Hex Energy Cage Equipment Review

This piece of shielding equipment is for 80-90 ton mechs. It will cost 1,093 Ferrite, 706 Boptics, and 48 Niodes. It has Trample Shield at 28%, Slash Shield at 16%, Laser Shield at 8%, Missile Vulnerable of 14%,  and Fork Shield at 38%. It offers a lot of protection and provided you fit your mecha slots properly for shielding the missile vulnerability may not be too harsh.

The trample and fork shielding is the big bonus to this equipment piece seeing as those abilities are becoming more and more common on the heavier mechs as a build ability. Not too mention a lot of the higher end mecha weapons are starting to utilize those abilities a bit more, not every one mind you but such are becoming more common at the higher levels for encountering. The missile vulnerability shouldn't be too much of a concern provided you have the shield slots to cover it and whatever vulnerability your missile shielding comes with.
