Flying guardians.

Is it just me or they are they way stronger than most ground ones? I'm in one of the starting optional areas and it plowed through a setup of menders, 4 paralaxes and about 50 scatters all using metal glass for ammo. I killed it but it decimated me and I couldn't stop the other air force waves and eventually just got overrun. That was an ungodly large difficulty spike. I had 16 builder things too and the most the enemy destroyed before that was 1 scatter just from sheer focus fire. Like, I'm fine with waves getting harder but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I don't really get how I could stop that thing efficiently since it just flies over any obstacle anyways. I had to setup another 25 scatters later down my metal glass line just to kill the damn thing.

Edit: I get guardian waves are supposed to be hard, but I had no idea the spike in difficulty I got. It was threat level low lol. None of the waves ever even got close to decimating my base, yet this flying guardian decimated not only my huge frontline of AA, but then proceeded to annihilate all my ground turrets which were all setup using silicon. I had no way to recover from that. I get losing and all that but my god, that was like going straight from the starting enemies in dark souls to the Nameless King lol, just decimated everything.

Also, it would be nice if you could build a structure or command or something for builders. I get you can have 4 follow you but when my 16 died to the boss, they all immediately just flew into him while trying to rebuild something after they got built. Maybe if I could have gotten a group of them together, I could have rebuilt myself up in time but nah, they just constantly suicided into enemies while trying to rebuild stuff.
