My comment is focused on the new players,,,,when debating prototype bots.
I ran as high tiered mods as i could, saved ep to fit the next generation of mod i wanted.,,,,,having cpu, reactor, acc recharge times, all help to get on the lvl playing field...
Prices,,,time in game,,,need to be on the casual player play style,,,Prototyping blows,,,the existing tree is a ep sink...designed for multi player,,,players. While painfully making existing players invest some ep in protyping, to get along. I don't see any new prototyping content that will lessen noobs,,,gring. Put them on the battle field quicker...just change the T1 bots and burn the code for proto bots....
PS
the proto bot fits for T3,,,,put in a MK2,,,,a pound of flesh,,,,and walla out pops a black bot. with your name on it,,,banners,,,,hood ornaments.....
