Yes way.

Haha. It had to happen folks. I just never thought it would start from me... So my republicans... let's talk about the available OB cores in the game. What are the pros and cons of each?

RAKAN

pros - Low equip drain. Low-drain overboost. Great energy defense. Low OB Start-up heat (hidden stat).

cons - Ugly... okay fine let's call it "aesthetically challenged." Low shell defense. Low heat resistance. No CAMS

ATLAS

pros - Good overall stats. Very low-temperature overboost. Good heat resistance. Hangers provided.

cons - very slow overboost. only 16 optional part slots. No CAMS

HELIOS

pros - Excellent overboost power and acceleration coupled with low discharge heat and low OB start-up heat (hidden stat). Good heat resistance. Good energy defense.

cons - No CAMS. High equip drain. Drainy overboost. Low shell defense. Low AP

/UL

pros - OB only slightly inferior to HELIOS. Balanced defense. Balanced stats. Allows hangered weapons. CAMS provided. Doesn't break as often or as quickly as /UL2 (in my experience)

cons - somewhat overshadowed by non-OB stats of /UL2. Low heat resistance. Overboost runs hotter than many others. low AP

/UL2

pros - Balanced stats (which are better than most of /UL's stats). Good heat resistance. Good CAMS. Allows hangered weapons. Relatively light weight. 19 optional part slots. low-drain OB. Decent heat discharge and OB start-up heat (hidden stat).

cons - OB power is somewhat lacking. Tends to break faster than other OB cores (from my experience).

ICURUS

pros - Above average OB power and acceleration. Low discharge heat. High defense and AP for its weight. 20 optional part slots.

cons - ridiculous equip drain and OB energy drain. Very low heat resistance. Relatively heavy.

/U

pros - heavyweight stats. CAMS and Hanger provided. Low-heat OB.

cons - laughably slow overboost. Only 13 optional part slots.

EOS

pros - Best OB power and acceleration in the game. Heavyweight stats.

cons - high OB energy drain and heat.
