MK2 Re-balance

Part 1: The problem

While MK2 bots are nice, they don’t really create any interesting gameplay by being better at everything than their MK1 counterparts. These new MK2 bots address this problem by not being complete upgrades in every way. For everything they gain they will lose something as well. The role of these MK2 bots will be more specialized than their MK1 counterparts, often with less total fitting slots in exchange for increased bonuses. Each bot should have bonuses and slot layouts that support its role but don't make its cousin bots obsolete for said role. We will only be covering combat bots for now, we can give ewar bots special roles after the combat situation is resolved.

Part 2: New Roles

Light Bots
Covert Ops - Fast scout bot with the ability to operate a masker and detector at the same time. Has no weight penalty on speed for fitting modules. The ultimate bot for keeping eyes on someone. Balanced because of proximity probes, walls and teraforming.
Evasive - Fast bots with a very small hit size and immunity to demobs and explosion damage. Perfect for taking on bigger targets in small numbers.

Assault Bots
Stealth - Fast high masking assaults
Sniper - Long range skirmishers with high damage low defense and medium speed.

Mechs
Assault - Fast medium range damage dealers with reduced utility and ability to sustain damage
Bunker - Extremely resilient tankers with reduced utility and the ability to do consistent damage.

Heavy Mechs
Artillery - Long range glass cannon snipers. See the sniper role but bigger and far more expensive.
Command - Bonus to signal detection and nexus module trading reduced damage for a MONSTER tank.

Part 3: Examples

Before you read:
Light combat bots will need to be buffed with a 3/2 and 2/3 layout respectively for them to make sense with the MK2 variants I am describing here along with other changes such as an increase in locking range.
Also I will only be covering pellistal bots here as that is all I have played for a long period of time.
