Sure, absolutely. I don't want shields on every single unit in the factory. This is why I like outlaw. It has an interesting interaction with other shieldbots. Even bandits interact well with shields since they have considerably more range than any other raider so they are able to fire at them from under the shield of a convict or thug.

Dirtbag benefits spiders the most by distorting terrain and making them the only factory capable of traversing it relaiably.

Rouge just shoots a slow rocket at its enemies and has an amount of interactiviting with other shieldbots as any skirmisher would have.

Vandal is just a boring AA missile spewer. It is actually very uninteresting.

Roach has nearly 0 interactivity with other units inside sbots (in fact it synergises with the cloaker the most) nor it has any consitency at all regarding theme. It is more of a spider or what amphs aspire to be (crawly thing) than anything else.

But yes I do agree that shieldbots are all about local firepower though none of the described units fit that theme.

Point
is
that
this
is
factory
that
fits
within
its
playstyle,
theme
and
mechanics
the
best
and
yet,
as
I
have
shown,
it
still
has
visible
shortcommings.

This
is
not
a
matter
of
just
theme,
this
is
a
design
problem.
