Excavator Health Needs to Scale

[NinthAria]

This has been a problem for a long time now, but all this Kuva Lich business has highlighted, again, the fragility of excavation drills. As the title suggests, excavators really need to scale up their health with the mission level so they don't die nigh-instantly at high levels. For solo players especially, it's very difficult to maintain the constant defense required to avoid exposing excavators to the ~5 seconds of sustained fire required to kill them in Kuva Lich-level missions, while also traipsing about for power cells to make sure they stay charged--the frustration from which is compounded further on missions where there's a minimum cryotic requirement before evac. Rescue hostages, defense targets, mobile defense consoles, and even the excavators used for Plains of Eidolon/Orb Vallis bounties already do this; at this point it's an issue of consistency at the very least.

Hoping you guys consider this as you move forward with U26 changes. As a predominantly solo player, I'd love to not dread things like sorties, Void fissures, Kuva Liches, etc. showing up on excavation nodes.

over 1 year now, they don't use their product properly so they don't care

This should have been implemented in the game a long time ago. At a certain point an Excavator gets destroyed almost instantly, just ridicilous in my opinion. A small adjusment like this will improve this mode.

Yes myself and other clan members have discussed this issue , we just put it down to DE making it a team effort with maximum effort and use of the warframes that of which frost/gara, reverant/nyx, nidus/inaros, with rhino/valkitty would be the answer to thining mobs and protecting asset.
