I have 7 Cockpit slots I filled with 5 Predictive Analysis, 1 Oculus Drift, and 1 Retro Controls. The 5 P.A.'s provide Precision, Trample, Crit-Kill, and X3Damage potential. They also pack a Laser Vulnerability at 4% a piece. The 1 O.D. provides further precision, more Trample, as well as Laser and Projectile Damage bonuses. Last we add in the Retro Controls for added Precision, Crit-Kill, X2 Damage, a Dodge bonus, and a Speed boost.
The Chassis is 6 slots all filled with Lateral Stabilizers for the Dodge, X3 Damage, and Speed bump. The trade off there is even more Laser vulnerabilities, and now a Fire Vulnerability. The six engine slots are all filled with Orcus Wheels for the Speed, Projectile Damage, X2 Damage potentials. But again we have even more Laser Vulnerabilities, and now we have Ice added in as well. It should be noted that this mecha has built in Ice shielding as a build bonus and at my current level of 115 it sits at 70% with a Trample Shield likewise at 70%.
The four shield slots are equipped as follows. 1 Lightning shield which gives Projectile shielding, Fire shielding and further Trample shielding, as well as a basic "shield" rating, but has an Ice vulnerability. Then I have a Crabworth Epsilon for Missile shielding but again we run into Ice Vulnerability. I then installed 2 Viridel Epsilon Laser shields seeing as my Laser vulnerabilities were getting a bit out of hand. Those in turn left me with Missile vulnerabilities. But as there are only 4 shield slots you kind of have to hope for the best.
So when everything gets installed and he fires up his engines his total build stats plus equipment turns his total stats into the following......
Level: 115 / 115
Armor: 1521
Proj. Damage + 34%
Laser Damage + 51%
Speed + 55
1.5X Damage 65%
2X Damage 57%
Trample 33%
3X Damage 82%
Fork 9%
Crit-Kill 16%
Dodge (79)
Precision (74)
Shield (151)
Trample Shield 79%
Proj. Shield (30)
Laser Shield 10%
Ice Shield 40%
Proj. Shield 38%
Fire Vulnerable 15%
Missile Vulnerable 8%
Class: Fext
Weapons: 49
So there you have it my build for my first ever Fext named Crossfire. Are there flaws here? Of course there are, but as I said it is a build in progress. This is just what I have in it so far. Take from it what you will.
