Phoenix Engine Equipment Review

As you get up there and start using heavier and heavier mecha you'll notice that engines tend to provide more of a strength boost and less of a speed boost as compared to how they had functioned when you were piloting smaller mecha.

The Phoenix Engine is an interesting case of the former.  A symbiotic organic swarm intelligence based nanotechnology drive, this engine pulls double duty providing a lite speed boost of 3 and a much appreciated auto repair of +3.

As a protip, this engine is a bit cold and light sensitive; It functions better in a warm run environment (ice vulnerable 4%) and can be overheated (laser vulnerable 8%). You can pop one of these bad boys under the hood of your monster mammoth mecha for the price of 483 Ferrite, 2612 Bioptics and 45 Niodes.

Trivia: Capitalizing on the engine's auto repair ability the manufacturers decided to name it after the eponymous Old Earth mythological beast which is said in folklore to regenerate itself and rise from the ashes.
