Hip Shocks Equipment Review

This is for mechs 35-55 tons to start. This chassis piece will run you 620 Ferrite, 465 Bioptics, and 34 Niodes per piece. Its abilities are Dodge (8), Speed+4, Precision (2), and Ice Shield 8%. A rare piece of equipment in that it has no built in vulnerabilities. Then again it is for lighter weight mecha, and it seems that the vulnerabilities are more pervasive amongst the higher tonnage mecha. The dodge isn't bad really, the speed is so so, it can be used to augment the quicker lighter mech engines.

 Precision and Ice Shielding are just kind of there. Stacked with build and other equipment abilities it could be a nice piece of equipment, as is a stand alone piece it is kind of all around unimpressive and the overall stats aren't too grand. There are better pieces of equipment out there, all around this is just middle of the road across the board.
