Have you ever escaped from a close battle and thought, "phew! now where's my healer"? Have you ever wanted to help team-mates more by offering healing services? How about a new bot... a Healer/Medic/Triage/Repair bot. Why is this useful? You'd live longer! Why is it needed? Because this game, like all PvP, will tend towards a shorter TTK (time to kill) and will eventually need a way to increase the TTK or we'll end up blitzing each other to shrapnel in seconds. Perhaps each team gets one healer per match...? So play a healer and be in instant demand! Heals count as damage in the final score...? Hrm, something like that... Another alternative... a healer-pet... some kind of little robo-pet healer who follows and heals you, but can also be killed. I want one already. (I guess lag would be an issue)

Honestly...I'd much rather prefer an inconspicuous repair depot.
That'll give players something else to fight for in the field. Of course it would suck if TT furies were to camp that spot.

I really don't know about this one. especially when a bot has very low hitpoints. imagine the rage!! I'm leaning towards no, because I think I'm not comfortable with that much change. Let's say you have a high level medic bot, it can heal every bit of damage you take.

I think it's a bad idea. This is likely to accelerate the trend (thank you aphids and Tridents) of the game being static, defensive and attritional.
Then they'd need to do some other crazy buff (Ancile v2.0?) to help break the horrible stalemate they helped create in the first place.
Ah crap that means they're gonna do it.

This is funny, but I don't want a medic bot sitting in an Ancilot shield and healing it....

I would say no to the bot, but yes to a healing weapon that may attach to a Medium or Light hard point and heal friendly bots. Limited to a range of 150m, healing 500 HP per second at base level 1 and reaching a rate of 1570 HP per second at max level 12. Cost would be 4500 WSP. Healing weapon has separate targeting system, which must be locked onto a friendly bot and then healing is automatic as long as friendly bot is in range. Healing points would be scored as damage points.
I'd love something like that. It'd be a trade off, firepower vs healing, but it would add a new dimension to the game and help encourage teamwork, even among randoms. A Stalker pilot with two L12 healers equipped would be able to heal 3140 HP per second - ten seconds behind cover, and that's 31k damage points repaired. Any weapons knocked off of the injured bot would only be repaired if the bot was completely healed to 100%.

I have no interest in converting this game to a healer/tank/DPS team combat model, which is where this leads.

Not really interested in a healing bot, but a healing point that can only be used once or twice, per player / team, might be cool.

What I want is that the middle beacon can heal you if you camp on if it is on your team color(blue to be exact),this way it can encourage capping and defending beacons more medic bots/weapons will only make the game lean towards in either having an ancelot that is now impossible to kill or near immortal TT furys everywhere

The solution to the problem is simple, don't let your bot get hurt.

Or instead of a healing bot, a healing weapons for heavy hard points that can only heal other people, and it shoots like a thunder. I'd commit to a Medic Schutze or even a Nurse Natasha in squads.
