Riot Gear Equipment Review

For mecha 55-80 tons this shielding will run you 1,093 Ferrite, 418 Bioptics, and 41 Niodes. For all that you get Trample Shield at 12%, Projectile vulnerable at 3%, Fire Vulnerable at 6% and Shield at (18). Seems like a rip off really,  granted the vulnerabilities are really insignificant, and can be covered by other shields but that is more of an investment to cover what weaknesses supposedly superior niode shields should cover.

You expect such shoddy work on crystal shields but in one you are shelling out niodes for? Okay granted it is versatile for the different weight classes, and yes trample shield is  real good thing at the higher end depth of the pool. However are you really going to want to shell out niodes for a piece of equipment you are probably going to have to shell out more niodes for, just to cover its drawbacks, and use up shielding slots on? This one is up to the individual pilot as are the chances they take with it. As I said the damage is pretty insufficient for the weaknesses here, but you are taking up a shield slot that could better be used by another more effective piece of equipment. The choice as always is yours.
