So after several flankers, an assault and a defender robot (and anotherone"Ceres" forwarpreals), i am hoping for an tactician in the next Battlepass.

I would love to see a heavy tactician robot.
With maybe just 2 weapons (I imagine it to be something like heavy Noricums with 6 to 8 weight and about 11 energy doing about the same damage as normal noricums but covering a much bigger aeea) and a torso abillity to create a drone. (The eye of the beholder)

By using the gear button you could switch between the drone and the robot view.
And fly the drone yourself. (Like the camera at the start of each battle)
But your robot will be out of your controll as long as you pilot the drone.
Same if you switch back to your robot, the drone will just hover in the air in its last position.
But your pilot will receave target data from the drone and could aim at bots that are in line of sight of it.
But that should be a two way street.
So if your drone is within the reach of a recon mode or a magnetic sensor, the Beholder position will be reveald as well.

I would also like to see a supply gear like a drone fabricator. (About 2 or 3 weight and low energy cost)
Creating a small kamikaze drone for 20 seconds.
Aimed at an enemy it will follow this robot and ping it's position for the duration and dive into this opponent at the end of it's duration, doing about the same damage as a homing missle.

This all on a pretty heavy chassis.
So you are pretty slow but still get alot of fuel like most tacticians.

Im pretty sure frontiers has a roadmap for all the bot concepts but i do like the idea of a scout drone
