SHARPWING vs SKYSPY frames


Mech


I feel like the Sharpwing frame is pretty much inferior to the Skyspy?
The Skyspy has fast flight (than all FLIGHT frames!), better reflex saves and 1 more Aux slot. Which it can use for the cool aux stuff recon frames get. On the opposite side, the Sharpwing has one more Frame slot. I don't see any special flight frame aux stuff or abilities. They both cost the same and are the same size.
If the skyspy is supposed to be speedy, I'd expect a tradeoff nevertheless. Maybe frailty?
As is, the Sharpwing can mount one more weapon to its frame, which seems underwhelming to me. If it is supposed to be a flying armory I'd make it bulkier than the Skyspy, I guess. Be it through AC and saves or HP. Or give the flight frames some kind of upgrades that make them unique, e.g. flyby attacks.

Curious to see what others think.

I agree, I feel the recon frames are too good. They should either be more fragile, AC and HP wise, or have no frame slots. Also I find it odd that their is no ground only recon/scout frame. Currently the Skyspy and Co are just amazing and have 2 unique mech upgrades. The Assault classes also need a boost in some way.

The Sharpwing should be cheaper... or the Skyspy should be more expensive... unless having 1 extra frame slot in exchange of 1 less auxillary slot justifies that.


I don't feel it does at all. Personally, I don't like the current recon frame has to really cool, thematically at least, auxiliary slot abilities, extremely fast air speed, and nearly equal stats as the main combat flight frame and ground combat frame.
