I dont really like this kind of posts, they dont contain any proof or specification, neither your "clear arguments".

As for nerfing Cybran; without going into much detail my stance on this since the dawn of time has been that the largest advantage that Cybran has over other factions is the fact that the faction has the most balanced mix of units, in other words the faction doesn't have any (significant) weaknesses. For various reasons I would not look into nerfing Cybran as it is, but rather cover up some weaknesses of other factions. I think straight up nerfs should only be done when a certain unit proves problematic, rather than the faction as a whole - whenever such a case occurs most people who follow balance tend to see it coming and it generally doesn't cause much dismay unless the nerf is seemingly overkill.

Blodir, I was thinking the same way and so were other people who suggested to buff other factions without nerfing cybran. That is the way I went with my mod, but, of course, it needs much more testing

It's not like there's a particular need for these changes specifically and they are causing a lot of dismay, why not choose a safer route?

Is there really a safer route? I would assume that nerfing Cybran toys will cause much more dismay.

Maybe there is a way to resolve the issue satisfactory: Compensate the lower HP with regen. This can keep the vulnerability to raiding and bombers but give something nominal in return. That would definitely be something with precedence in the FAF balance.

You want to open it up to everyone to allow for everyone's opinion but I fail to see how this forum is productive when that happens.

Probably because I don't really post there since I believe everyone should have a chance to state their opinion about changes to a game we're all playing, no matter how good we are at it. Everyone is free to discuss as much and with whom they like, but the official forum is here, and open to everyone, and I want it to stay like this, even with all the downsides coming with this.

The way to improve the quality of discussion and opinion is to post more posts that are well thought out and with an opinion based on knowledge about the game and balance, to set an example and encourage more of such posts, like blodir did here (even, or especially when we disagree in many things here) . Not to hide this posts in a different place, even when it can be annoying to have a lot of misinformation or rather adventurous opinions inbetween. Just imagine how I feel.

Sometimes I wish you could lock the topic so only balance team Zock could post in it
