WIth two harvesters and a scarab at the right places (Scarab next to harvester, harvesters moving on the same tile, you could get 160 from a 30 unit! I just wish they can help with your army's offense. Sure would want to sacrifice them to increase the damage that a tank provides for 2 reloads.
And it’s kinda nice that after the unit count gets reset so you can IMMEDIATELY get new units out to do whatever’s next on the agenda once being awarded the bonus.

Well they aren't meant for offense. They are kind of like mines: You set them up somewhere and if an enemy comes nearby, they blow up.
Never those get of it that way. That’s exactly what they are when they are holding a pad. A land mine. And when attacking Harvesters they are kamikaze warriors lol.
Just made it to Masters again. Now comes the losing every 7 out of 10 matches. 😞

Good luck with your climb to master rank. I too am in master rank, but stopped at master 3, can't even reach Master 2. My highest score was about 3270 and it fell to 3200. After that, I stopped and waited for season reset. One think I would want to see about scarabs is that they shouldn't be able to kill a zone trooper/cyborg in 1 hit. It seems rather strange to have a zone trooper fight a scarab, but one scarab is all it takes to put them down. With zones and cyborgs can shoot a scarab that launched itself and cause the scarab to explode on its own tile.

If you are at 3200 you might as well keep pushing and try for 2. No matter how much more you lose you can’t fall any lower. But you have the potential to still reach a night plateau.

It’s hard man. The only time I win is if I get the first missile and a harvester. If they have good defense for their harvester, I’m toast because then the tech comes out. I just cannot compete afterwards with my units so low. No matter what I throw at them gets destroyed even if it’s the right counter.
I understand bro. This game is such a crap shoot. Not knowing the map, not knowing your opponents deck, not knowing your opponents play style, not even knowing what faction you’ll face...
The guessing game of this game makes it sooooooo tough. I’m honestly on the verge of retiring. I made it to Tiberium on NOD and I’m currently at 3680 on GDI. The lack of variety in gameplay has bored me. And I’ve basically reached the top level in the ONE game mode that is available. At this point, what more is there left for me? I seriously might be done after this season.

Yeah I‘m also slowly getting bored. I basically only play the events and climb to tib each season, but that‘s it. Once I‘m there, I barely play.
They need some new permanent gamemodes or add a new faction or just a fun new commander to try out. Events are also basically all the same except the new wargames. But wargames happen so rarely...
New units are nice, but those are just units, nothing game changing. The emotes were an attempt, but they are too expensive. I‘d gladly buy all of them if they were for 250 each and use them each match. But 1k? Nah ...
not it even a new Commander can do it for me. Unless there’s a new game mode... I’m done. Either a story mode or a no Nuke mode. New units do nothin for me because I don’t spend money on the game so I can’t really rank them up. Plus I’ve already put so much gold into the units that I use. So yeah, without a new game mode, I’m done after this season.

This^^^
A no nuke mode is desperately needed. It would definitely keep the game interesting.
Maybe even a king of the hill mode where there is only one pad and he who holds it the most time wins. Or even an infantry only mode. Or an attack and defend mode where you have a certain time limit to hold an area.
They could do do a lot of things beside adding salt shakers.
