To me assault robots aren't important. I (as well as many) was tired of frequent changes of global balance.

Anti-Assaults:
Detectors, stabilisers, Ewar.

Any of those will work our rather well. Remember once you've LOCKED something it can't drop from your view range until it's outside your locking range so long lock rangers DOES help against smaller stealth targets. Seeing them coming is a very key factor too. Most assault roams have other beacon like robots with them which helps work out at least roughly where the main force is.

Assaults are not over powered by mechs are expensive in comparison to them. Is assaults do get changed then everything will be okay but assaults will be useless and new players won't be welcome into many corporations. This game reward the elites but also punishes the new players. When mining a field you do not want high cycle times and bad yields. When producing you only want to use the best of the best. When farming the more people the more heads you have to pay. New players are useless for at least 1 or 2 weeks.

Assaults right now help to level the field. If stabilisers were a little lighter to fit I can see mechs become nice and used again. One T1 mech can only out tank an entire gang of assaults in T4 and even kill a few of them. So get 5 mechs vs 10 assaults and the 5 mechs can win if they don't fit lolsetups.

Tanked mechs are the way to go but you do need tackle.

Returning of Le Grand Balanceur, huh?

Frequent changes ARE necessary and they WILL be until every bot will have his niche. It's simply impossible to implement something 100% useful from first try. So DEV's implementing something, testing it, changing and testing again.

People opinions and demands are playing very important role too. If there will be a lots of things that mot of people doesn't like, then people will simply leave the game.

Ok Alexadar tell me then how the DEVs will test things WITHOUT implementing them? I mean, from the programmes point of view it can work fine and great but people may not like it.

And another thing - if they will implement alots of things each 6 months only, people will start leaving the game. The game is still young and lack of content so changes are necessary to keep players interest.

little OT - when "This summer part 2" will be posted?

Edit: I don't get the point, but it's something offensive to someone. - DEV Calvin

Can then better to wait for server arrival before something to change?
