As it stands, yes you can invest a huge amount of time, effort, research, and gems, and turn any decent combat Pretender into an SC-which won't be very useful by the end of the game. I'd like to give the option of purchasing a god chassis which can take out independents on it's own, repeatedly, and allow for quick solo expansion, as a viable strategy and without ending up with a badly crippled, worse than useless Pretender.

Have you tried GK? It's not even that pricey and pretty useful in the late game for forging and summonning of what otherwise would be inaccessible.
