but so what makes it so great? try it out in all other arenas and watch it shine. it's a lot more accurate than the 73MV and the 03MV and still stuns like a mofo. and, coupled with the RM3 missile extensions, makes for one of the best missile combos in the game, IMHO. [/quote:8e4bf0d8bd]
Yes, yes, yes, I couldn't agree more. MV2 + RM3 for the win.
On the underpowered perspective though, I'd like to add that the Silky could have been an awesome energy MG (think MOA) if it wasn't for its unreasonable usage drain. 1800+ versus the 1500+ of the Hollow... and the Silky's a machinegun, therefore the need for a faster firing rate than even that of the Hollow. In the end, even an AC running Fudoh's gonna need a time-out. Now while I know that any AC using energy weaponry has got to stop firing sometime, with the Silky, it comes too soon, if you get what I mean.
Plus, with all the boosting around that you have to do, refresh on the higher capacity gens is gonna be long. Which means a long period of time of you not attacking with aforementioned crappy gun.
With all the energy usage in one match, 1800+ drain to every round is definitely not worth it. Sayang. If only they made it 1500 or lower. The damage is already low enough (or just about right), I don't see any reason as to why they couldn't make the drain right too. Oh wait... yes I can. OP-I AIs.
Damn it From.
P.S. I have another one... the Ettin. Haha
