What does this mean for existing components? I have nearly completed some robots (at full price to get the components so far) and if I finish it after this economy change I will have slowly upgrading gear that I spent nearly full price to get. Will you triple all current components at least? Or will you simply steal 2/3 of the value?

Legendary pilots are nerfed because they only get their unique ability with ONE robot. When that robot becomes obsolete like they all do eventually you then have a pilot with 1 LESS skill than other pilots.... and the skill is not really better than normal skills.

Hopefully Pixonic realized this mistake and gives the unique ability in ADDITION to the normal skills. (i.e. one extra skill for a specific robot)
