3 passive module slots. Falconers rejoice!
Mk3 T-Falc with +5% skin, 3 x HAKs: 537,484 health plus damage resistance plus T4 defence chips. Tanky? Yep.

Anybody running a maxed Mk3 Falcon? What are y'all seeing? An extra Heavy Armor Kit, ODU, or BU is pretty cool for the Bird. Rollo Tomasi: Your feedback would be interesting. Jumpy-bird or not. :-) |

Jumpy-bird or not. :-) Yup, first thing I did was Mk3 my main (fully jumping) Viper Falcon, lol. I’m running 2x lvl 6 Thermonuclear Reactor (my only maxed ones) and a lvl 6 Last Stand. I haven’t decided on the Vipers yet and don’t want to completely drain my hard-saved gold on 1 build. My other currently active Falcons are: - 2.4 w 3x 2.4 Hornets 2x lvl 1 Thermonuclear Reactor and lvl 1 AC - 2.9 w 2.1 Hel and 2x 1.10 Incinerators. I’m thinking about going all in on that one, with a Mk3 chassis, at least 2.4 on weapons, some life-extending drone support, 2x ODU and 1x Last Stand. If I stay focused on it, maybe it will be done by Labor Day, lol. |

If I were going T-Falc, I would consider a Glider over the Nebula. T-Falc already has 60% DR, 2x T4 OnHeal Def only increases it to 76%. But a NON T-Falc, well that’s a different story. |

Well reasoned, thanks. But another way to look at it is you are 16% more god-Mode against normal bots. And when you are likely attracting the attention of more than one Red it could be handy. If yer gonna tank, then tank b's-to-the-w. :-) I suppose I should test and but my Au where my mouth is and get back 2 u. |

True story and that goes along with my general theory of use Mods, Chips, Skills to make the bot more of what it is. Runners get faster, tanks get tankier, etc. I’m slow boating a Glider. 1 T4 MildDmg Heal and 3x T3s so far. I’l also slow boating a 2nd T4 OnMild-Absorb chip and about 1/2 way on that one. But…with how much DR T-Falc has, how often does MildDmg get triggered for the Shield and/or Healing? Hmmmm |

So, I tried my 3-module Falcon and I even Mk3'd it because Au-spending knows no bounds.
Mk3 Ember. Maxed Legendary Pilot from back-in-the-day. Totally maxed for tankiness. Adamant Mechanic, the works.
Nebula. T4 On Heal: Defend chips, T3 On Mild: Absorber chips. Suppressor.
Tanky? Yep. I just open my wallet and throw PCs at this. I use an Ember because after much testing it's the most versatile. For me. Kinda. Not enough damage output. "If" you get to the beacon first you can defend pretty well, but because of the lower damage output trying to turn the beacon from red to blue you will struggle with.
Better than FenDeer? Nope. The extra medium slots on Fendeer give you versatility and firepower. I'm still running Pulsars/Ember and this combo just works for me. It ain't all that but the "only" two Pulsars can lock-down and hurt lots of things.

No Traditionalist for me, but still running a Falcon in each of my 3 active hangars. All Viper in main, Hornet in #2 and leveling up a Hel/Inc build in #3 |
