Some crystal chassis equipment for some of the heavier mechas out there, the 85 ton end of the Huge scale and the 90 ton BFM scale. But it's a piece of chassis equipment that does not only what it says it does, adds shielding to the mix, and has no vulnerabilities or penalties.
So getting down to brass tacks here, yes you can do better on dodge with chassis equipment, even crystal gear as well. The Burst Booster can do a dodge of 8, Stealth Plating can do a dodge of 7, heck Trilerian Sprockets can do a dodge of 11.
But the Burst Booster is vulnerable to fire and missiles, Stealth Plating gives you a -3 Speed, and the Sprockets have a Laser vulnerability.
So it has a dodge of 6 but doesn't pay in penalties like some of the other chassis parts in the same tonnage range do. Instead it gives you a Fire and Ice shield, both set at 5%. Now yes I know that isn't a lot, but figure you'll be slapping these on in addition to actual shielding and whatever the mecha has for inbuilt shielding.
So slap a few of these in your slots and get maybe an additional 10%-15% on top of what you may already be packing elsewhere for bonuses. All in all this isn't that bad of a package , and truthfully the price isn't that bad for it.
