yea i had that idea myself.
since i have 5 accounts and its all the same problem with all of them.

For an arhke a probe is like another player. Meaning you have full interference. Resulting in around 70 sec lock time. Also you get the detection debuff wirh the arhke when near a probe. Means you vave a hard time finding it because you literaly have to stand on top of it to see it. So the arhke argument is invalid.
I only see one reason for more hps. Some ppl dont want to replace their probes aml the time since they easy get shot down by a light.
The probes are a easy way to scout and alert you. It should not be made any more easy by giving the owner more time to respond because it takes a while to kill it.

So no to more hps.

since frame is %based while
plates are absolute values
and because both should not be changed for different reasons...

not allowing plates and frames simultaniously seams the most logic way to go for me. either or. or non of both.

i also agree that racial bots shoud be more specialized.
but i dont want to go back to the old ways. there should be a reasonable possibility to fit missile launches on the slots that are there. on the arbalest, baphomet, kain, artemis. just if you want and have both weapon skill sets. besides they are not misc slots like on the tyrannos where they can be used for other good stuff...

well im not that active since the patch, and i havent used the forums much either, but this seams a more or less civilized topic so maybe its worth a try.

not sure about the arbalest but i think its about a combination of plates with a frame that makes it fast and demob immune.
so maybe a change in the formula would be of intrest that one plate and one frame will cancel each other out so that its no benefit to have both.
or even that you cant have both at the same time.
since the two modules are basicly the oposite of each other, but current mechanics still provide options to use them effectivly in combination.
just an idea...

for tuners: (i think i said it before)
MAKE THEM LINEAR. no dimishing returns.
at the moment they stack exponential. that was a stupid idea from the start (sry)...
reduce the tuner to ONE benefit. for weapon tunings that would be dmg. then rewrite your formula that all boni simple add %. additive. if your gun is 100% then a bonus of 20% + a bonus of 5% + a bonus of 12% is simple 137% and not something way higher just because of a way more complex formula.

then you basicly just have to figure how much bonus you want to have. that includes extentions ... ...
set a min and a max, and look where you numbers get you. from there you can easy tweak. and just for example for pve it might stll make sense to add more tuners because its worth some. but not one tuner more is a too big difference. thats just because the boni are given exponential.... math my friends, math...

only takes you one teleport to get across a beta island. thats roughly 4 mins...

we are also supporting 77 and friends not playing.

oh... what a surprise ...

i roughly rememebr a change where it was not possible to disconnect buildings when at least one building in the network was in reinforcement.
i dont think it was about deconstruction.

since you only need to offline a buliding to decon it it whould not be affected by this.

but its been a while...

you are comparing a heavy mech class with a mech class robot. not realy a good one. if you want to compare to industrial then you have to compare to termis/gargoyle.

using your logic i could complain that a kain does less dmg then a mesmer...

and why should you. its a sandbox. if thats what he wants to do.

its like: "omg that person is accually playing the game. spending his free time on it, doing things, earning money, getting rich."

i have the feeling its more about: "we want to have all the stuff. so when we are done, and we will be faster and better, then the others should not have anything anymore."

getting resources is no much different from killing npcs. its your personal invested time. for some resources its also about risk (epriton/colixum). if you think its too much then maybe we should talk about the yield. oh but wait. everbody just cried when the mining bonus was nerved a bit...
