Reinforced Plating Equipment Review

 Like most extremely heavy duty alternative shielding, we see the trade off of increased protection at the cost of a reduction in speed (-4). What distinguishes the reinforced plating amongst these is that it can be obtained for crystal, suffers no kickback and though the generic shield is low at 5, it gives you some nice anti-trample at 38%.

The way it works is many small shock absorbers using springs are sandwiched between numerous layers of plating, which behave like pusher plates, stabilizing your mecha structurally against the aftershocks of the sonic booms and quakes of trample damage. They are not intelligent computer guided ones like on the Riot Gear, but these dummy shocks do their job well enough.

It'll fit on mecha that weigh ranging from 70 to 90 tons and the price for one will run you 400 Ferrite, 333 Bioptics and 70 Crystal, which to me seems like quite a steal, considering how pricey equipment for the larger and larger mecha has a tendency to get.

Goes great on your kaijus and Jadoon to even the playing field now that there are dinosaur mecha running around that have their own anti-trample built in.
