M.A.U. - Massive Armor Unit
The M.A.U. is the Bellato?s heavy armored artillery in the intensive battle to gain supremecy over the mines of the galaxy. These mechanical units are piloted by those that have achieved "Driver" status upon their 2nd profession change. The MAUs provide unimaginable shielding and armor against lethal attacks and have the ability to provide some of the highest damage throughput in the game.
_____________________________________________
to use a M.A.U. you must meet these requrements
1. You must have the Driver Class (obtained @ level 30).
2. You must purchase an MAU ignition key from the UNIT NPC. It costs roughly ~1 Million Dalent. There are 2 types of keys you can purchase, one for Goliath and one for Catapult. You can have more then one ignition key in your inventory at any time, and can summon either but not both simutaneously.
3. You use the ignition key like a summon.
___________________________
Restrictions when using a M.A.U
1. You cannot gain XP while using a MAU. You only level your UNIT PT.
2. Upgrades cost money, requires a certain UNIT PT and Character Level.
3. You must be a Driver Class for your 2nd class change/profession.
4. PvP kills while using a MAU do count towards your PvP fame.
5. Both the Goliath and Catapult requires ammunition to attack.
6. A maximum of 4 ignition keys are allowed in your inventory at any given time. You cannot summon more then one at a time.
7. Stamina is unlimited you always move at the same rate[very slowly] unless you use a golath with a booster
8. Armor Riders have reduced damage repair costs.
9. When the HP of your M.A.U hits zero it is destroyed you may not repair it. You must buy a new one and then upgrade it all over again.

Types of Mau
There are 2 types of M.A.U. configurations: Goliath & Catapult. The Goliath is armed with close-range combat blades that are capable of tearing apart even the most heavily armored units in the game. The Catapult is equipped with LRMs (Long Range Missles) that provide the Bellato army with a tactical advantage in large-scale battles.
__________________________________________
Level 40
A Bellato Driver that advances to Armor Rider at level 40 has the ability to upgrade to the Advanced Goliath Configuration, or Catapult Configuration. These are much more powerfull but not over the top.
________________________________
M.A.U. - Ammunition
As mentioned above, both the Goliath and Catapult MAU configurations require ammunition to fire or attack. Below are some ammunition types that are available. Each type of ammunition has its unique characteristics such as attack damage, attack speed, cooldown, range, etc. You can purchase the ammunition from the UNIT NPC.
DONT LOOK FOR THESE RIGHT OFF THE BAT YOU CANT FIND THEM
later on u gain access to all types of ammo
The Light Energy ammo provides the Goliath MAU high attack speed but low attack power.
The Normal Energy ammo provides the Goliath MAU a balance between attack speed and power.
The Hydrogen Energy ammo provides the Goliath MAU high attack power but low attack speed.
Ammo is consumed everytime the MAU attacks, regardless if it is a hit or miss.
_____________________________________________-
Deployment
to deploy your M.A.U. move away from the Unit NPC and right click on the key in your bag (or press the corresponding F/Number key if you have the key on your bar.)
This will deploy your MAU infront of / next to you. Now if you press Ctrl and
left click on the MAU you will have a menu popup (like the player menu) and select Ride or Riding from the menu, you will now get into your MAU and be driving it!
_________________________
Inside your M.A.U.
When in an M.A.U. you will see this in the bottom right hand corner of your screen
1st button shows your ammo in your main weapon only will show a max of 1k if you have an ammo rack it will auto reload untill you have no ammo left
2nd button shows your ammo of your sub weapon dont worry about this for a while you dont get it till rather late when using a mau look at the list at the bottom for exact time
3rd button is used to get out of your M.A.U. dont worry if it wont let you get out at times just move and try again
_________________________________________________
Storing your M.A.U.
To put your M.A.U. away (so it cant be damaged):
Ctrl and left click on it and select store from the M.A.U. menu, this will store your M.A.U. safely so it cant be destroyed whilst your not in/using it.
If you do not store your M.A.U. and leave it out, it can still be summoned from where it is but a prompt will appear saying your M.A.U. has been towed and you have to pay the towing fee, which is around 12,000 varying again, on your races tax rate.
