Thread: Possible cure for the Probot
I don't know if anyone thought of this yet as I haven't read every post here. So heres an idea I just thought of.
Probots have 2 module slots. Perhaps we could have a new module that buffs the Probot or any droid for that matter, giving the Probot more HAM. Call it a "Frame Reinforcement" Module or something to that effect.
As mentiond by my piers (sintrosi), the probot is worthless with its current HAM. Now if combat modules were made then a Probot could be outfited with a combat module and a Frame reinforcement module. Both of which could be experimented on for varrying results.
Anyways, if this has been though of already then ignore this thread.
The reason that the Probot, and all other droids, have the basically the same HAM and Damage is due to the caps in place. Adding a new module won't help, since no matter what is done the cap would still limit the droids HAM and damage.
In order to fix the issue, the Experimentation code would need to be re-written to lower the overall values that can be achieved. If the caps were simply removed without changing the code, the Pre-Nerf Probot would look like a DZ70 in comparison to the Probots we would be able to craft right now. This may sound good to many; however doing so would completely unbalance the already unbalanced system and would lead to an even bigger hit from the Nerf bat.
In fact, I think I would get a third factory just to get a lot going simultaneously.
