Summary	0021137: Tamed Macrophage seems like too good of a deal
Description	The Tamed Macrophage you can buy from the Zenith trader seems like a steal for the value you get. For 280.5K you get 4.5m health, good weaponry, self-healing, only uses 500 energy, etc. The Scrubbed Aberration (150K) and Scrubbed Abomination (250K) aren't far off in price and can cause nanocaustation, but their combined health and shields are far, far lower and they cost considerably more energy. If nothing else, the disparity in strength values is telling. Included a combined screenshot for ease of reference.
