Topic: inverse MKII Variant Robots
Whats the difference between an arkhe, an intakt and a gropho?
Yes, its a different model, different animations and different numbers in its price/resources and abilities.
So, since certain robots are primarily used in roamings and others in intrusions and possible again other bot types on still to come objectives - i feel the perceptioned variety of bots reduced by seeing always the same.
Now instead of changing the current mechanics to achieve a wider spread of bots being used for different purposes - a simple thing could change all of that.
If there were MKII (or whatever) variants of each robot having the inverse abilities of the normal MKI ones - you suddenly could use heavy armored Prometheus' in intrusions or Intakt speed like light Tyrannos for roamings.
In a first step these variants could have a different color tough to make them kinda distinguishable and later could have their own models (heavy spiders/light built mechs).
MKII variants of lights would have a comparable price/resource req. like MKI mechs and vice versa.
