My mate is gonna upgrade his ION board but he's not sure which 1 to get. Which 1 is better amongst these 2?? Sorry if this got asked already before...? 
ION board: Blackheart or Virtue?

It is all personal choice. Between those two though you get more modes than the black heart. But it turns of how fast you could get both of them firing in uncapped semi then it is probably the same.
If you want a virtue get it from Skeet
If you want a virtue get it from Skeet
Ahh... ok
Still stock board but his intention is to upgrade it to the max! Including installing a QEV
Well in that case just get a virtue, some virtue lasers (don't do anything stock eyes can't do but look cool) and a virtue QEV(I don't know how different this is from the other QEVs out there but this one is meant to be specific to Ion). All these as far as I know Skeet can get
personally the board is a pointless first upgrade,
Sorry to bore you but I’m gonna get into some detail here, there is no point in getting a better board, the ion itself has the only 2 legal firing modes in Britain, semi auto and ramping, no ramping event will ever go over 15 bps, and you will be among a select few if you can get over 17 bps in semi
Another reason not to get it, if you have a stock ion which I do believe he does atm, is that with the stock internals the ion can only just go above 17 bps, 18 is about its max, this is since the dwell cannot be loved below around 44-45 before you get shoot down, since the dwell is adjusted in 0.5 millisecond intervals starting at 8ms
44 * 0.5 = 22
22 + 8 = 30ms for the dwell
The recharge rate is fully adjustable however and will have no effect at all on the marker other than altering its cycle speed. The recharge rate is then adjustable as well and this is also measured in 0.5 ms intervals starting at 27.5, but we want it at 0 to get the highest bps possible
So recharge = 27.5ms and dwell = 30ms
57.5ms is the time taken for a full cycle, since there are 1000ms in a second
1000/57.5 = 17.4
So the marker as stock cant really cycle any faster with a new board, without internal upgrades to the bolt and adding a QEV (which allow you to lower the dwell) the gun wont cycle faster so a new board will not increase speed, gives you modes you cant use legally, and costs a lot of money, the only advantages are the debounce adjustment, which you can normally solve by adjusting the trigger, save the £85 for playing or for upgrades that will help such as a bolt (less mass so less kick) a barrel kit or a QEV to stop dirt and crap getting into your noid
Sorry to bore some of you but that’s my opinion

khanzo Thanks for the technical detail Mat Appreciate that.. I've thought about that. But I guess probably he just wants the ramping mode & stuff...
He doesnt have any of his ION's internals upgraded yet, but he's already got the Freak barrel with some inserts & clamp feedneck and as I've mentioned he'll also gonna get a QEV installed.
I wonder how much would it cost from Skeet
