The thing about the ATLAS is, well, its got an OB system compatible with the most balanced Booster/Generator/Radiator sytem in the game; the VULTURE2/G91/ANANDA. In other words, one does not compromise one of the most stable Gen/Bst/Rad configruations for the sake of making an OB compatible combination (the LOTUS/GULL/ANANDA combination comes to mind). This means that one can pull off the same tricks with the BGR combo on a non-OB design, with the addition of a fairly user friendly OB system. Its just that the ATLAS' stats fair poorly in comparison with all other cores, and not only in its weight class. It has sub-standard defense compared to other mid-weight cores and the 2nd slowest OB power in the game, making it not a pretty choice for most people.
