It just bothers me knowing it's being used on bases with practically no defense. Waste of money.
Example: I joined about an hour or so ago to take advantage of the lower player count, and possibly try to profit a little bit off of the freed power. I join to 2 (iirc) other players, one has no idea what they're doing and is killed over and over, and the other seems to be rich as all hell.
I decide to go secretly place some advanced printers since clearly no one wanted any of the 24 available power, thinking they'd leave me be.
I place down 3 2.5 strength barriers in front of a doorway, and the fighting phase commences. About a minute in, said rich player places down a C4 in front of the barriers and kills them off. I try to repo the machines, but can't, (iirc that's new), and I lose everything because I don't have money flying out of my ass, and I manage to fight him off, nearly dying in the process.
He comes back with the same weapon, kills me off, and hammers the machines.
If he shot down the barriers, he would've saved $3,000. I'm not really saying nerf it, I'm saying increase the price. I'm seeing this way too often, and even with more buffed bases. One little cheap C4 and it's all gone. RIP.
EDIT: It also makes no sense to me that others can destroy my machines, but I can't destroy my own.
