declined Buff battle score received from Mechanic drone

[Muscularity 162]

Hello,

I've been playing with the ''Mechanic'' drone fully maxed and I noticed that it gives you only 4 battle score no matter how many teammates you heal and no matter if they're low HP or full. Here's some solutions to optimize it : 

1) The amount of battle score you receive from healing your teammates with the supply ''repair kit'' should be calculated the same as the shaft augment ''Healing Emitters''

2) The amount of battle score you received from it calculated the same way as the shaft augment ''Healing Emitters'' should be multiplied with the amount of teammates you healed (which will also depend of how low they are/calculated the same way as the shaft augment ''Healing Emitters'')

A while ago, Mechanic used to give score based on how many teammates were being healed, and people abused the hell out of it, getting unfairly large scores in team games. Mechanic score was nerfed as a result, and we don't accept ideas for reverting changes.

Wasn't it the engineer drone being abused or was it both the engineer and the mechanic drone being abused?

Also, 4 battle score no matter who many people you healed and no matter if they're low or full HP, that's ridiculous. At this point, just use repair kit alone

It was Mechanic only. There was a period of time where the Trickster drone was also able to get a nice batch of score on bunched up allies but the frequency of that was nowhere near as often as with Mechanic and hardly anyone used Trickster back then.

Mechanic's main purpose is to improve your own healing power. Healing teammates is a secondary purpose, and the score you get from that is just a little bonus on top. It can't be easily increased due to balancing concerns, since Mechanic is the only drone that directly gives you score for using it.

I've had plenty of instances where I shoot a good Ares ball and heal my whole team for over 10k+ hp total, but I get zero score for that. I don't mind, because the reason I heal my team is to help us win the game, not to try and get a lot of score.

Hmm, I'm going to be honest, if that suggestion was accepted, it could've been a good opportunity for grinding phoenix fast since Assault mode got nerfed (80 battle score for capping 1 flag decreased to 20 now)
