That was already pointed out. I was thinking primarily of battle titans
when I wrote the list, so I agree it should be backed off to +1.

is enough.

Well, Imperators and Mega Gargants are going to pay twice as much (if bought
outright) than anyone else, and a +4 bonus is a pretty small thing compared
to their starting DC. I see your point about them surviving more often, but
+4 really is a pittance for them.

I think they may need a +2 to survive, considering how easily their
holo-field goes down once it is penetrated. I believe this is a playtest
matter.
