Merc's stuff makes them so slow it isn't even fair

So you call ERT, casually expecting to get a XRT as always. But no. This time you get something that you think could help! MERCS! They run onto the ship ANDD! Get hit by a neurotoxin spitball and slashed to death. Why didn't they dodge you ask? Their suit makes them so slow it's not even worth the call. Even the most robust of players will die when it takes you 6 seconds to move one tile. A lot can happen in 6 seconds. But if you take it off, you're still screwed since you have no armour. It's just like.. what are you supposed to do? Opinions please.

This seems like the round where i was a Elite Spitter 133 and neurotoxined and almost killed (if not for the sudden lagspike everyone had, that i was paranoid of and ran away) when there 2 mercs and both had shotguns and a pistol, custom-built and double barrel

Merc armor is Insulated vs Space and Pressure, And very armored ontop of that. So it slows you down a lot... You can ditch it for marine armor if you want more speed.

Sure it's armor but its not good enough for the cost that it makes you pay. Marine armor isn't always going to be available, especially because you're practially always in the middle of a fight when the xrt ERT* is called. And yes, it was that round Mr.J. And yes, I'm salty that I only dodged your spitter once.
