A new Niode laser is now available for levels 19 and above. It will run you 480 Ferrite, 380 Bioptics, and 31 Niodes. As usual there is bulk buy option of 5 for 124 Niodes, with no restrictions, and at the time of this writing there are 281 left out of the 500 released. This laser does 55 straight damage, with a speed of 102, and the abilities of x2 Damage at 5% and a precision of (4).
Not too shabby damage wise for lower level pilots, decent speed, and the pricing really isn't that bad especially now that regions are reset so often. The X2 damage is always a good thing which can further be augmented by mecha build and equipment load out. Precision is just a nice bonus to have also in conjunction with cockpit equipment, after all every little bit helps. The fact it is available for lower levels will most likely ensure that these are snapped up quickly so get yours while they are still in stock.
