The optimizations for the damage and tank spec give very little boosts. Hardly noticeable.

I suggest they be buffed.

Here's a thread of mine about optimizations which is still very relevant into Beta 2. Optimizations need to be almost entirely overhauled IMO.

To be honest, i think it would be better off without optimizations at all, it simply gives straight up power increases to people who played longer. IF they were sidegrades, for example picking an optimization would give a bonus to one attribute and a penalty to another.

Just my 2 cents

if you mean the one in the mobility tree then no it takes three points to get that +75 while in the defense tree you get the same +75 for 1 point

Optimizations & upgrades in general are one of the places we're strongly focusing on for Open Beta (and beyond).  Definitely expect to see some updates & changes.  You guys will be happy :D

I think if everyone had access to all 25 points (or most of them) from the start it'd be a little better. Then people could play around with different versions of their mechs based of optimizations. I like to play around with them so it may give new people more reason to play while they're earning HP.

i think once you level up one mech to level 20 you should unlock the tech points for all mechs

currently i feel the offensive tree is lacking while movement is the best for A/B class mechs and defense is best for C class mech
