While their relative lack of combat skill is a very
deliberate design choice, I'd still like to see their damage output and accuracy increased so that they can at least occasionally hinder you, forcing you to consider taking on an enemy Pilot if they're surrounded

It's a perplexing decision if we consider it as a
deliberate design choice, but reports ahead of the S8's launch, which now seem validated
by the device itself, suggest that it was a last - minute alteration enforced
by the slower - than - desired development of more ambitious technology.
