After this point, a Kheldian can far outstrip other Archetypes in terms of damage and defense...

This is the problem. Through testing, it's shown that a kheldian in human form can NOT surpass their teammates in damage and defense. I think one of the biggest problems is that the -30% is being applied to base damage, which has a major effect on the bonuses provided by damage buffs such as SO enhances, while the spatial link bonus is not being applied to base damage. The result is the link bonus is far weaker than intended. As for defense, I can't say having slightly less HP than a scrapper, no defense or mez protection, and requiring at least six teammates with fully slotted shields to hit the 85% res cap surpasses tankers or scrappers in defense. The other archetypes? Sure.
