They missed the mark with this one imo.

No one uses the combat bots because they are a pain in the ass to deploy and use. I used them for a huge chunk of my recent playthrough and honestly it's not fun. First you have to spam them out, with each of them being on a cool down. Then when running around they slowly coalesce into a small death orb thing which I have to swing around. Not. Fun.

Clearing nests late game is already cumbersome as is. Buffing nests would feel fair only if they added some space age weapons. (How will this mechanic work with quality off? And for people without space age?)

Would be nice to see some space laser thing, or maybe nukes from space? Let me cosplay Raytheon ffs.

The laser nerf will be probably balanced by quality item.

Kind of agree. I wish combat robots were placed in the suit inventory and then came out as needed. It never felt right for them to be automated grenades.
