That's sort of a huge nerf to his early/mid. I always liked the big AP from upgrading early.

And why the big mana nerfs? mk-2 is the only one that could concievably grant more mana than on live in a real game. The hex core's whole premise was that it took up a mandatory slot, but was really slot-efficient, and moderately cost-efficient if you invested in upgrading it.

As it is here, you should only upgrade it once early for the enhanced laser, and then leave it alone until the late game, since it's not worth it's cost without any flat values.
