Why the hell would CCP add a "shield repair gun" when shields already TRUMP armor. I take it you missed this bit Quote:status: Good idea, we can add this, but after we balance armor vs. shield tank first. I saw it, the problem is even if shield v armor is balanced, a "shield repair gun" would take that balance and throw it out the window. It's a complicated area, all we can do is wait and see. A infantry shield transporter could be interesting addition if done right.
Cat Merc and I actually discussed an idea for a "Shield Kickstarter", if you will.
You lock onto a friendly target, and it causes their shields to start regenerating instantly, even if they were taken down completely.
That way you can remotely support shield tankers, but how fast they recharge is still dependent on their fit. |

Given you don't know how the balance will be done, you are assuming a lot.
Assuming is all anyone does around here. |

And here comes someone who has a far simpler idea that's less complicated and better than probably any other suggestion. Nice on, man. |

You mean like how the Tac AR was the only one to have a major magazine increase between the ADV and PRO tiers?
It's just sad how horrible armor tanking is right now.
Unless you're a vehicle user, in which case the bugged 3x rate Armor Repairers are the only way to avoid getting blapped by AV. |
