Heavy mechs don't have a purpose anymore anyway, once the intrusion 2.0 patch hits they can collectively be shelved and forgotten as far as PVP is concerned; as they're too slow to roam, too slow to pursue and don't have the tank anymore to act either as rearguard or vanguard.

Plus, it won't be cost-effective to field them anymore. Whats the point? You can easily achieve the same results with assaults which are infinitely easier to mass-produce. Not that I'm complaining, I still have all those assaults we built for the "stealth-assaults". Gonna be a good half a year before we run out of those, nevermind contemplate producing more.

So, here's the bottom line since it's obvious to everyone that the Devs are doing their best to "nerf" veteran players with 300-400k EP and "buff" the new players that are just starting up their production:

Light bots, light ewar bots, assault bots = PVP
Mechs, heavy mechs = PVE

So, I recommend you start re-planning your production if you're still mass-producing heavy mechs...
