where do I propose existing pilots fixes? Just thought no one flies IG-88A, cuz if there's a 2-ship roster against you, it's basically a single Shield Upgrade (and that's only if you're lucky), so the B/C duet totally overwhelms the A's ability, so I thought of something like this:

Each time an enemy ship at Range 1–3 is destroyed, you may recover 1 shield (up to your shield value).

The reason for this is that brobots actually have much more possibilities to destroy enemy ships than merely attack them directly:

1) bombs;

2) Arc Caster cannon extra target;

3) Tractor Beam cannon throwing the enemy ship onto an asteroid or into a position where it cannot stay within the play area by any maneuver;

4) Anti-Pursuit Lasers;

5) Feedback Array, which is "instead of any attacks", so it's not an attack itself;

6) Black Market Slicer Tools;

7) IG-88D (Crew) + anything (Assault Missiles as an example).

And in this way each brobot can restore 1 shield on destroying the same enemy. Probably the wise player will anyway concentrate fire on a single brobot, so the other one won't make any profit of it, but this suddenly makes IG-88A comparable to other Aggressor options in tournaments, especially as a counter against swarms.
