Ooooh... blatant commercialism or what!?
Guess what mech this one was aimed at...
The thing is, crusty old gits like me tend to ignore the shiny lights and glittery baubles and actually look at what it can do. To be honest, I'm not overly impressed.
Cost for this piece is 39 Niodes, 486 Bioptics and 611 Ferrite, so its middle of the road cost wise for a
Niode chassis piece. For that you get a Dodge rating of 12, a 6% increase in fire damage and a double damage chance of 4%.
Now lets get something clear. Dodge is the main criteria for a chassis piece, and if I'm giving any up, it needs to be worth it. Bear in mind I can spend 43 crystal and get 13 dodge from Frictionless Bearings.
And the thing is, its not. of the 3 mechs you can pop this piece on logically, you don't have all that many chassis slots. There fore you don't have a huge amount you can sacrifice to start off with and if you do, the extra so called bonuses aren't going to add up to anything brilliant. Especially when for the same money you could fit a plasma orb which is an all round upgrade on everything but the Inferno and even then it about breaks even.
No, this time around I think I'll go crystal.
After all, it's just as sparkly as a Glitter Ball.
