The difference is apparently in stats, health/shield, possibly damage. As said in Specters of Liberty comments - they differ in level. So as level scales, so do the stats. Since you can give the same overpowered loadout to every specter - I suppose Cosmic will hit considerably harder than Vapor.

For people who complain about costs - are you really that stupid? Who told you to build them? Did the level plank rise? Is bringing a spectre mandatory now? You don't have to build even Vapor spectres, why are you wetting your pants over Cosmics?

The Cosmic Spectre is a tool to deploy for Conflict defense for obese alliances like Eclipse to prevent anyone who doesn't have invulnerable frame(Trinity/Valkyr) from having any chance of damaging their rail. Or - it's a showoff for those who already sit on millions and can have endless credit boosters. It is NOT a standard and PLAYER-USED Spectre.

Force/Phase Spectres could be considered an option for Conflict or as assistance for certain missions where you don't have personal stats, like CC or damage, but even they aren't your permanent assistants.

Vapor - now that can more or less qualify for the x10 supply pods, in terms of crafting costs. They can be deployed at your convenience, and if they are not good enough - build better or don't build at all.

With missions being basically either coptering through exterminate/capture and long term/CC-dependant survival/defense - what would you need a specter for? To die, while he catches up with you? To distract mobs that have to attack Absorb or get into Vortex?

Specters is a form of unnecessary pet/assistant, and a money/resource sink. It's not a weapon that has some shitsick cost and is required to be build for mastery and dick size.
