Sideshield Upgrade

Armory » Ship Gear » Robotics » Sideshield Upgrade

Don't like using robotics? Fine, fine, maybe you're a more militaristic type, or a tank afficionado. Maybe you're just retarded and think the robotic arms are ugly - or, FSM forbid, you think arms produce drag in space. Whatever the hell your reason is for disliking robotics, it's a reason to like the sideshield upgrade. Each purchase adds a sturdy curved shield of carbon nanotube reinforced steel on to the side of the CASKET, right where your robotic arm used to be. A pair of robotic arms have a tendency to get damaged, and a pair of these have a tendency to protect you, deflecting up to 40% of shots under appropriate circumstances. As a result, you look slightly smarter than you probably are.

Creds: 1000

Ammo: One side; second purchase required for second side

Requirements: Fits on one of your robotic arm slots

Rolls: Nothing

Additional Details

Really does deflect shots; single shield can deflect half of 40%
For those of you that can't math, that means you only take four fifths of all damage
For those of you that can't intelligence, that means you're safer
For those of you that can't read, just kill yourself already
