    Increase their vision radius 1.5x and see where we stand.

    I'd wager that one change would push them from 'highly situational' to 'useful niche filler', which is where I think they want to be.

    Another good use for Doxes is to troll players.

    I just had a game where I just simply built 50 factories and spammed Doxes.

    When I had 2000 Doxes, I sent them via teleport to patrol/flood a moon to weed out enemy crops, and it created so much lag that for over a minute, the game was near unplayable.

    Anyway, I later sent my Doxes to zerg an enemy base and totally obliterated their moon base and 2 commanders when I found it. In very large numbers, Doxes can be very lethal, but they create so much lag that planet area patrols are out of the question.
