which are on scales ranging from the high end of heavy weight division (75 tons) to huge weight division (up to 85 tons). The advantages of Heracles Fibers are that they offer an 8% increased chance of triple damage, 4% increased chance of double damage, give a 2% forking bonus and a 4% trample bonus.  The one disadvantage is a measly 1% increased laser vulnerability that you can easily amend through equipping shielding or the clever use of certain motors.

A single set of fibers for kitting out one mecha will cost you 2452 Ferrite, 1526 Bioptics, and 46 Niodes.
