Now if we take the example from the game page to level it to it's greatest potential, well first you have to be past level 200, and secondly I hope you're independently wealthy, cause minus sales this is going to take about 600 Niodes just in level cost to get up to speed.
Now it has been pointed out that this mecha has the most slots and weapon holding capability yet. However let's just think about this for a moment, 79 slots for weapons. How effective do you think that may be given all the limitations on available weapons for the higher levels? 8,7,7,5 is the slot numbers for equipment, just how many niodes beyond the 600 spent to level it up to over level 200 to get its full bonuses do you want to spend?
But it has so much potential Pat why can't you see that? Well actually I can but only if you get it up to giving you the mechas full stats to play with. Otherwise this is pretty much a niode sink hole. Especially seeing as the only missiles really worth a damn for speed in this game are niode based.
Also don't we have enough missile boats as is? 75 Tons has the Rook, 80 has the Ballista, 90 doesn't have missile specific but many mechas like the Torrent can use them to great advantage, and at 95 Tons we have the Anubis, and a 100 ton Crystal missile thrower the Typhoon. So just from 75 tons on up we certainly have plenty of choices, why give us this....no other word for it...mess?
Normally I'm happy and somewhat excited to see a new mecha come out, especially when I get my own and start unlocking what it can do. But this, well I'm going to give it an all around pass. I have to many niode mechas, with niode gear, and weapons to even want to consider the price tag that would come with this thing fully loaded. This to me is a case of, "No matter how you polish it a turd is still a turd."
