For long time I was looking forward to scavenging a Yallan
from some Drochah minions, hitting raid after raid, with the carnage piling up
around me, thinking one day I'll hit that One in Fifty chance and finally get
me a sweet 95ton ride. Even though I didn't have any 95 ton mechs so far,
bigger has always been better, and I remember looking at this mech early on in
my piloting career, thinking that with all that shielding it's got to be one
strong mech. Room for 5 shield modules at lvl 17? I don't think any other
crystal mech can compare to that. Plus, they can equip some of the biggest,
baddest shield modules in the game.
Recently I finally nabbed one. Best day ever! Or so I
thought.
At 95ton, seems any kind of flaw in a mechs design just gets
magnified many times over. Test driving my Yallan was the most frustrating
experience of my piloting career. It couldn't dodge any shots fired at it. From
my early testing, and even after retrofitting it with some black market chassis
unavailable to the masses to correct this, it under-performed immensely. Too
slow it seems, and hardly any noticeable damage. Definitely not worth putting
my limited collection of spikes on it to correct the dodge issue.
In the Yallan's defense, when configured with mostly niode
equips it's almost not completely useless...except for that speed of 11 proved
to be a killer in testing situations at my level. Compared to the top speed of
similar mechs like the Magnus, which can readily hit 40, and has other similar
stats, this Yallan really earned it's nickname of "Hot Garbage".
