Getting gunners will be easier due to the CRU.
Yeah the Eryx is not anywhere as good an upgrade as the Sagaris/Surya is. It's only really good if you want a CRU, since it gives you an extra slot, and even then the stats are barely an upgrade. I hope combat dropships have a better upgrade path. The CRU is really good for getting gunners though.
That said, I don't enjoy piloting a tank, they're too slow and cumbersome for me. Dropships are a blast to fly.
I think I might try Prometheus next time, and just focus on shield resists. Anyone out there tested both and want to speak up, or Prometheus pilots want to share their best fits before wipe?
After a lot of testing, with every item in game, my favorite battle tested Eryx fit is as follows:
High Slots (Weapons):
2x XT-1 Missile Launcher - 19 CPU / 77 PG - Small Missile Turret Proficiency I (Small Missile Turret Operation V)
Mid Slots:
1x Clarity Ward Shield booster - 57 CPU / 76 PG - Shield Operation III
1x F45 Peripheral Damage Control Unit - 19 CPU / 0 PG - Engineering III, Mechanics III
14% Armor, 14% Shield Damage Reduction
2x Ward Shield Amplifier - 39 CPU / 0 PG - Shield Adaptation III (Shield Operation III, Engineering II)
25% Shield Damage Reduction (each)
Low Slots:
2x Local Power Diagnostic System - 25 CPU / 0 PG - Energy Grid Upgrades IV (Engineering II)
7% PG Bonus, 7% Shield Bonus, 7% Shield Recharge Bonus (each)
It can take a hell of a beating, probably 3-4+ Proto FG hits and with all the resist, the repper brings back a ton of EHP (effective hitpoints). |

one myron: "BEAST" 3650 shield points/28 recharge, x2 XT-1 missle turrets, %12 dmg mod
second myron: "FIST" 2896 shield points/26 recharge, x2 XT-1 missile turrets, %12 dmg mod + %10 dmg mod
Eryx: "DROPSHIP" 2315 shield points/24 reccharge, x2 XT-1 missle turrets, shield booster, %12 dmg mod
if you see a dropship hovering low, slow and tanking it's a good chance it's mine. my gunners usually get like 15/0 unless the other team locks it down with multiple AV.. i fly it like a hover tank until it takes too much fire then i must evade
get on I always drop down to try and pick up ppl especially in the Non-eryx because I don't equip a CRU/spawn on those (the eryx has a built in one)
I'd suggest trying shield resists if you can before the wipe. I think you'll like them. |
