I find it kind of ridiculous that unupgraded Fades have only 50 armor

<div class="IPBDescription">This is not a plea to buff Fades</div>Now I understand the balancing concerns: every point of survivability on Fades increases their power exponentially, so once they get to a certain point they might as well have infinite hp. However it seems that a creature as big as the Fade should have more armor than something as small as a Lerk.

It also causes Fades to always get Carapace. In fact you could say that Fades are more or less balanced around having Carapace: it's just assumed you have it.

Perhaps we can make regeneration on Fades good again? Say, give regeneration during combat?

    I can remember myself that there was a thread where somebody had the idea to keep the last bullet in the barrel while reloading the clip because it's more realistic.

    In the end it all comes down to balance rather than realism....realism on <b>aliens(!)</b> .....

    Carapace? i feel just fine with 50 armor, just don't rush against shotguns. catch them from behind, give one/two swipes and blink away

    Carapace prevents you from being 2-shotted. Thus, it's a must on a fade unless you're playing against people who are terrible shots in which case it doesn't really matter what upgrades you have if any.
