Heavy Armor, or MAX

[Unregistered]

Well after last nights Dev chat, I am left with Quite a delima.....

I had always planned on joining the Terrian Republic, and spitting some lead in a MAX suit, but after finding out a bit more about the MAX and the diffrences between each empires MAX suits I'm having second thoughts.

The VS MAX seems to be a lot more manuverable, at the expense of some shielding. The mobility sounds very atractive, but is it worth the loss of armor, and the slower rate of fire?

Then there is the NC MAX that has more shields, and does heavier damage.......The devs didn't really go into the draw backs for the NC MAX, but I'd assume it has a slowest rate of fire out of the 3.

What do you think? Who's got the best set up?
