I'm an armor tanker.. before I go any further I want that to be known in case this is not intended.
According to ferroscale plates description they do not alter your speed.
However when looking earlier as I switched a ferroscale plate out for an armor repper I became slower. I was like wtf, armor repair mods make you slower o.o
But upon further investigating I noticed it was not the armor repair module that made me slower, it was the removal of the ferroscale. Apparently if you have any module that does give a penalty to speed with armor and a ferroscale plate on, your overal penalty is reduced. Take off the ferro and your speed becomes slower. This is because the 0% is getting averaged in with the % reduction in speed from other plates. so with 3 enhanced armor plates , at 15% reduction in speed + 2 ferroscale ( doesn't matter what lvl ) at 0% each, your speed reduction is now 5%+5%+5%+0%+0% / 5 = 3% reduction.
I tried this on my gal pro logi earlier. It's base speed is 4.7ms , with the 3 enhanced plates no ferro my speed is 4.15ms, once adding the 2 ferroscale with them it becomes 4.48. Quite a nice boost I must say.
When using 2 enhanced plates + 3 ferroscale your speed only drops to 4.68
This is epic news to me as an armor tanker, and I hope it is meant to be that way and description just doesn't let you know that well..
If this is already widely known, and I am way late on finding out.. my bad , feel free to call me a scrub noob
also. I suck at maths.. so that might not be how it works, but they do decrease the speed penalty and by doing so increase your speed.

I thought that's what I said :p
sad to find out is a bug. how do they not see this stuff :\
I never bothered to look because it says does not affect speed lol |
