Only the combat and industrial robot specialist extensions were given to everyone since they are starter extensions. This is not the case for the Hi-tech specialist extension.

So when could pilot mk2 bots before the patch now we have to spend an EP to get back to that ?

I know it's only a small amount, but you think this is a fair thing to do ?

[EDIT] tldr: now I have to spend more EP to get back to where I was before the patch ?

I wouldn't call it fair, but giving that extension to everyone would have been even less fair towards new players.

Re: I cant pilot MK2 bots now ?

Guys, this is wrong from the most basic level.
If you have achieved the ability to pilot a bot. Any changes made should not remove an existing ability.
That is simply not fair for any pilot that has the existing ability.

Guys it's glaringly obvious that this is not  fair or correct.

I leave it up to you how you will correct this injustice.

The rest of the changes I can live with, this particular cockup is not acceptable.

Zoom, I'm not talking about new players, I can understand the argument in that aspect.. But I am not a new player, I am a vet.. I could pilot MK2's before the patch now I can't (unless I spend 430EP) I know it's not much and I can afford it , but that's not the point..

[EDIT] Those that could pilot MK2 before the patch should have got lvl 1 automatically..

We didn't have specific extensions for driving Mk2s before the patch so there wasn't really a way to tell who was able to drive them or not. That's what the new extension does.

I challnege this. You stay the same while everybody else loses, you gain relative powerdness. Beside it's invalid to compare before and after patch in the way suggested. To do so is an elementary error.

Re: I cant pilot MK2 bots now ?

I personally find it a waste to have to get mechanics on my bot to operate a termis mk2 or riveler mk2, just because I never get into fights with them, hence wasted ep. But then again, it really is cheap to get it to 5, so I dont really care about it too much.
