won't happen as it would effect the game balance to much.

I could say the same about higher levels of Health Kits ... but I won't.

Have to agree with SFF and Cuey, it's all about balance - increase available protection and you also have to make sure there's an adequate counterpart - bigger mobs also. When u make mobs meaner this in turn affects many other things in game... it's not that easy as it might seem.

In general, this applies to both armors and HK's, the HK E3 is insanely powerful, whoever has this toy is halway through to the god mode...

Anyway, having a few HK's ingame won't change the balance so much - they're limited afterall, means they keep decaying and someday they will be gone. If u put both uber armors (90 protection per dmg channel) and uber HK's ingame that's gonna definitely push it all out of balance.

Ahhh - good point - there is no need for higher Armor nor better HK as players need to find themselves challenged; hence making sure that a player looking to hunt a Drone Level 4 needs more than a few years avoid skilling, armor and HK.

Exactly.
It's all about skills. If u can create an account, buy a super gear, go hunting the meanest mobs straight away - and then what? Game over!

No, the skill system is the foundation of the whole game, that's the whole idea. As long as the foundation stands everything else falls into it's right place, as soon as it falls, the game falls with it.
