Pike Mecha Review By John Ringo#899287

Greetings pilot! Welcome to Shock and Awe your un equaled distributor of Mechs and MOAR! I can see that you are a discerning individual of both taste and skill. May I direct your attention to our newest arrival from Alpha Corporation – The Pike. No war is too big, no local uprising to small. With this Mech you can crush them all!

Now I am very sorry to have to ask this but I need to see your pilot ID card. You see you must be pilot level 128 or better to buy this unit. I have also taken the liberty to check your credit balance and I see that you have much more than the needed 25,200 Ferrite, 17,000 Bioptics and 140 Niodes to take this home. Here is a brochure that explains the basics and then how well it will perform after you invest in upgrades:

280 AP
12 Gun Slots (You will gain a new slot every 3 levels)
2X Damage 5%
3X Damage 3%
Freeze 5%
Shield (5)
Speed - 34

At level 227 you get the following:

Gun Slots – 75
3X Damage 25%
2X Damage 38%
1.5X Damage 40%
Precision (17)
Crit-Kill 6%
Fork 14%
Freeze 30%
Slow (9)
Wide Fork 15%
Shield (40)
Fork Shield 35%
Wide Fork Shield 60%
Auto Repair (4)
Speed +1

Cockpit Slots – 7
Chassis Slots – 8
Shield Slots – 6
Engine Slots – 6

Now imagine yourself at the controls laying waste to every foe who stands against you and a few of them who do not run away fast enough. You will be the envy of everyone not fortunate enough to own one. Why General Nova himself was just here placing an order for enough Pike’s to go on a Colony Drop. How many can I put you down for?
