For armaments, Ballistic doesn't skimp either. Its bomb bays hold 7 Death Heads, 4 Midas Missile turrets, 5 Magnet Missiles and a Renly's Revenge. It has a speed of 39 which though not great, as an 80 tonner puts it relatively on par with some of the heavy mecha lighter than it. The equipment configuration I'd devised for Ballistic gives it 46 precision which is nice, yet the 20 dodge isn't exactly anything to write home about. I would say that the built-in projectile and laser shielding aren't too shabby. One may note that the mods I've made to this Ballista have upped its freeze (21% >15%) and crit-kill (14% >5%) abilities significantly. The choice of featuring Heracles Fibers and Long Range Sensors were mainly to grant Ballistic an 11% trample ability, first and foremost. Bonuses these granted to stackable missile damage increases, double and triple damage were a happy accident observed in the field.
I intend to keep tinkering with Ballistic and will have my men collate and annotate findings on the various Ballista load outs we test. Also of note, Ballistic and Bastion house the culmination of my Synthman copilot technology research. These two mecha are piloted not by human or android drone pilots inside their cockpits but by the latest generation of custom grown cyborg brain modules instead and together form the automated heavy duty missile portion of my formation's rear line.
