Well Vil's already started posting here so he might have decided he does need to revamp the archetype- but I almost played using the Magitek Operator Archetype in his current game.
He might have just been telling me this stuff so we had an answer to work with on the short-term, but if you were planning on running one these would be easy rule clarifications to run with.
First: The Magitek Armor's statistics were what an Automaton of an equal level would be(it was supposed to have higher Str and lower Dex due to being large, but exact numbers were never reached before I switch to Warmech).
Second: Levels in the Magitek Pilot Prestige Class stacked with Engineer for the purpose of determining the strength (HD, Str/Dex boost, Armor Boost, Magitek Upgrades, etc) of your Magitek Armor, though they didn't stack for anything else.
Like I said, these were mostly decisions that were reached for the sake of a quick answer, but they're easy to work with and keep the PrC useful even for an Engineer, if you really like that Magitek flavor. The Base Class on its own is still pretty sweet.
