Is it just me or is the sentinel hardframe body and the AI pilot more of a liability than asset?

The minotaur and the drone are in my way about 60% of the time. They always want to be right in front of me.

Get into battle and tell me again that they are a liability.

LOL. wot he sed.

Wait until you see the hardframe curbstomp sentinels. It's hilarious. It's a beast.

All ground-walking companion creatures, drones included, since Setinel have a habit of constantly getting in your view. It's annoying as hell. Can't scan new minerals because my bovine companion's butt always gets in the way. I turn left and it hurriedly repositions itself as if maikng sure I look at it's bum some more.

The expedition reward drone can't turn properly, so it constantly trotting around with the same aim as above. Try standing in place with it summoned, then when it stops moving, rotate yourself like 5 degrees either side - it will frantically do what I said. In non-combat part of the game, which is like 99% for me, companions are nothing short of annoying and certainly not in the least bit helpful.

I have, and it's at best a distraction while I mow them down with multitool weaponry :/
It barely does anything and rarely fires at anything.

It's an absolute liability when exploring, and you can't dismiss the thing or turn the pilot off without uninstalling the tech. Which is what I've done and that's three inventory slots taken up, just in case I decide to install it again.

Maybe there is something wrong in your set-up with the mech. And you can dismiss it without install the tech.

They added a quick menu (X) option to disable the AI. Which I disable when not in combat.

OP, if your mech isn't helping, post a screenshot of his tech modules so we can analyze what you have.
