Re: Class Discussion: Space Cadet

@Iron_Guard8 For what it's worth, I find her base form better. I got more vanquishes with that than transforming into a station. Yes, station is more powerful, but against skilled players, base form for the win. 🙂 Believe it or not, I use rose to counterattack the station(1 player without allies). I just jump around and shoot around corners. Or just use juiced upgrade with Citron.

In the end, it's kind of op against new players when using the station. Other than that, a welcome edition to BfN.

@JusticeHeroX I prefer just being a Cadet as well and don't use the station much anymore as a single cadet station isn't all that hot, whereas an Oak that lacks treetop riders is fine. I'm quite sure that part of why they're different like this is to make them have different dynamics to further differentiate them from each other. The Station gets much more powerful as more Cadets join, and a solo station is not very good, but the stacking health, shields, and firepower of a station with 2-4 is vastly better than that solo one. For the Oak, the Oak itself doesn't gain health and the individual treetop riders can be taken out singly, and while they can heal and overheal while also using their sap traps and firing, it's just not as good. A solo Oak is basically a mech that has individual support for each Acorn on its head; the Station becomes far tougher and powerful as Cadets jump on and you can't chip away at the team unlike the Oak.
I like the station but there's too many issues with it and balancing it with the mech and Oak. Unless they retool how these 3 'big guys' will be balanced to each other and any possible new ones, it's best to drop the station so the Mech and Oak can be balanced against each other, without having to take the station into account as well.
