If you reduce the mass/kg of the EW bots, you change the Mass/ speed ratio of the installed modules. Meaning, on lighter Bots, the Mass of Modules will have a higher impact on the speed.

Now Demobs have been reduces on half of its mass and EW bots have been made even lighter, will result in more or less the same speed of teh EW Bot. 

Not quite sure if I made this clearly understandable.

I am not one of those mathematical guys. But surely someone can provide a formular on that

HEHEHEHEHEEHHEE Я БЕГУ К МОЕЙ СМЕРТИ БЕЗ СОЖАЛЕНИЙ ТЕПЕРЬ В МОЕМ МАЛОМ РОБОТЕ

hhaha we have to see the new mechanics, lots of fun stuff to do

Well, actually not all things. I find new beta islands quite boring and empty. And event, ya know, I thought there would be hundreds of protectors swarming the island... but I found only couple of spawns and very low quantity of other NPCs.

I haven't had a chance to see most things .. I know people are testing suicide bot possibilities that should make for interesting intrusions, wave after wave of of plated accu boosted suicide sequers.

So far the only thing I've been able to use (less than 2 hours played since patch ;/) are the highways which are quite nice.  I especially like the lightning effects. 

That free reset is tempting too.  I wish assaults had got the same base speed boost lights did.

I'll get a lot more time this weekend

im pretty sure, assaults will get some love over the next few weeks too.

i got the information that the roaming observer and convoy npc spawns are not implemented yet for the new islands. Can't remember where i got it, but perhaps a DEV or GM could confirm this.

With the wide open areas i found on Tellesis, i can imagin that there will be much more roaming groups then on other islands.
