So far the only use I saw is either incredibly low damage or absolutely bugged shooting, as in - 2sec charge and reload for every shot of Ogris and trying to shoot past the range of Phage(at least he zoomed it).

Oh, they also like to cuddle up like kittens, so they are a big "no-no" for Defense\Survival with infested when you are using AoE weaponry.

They are cheap, x10 ones, but they die like flies if you lose sight of them. Anything past that is so useless that... well, game was playable prior to this little patch, these spectres changed nothing.

Perhaps if they indeed received some skill support(and not just primary skill), actual scaling to the mods installed in weapons\frame(hence the requirement of conclave rating), MUCH more polished shooting, as well as proper utilization of primary\secondary(like Ogris for groups, marelok for running and shooting).... well, THEN they might start to make difference. I don't see that even in Force spectres, and I ain't popping 100k for that.

So yes, they are a failed concept, but as I said a few posts below - they are an unnecessary concept. Don't have stuff to sink, don't have to sink.
