    I know bots are way under powered as it stands and i'm trying to work with it, but the one thing I can't agree with is the removal of the stinger. You'll forgive me, but removing the ability of entire unit type to fight against another is a bit bit heavy handed and not fun at all. It 'feels' to me like a lazy attempt a diversity that doesn't really make sense.

    If this is how we create diversity, why not remove orbitals ability to attack ground units or navy units from attacking subs(when added back). To me diversity is about providing useful functions and abilities, not limiting a unit type from performing basic functions.

    To that end, I want to request the return of the stinger. Aka save the dox from air bullies.

    Give the bots a T1 anti-satellite and amphibious dox (Because why not), that'll make them useful along side tanks or air.

    So basically a mobile umbrella? Sounds better than spamming umbrellas all over your conquered planet but should be tweaked so that umbrellas are still superior and not obsolete. Also isn't the slammer amphibious?

    Yes it is, but a light amphib unit at t1 could be cool. Dox are a bit underpowered at the moment, however having a group of them appear at that nice protected side of your base with next to no warning would certainly make them more useful!

    I like both of these. We definitely need a ground counter to Anchors. And the Dox would have an excellent advantage.

    Totally agree, right now the only counter to anchors that are already in place is to go orbital.

    I'm pretty mixed with bots. I kinda feel like bots are really supposed to be all about people who want to do high level zerg like stuff while tanks/air is just the same foundation for pretty much the same build.
