Robot Armour and Goods value questions

[loveblast]

Hey, Rob am a veteran player of EA1 and have a question and a suggestion

1st Will there be more Armour packages as there was in the 1st game in the future?

2nd i was playing earlier and it's something that i've been wondering with the goods production which is if you want to do a big production order say 200 crates or more you have to continuously spam it to get there so perhaps a slider or a loop button like that just to make it a little less time consuming. Thank you! c:

There’s shields, which aren’t quite the same but have a similar effect as well as the perk of recharging.

In practice, at least for executrons, it doesn’t really matter that much at this point as the executrons just need enough shielding to quickly run past robots and maybe take out some internal turrets. Maybe the upcoming patch will change that.

For “normal” robot vs robot battles, eh. It’d be nice to just spam more robots to compensate, but there’s the problem of friendly fire. Robots aren’t smart.

You can also get hold of a few mechs from the traders and walk them in. They’re pretty capable, but not hugely fast and IIRC they don’t typically keep up with a gob of robots if you tell them all to go somewhere, requiring either only sending mechs or micromanaging their movement.

As far as huge amounts of goods, I think if I had that much iron to burn, I’d probably make a few large ships and take out the enemies. The ROI for goods pretty quickly decreases after bribing protestors. Still handy to buy mechs, I guess.
