So will both versions of the missions be available. perhaps though the pillars of ice and flame. some people may start to feel nostalgic for the old blue robots and thugs.

Multiple empowerment stations will stack the buffs that are offered (by design). If we made the buffs as good as players "expect" right out the gate, they'd be WAY too good when stacked.

Something about the wording you used here confused me a little and i was hopeing for some clerifacation. When you say that "Multiple empowerment stations will stack the buffs that are offered" It could be taken to mean one of three things.

1.) the more stations you have the better the buff becomes. You buy it once and it buffs by a base value mutiplied by the number of stations you own.

2.) If you have multiple stations you can buy it once from each station to stack the buff but you can't buy the buff multiple times from the same station

or 3.) You only need one station but you can buy the same buff over and over untill it's usefull.

can you clerify how this Actualy works

Further explanation - from the Devs.

Looking at a Lieutenant, it works out this way vs a target with no Defense:
Even Con = 0.5 * 1.15 = 57.5%
+1 = 0.5 * 1.15 * 1.1 = 63.25%
+2 = 0.5 * 1.15 * 1.2 = 69%
+3 = 0.5 * 1.15 * 1.3 = 74.75%

If the target had 20% Defense,it works out this way:
Even Con = 0.3 * 1.15 = 34.5%
+1 = 0.5 * 1.15 * 1.1 = 37.95%
+2 = 0.5 * 1.15 * 1.2 = 41.4%
+3 = 0.5 * 1.15 * 1.3 = 44.85%

in this example you have compared a person who has defense in issue 7 vs a person that does not have defense in issue 7. What i havn't seen is how this will effect the rest of us. Can you post some numbers to compare how this will effect my blaster. Lets say i was fighting a lutenant in issue 6 with no defense at all VS the same lutenant in issue 7 with no defense at all. Am i more or less likely to get hit under this new system
