Which parameter of the Scarab makes sense at all?

Big, slow and extreme expensive bot - vs. - less hitpoints then a castel.
750 hitpoints @ 12m hitsize @ masses of noralgis and epriton

-> 1% hitpoints per industrial robot control pushes HP to 825
-> -0.3 hitsize per glider robot control brings Hitsize to 9
-> 5% repaired hitpoints p. adv. robotics
-> 5% demob resist p. adv. robotics demob immunity...
1 legslot, 4 headslots, two universal torso slots

-> either shield, or lwf or plate or self repair
-> not enough accumulator for RR
-> not a single reason to fit a weapon:
- no visual range
- no hitpoints
- no lockrange
- no sensor strength
- did i already mention the low hitpoints?

-> nexus bonus as mentioned from Alexadar makes no sense on hauler in a system where you mine into a container, not the hauler itself. Also, its almost impossible to run both mining nexus on same scarab, if you dont pump accumulator into it (either sacrificing legslot, or transfer energy to it)

Last but not least - the fact that its a "glider" hovering above the ground. I would like to hear from the DEVs if glider stay to be simply mechs without visual contact to the ground...

+1 for replace Indu Nexus Bonus on Scarab

As Scarab is haul bot, there would be only use for speed nexus bonus, but that would increase scarab speed with nexus above Lithus speed. The only reason I would use a scarab for Nexus support on mining op is, if it would get Fast Extractor Nexus Bonus and I have >10 Riveler on spot.

I have no problem, with Scarab role beeing limited to haul large amounts.

BTW Indu nexus itself is only reasonable for those who are not capstabel at all during mining without nexus, as for all other cases your usually fine with Recharge Nexus and Fast Extractor. Maybe if that would change, there would be some better place for Bot with Indu Nexus Bonus

The industrial nexus would make sense in a situation where you had to fill all your low slots on the mining bots for defense - aka plates, resist and repair - and not having shield + recharger as ultimate best solution for low-cycletime + defense.

also, the low defense of the scarab itself also cancels out that solution anyway.

IMHO best solution would be if they switched the "hitsize" bonus to avdv. robotics, and instead make give glider control a float hight delta that would enable floating over obstacles.

+1

Best possible replacement.
