It seems from the live feed that the Max unit is the players choice because they cut though troopers like a hot scalpel though butter. At one time i watched a TR heavy armor run past 6 NC Max units without seeing a single trooper.

In Ps1 I was a trooper and have only been in a max unit a few times but i still remember many fights with floods of Max units. They were powerful but not as powerful as they look in Ps2. Ps1 had a 5 min cooldown. What should Ps2 have with many more players playing in one map?

It seems that if there isn't a long cooldown timer for the Max unit in Ps2 being a trooper will be very unsatisfying. Due to swarms of OP meet grinders.

I know this is alpha footage and this could easily be changed. But we can all talk about this issue. Please share how you feel about this issue.

There has been no massive battles to playtest these things and balace it all out. And Im watching maxes flying liberators and drive tanks. I don't think that was the plan, might have changed, who knows.

Offset the power of the max with a very large resource cost?
