All I want is Dig and Protect on the same Kubrow.

Until then 6/7 of my loadouts are sticking with Sentinels. I love Kubrows but without these on the same animal at the same time, I get more actual benefit from my Sentinel. With maxed Vitality+Redirection and it takes a dozen bombards in very rapid succession to kill my Sentinel...and then Regen kicks in and boom, it'll take a dozen more before I really lose it. Outside of T4 Defense, my Sentinel is as close to indestructable as I need it to be. I mean really, the idea that Sentinels are fragile is like everything else in Warframe - true, until you mod it.

So I need a reason to do this. Dig is invaluable when I'm bringing my Frost to solo T3 defense because I don't have to leave the globe or burn a dozen energy restores to get energy, but for nearly every other situation, Dig alone doesn't justify beinging along my Kubrow. The damage is just non-existant, and the other abilities are all things my Sentinel already does either equal or better. So all I'm asking is Dig and Protect on the same Kubrow. How hard can that be, DE?

And DE, please rework Protect to work EXACTLY like Guardian, not just vaguely similar to it. Replenishing 300 shields, no matter how frequent, is always going to be inferior to replenishing ALL shields. If I'm using my Mag on Pluto with 1200+ shields, even before Shield Transferrence, replenishing 300 shields is a waste of time. On the other hand, when 2 Corpus techs and a nullifier round the corner and 1200 shields melts like butter, replenishing them ALL at once will save your ass. Many times.

I mean I love these things but come on...the ability restrictions are just silly. If I can get the same abilities or better with a Sentinel, and they have no upkeep cost, then something is seriously unbalanced here.
