(Where it sits)

It is thin on armor (108th of 117) and energy (105th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, so that much of the board costs no forma.

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

Nekros is a boss drop — every part comes off Deimos/Magnacidium (Assassination). The blueprint itself is bought from the in-game market. Skipping all of it costs 375 platinum in the market, or 100,000 credits for the blueprint alone.
