so now i need three accounts in PvE?
one that leads and is followed by the active, and one that has the locked the active to buff it.

great

good that PvE combat is as static as Mining.

Anni might need two more just to hold his frail hands.

Its for the best for the player we hope to get many more of.

Its not for the best for the veterans with many accounts who are used to fairly mobile multiboxing.

I am willing to make that trade in hopes of getting more players and maybe even one day have enough players to have dedicated logi/support pilots.

But not as easily as follow bots made it. Unless you mean with cloakies, I am obviously talking about multiple combat / logistics accounts.

Maybe because players with a healer mentality want to be more useful in PVE as well as PVP? Why spec as a PVE healer when every ratter has a 2nd box? What about one Healer bot buffing more than one DPS bot? Inefficient with current buff mechanics, Symbionts only have 6 arms. Unless the buff mechanic was changed so RSA buff was twice as good as SA head mod and each DPS bot can only have either one RSA buff or two SA buffs, and each R.Repairer arm and each E.Transfer arm does double what it does at the moment, and each DPS bot can only accept one R.Repair OR one E.Transfer, then maybe each DPS bot doesn't need it's own follow bot for a perfect grouping. Either way it is too little too late IMHO to save the player who wants to be primary healer. Actually if my calculations are correct, two DPS bots still do more damage and are tougher than one DPS bot with a support bot. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
