Summary0015717: Mk 3 Engineers' Armor is Too Low
DescriptionI don't have exact numbers (not staring at the game right now), but I noticed Mk3 engineers don't have any armor like Mk1 and Mk2 engineers do.

I assume this is a bug or typo - should Mk3 engineers have armor scaling up just like Mk2 engineers have more armor than Mk1 engineers?

Mk. I engineers: 5 armor.
Mk. II engineers: 10 armor.
Mk. III engineers: 0 armor. However, they're cloaking and can teleport, which (at least to me) is far more useful than 15 armor would be.

Thanks for filling in the numbers, Toll.

I agree armor is not very important for these units, but it just looks like a typo-ish mistake for Mk3 engineers to have any stat lower than Mk2.

Cloaking units always have zero armor in my experience. This was probably related to how armor used to be "shields" and that a lot of scifi had shields and cloaking be mutually exclusive. At least that was what I thought at the time.
