Best me in speed, I dare you.

The best solution I can find was:

Logistics mk.0
1 complex armor plate
1 enhanced armor plate
2 complex armor repairers

Armor: 449
Armor Repair: 17.5
Movement speed: 4.64
Sprint speed: 6.75
CPU: 140/512
PG: 40/102

Reactive plates just suck in general. I would never use this fitting as I'd rather be slower with more armor repair, or less armor repair and a TON more health.

The only real advantage to using them in mass quantities is the amount of health they provide while not slowing you down a ton. The problem with it, is that you end up using a huge amount of fitting space just to be slightly faster. Of course, using ferroscale would be better at having more health, and even faster speed, but you wouldn't have much armor repair at all.

Thanks for making a legitimate attempt. You're the first.
Since I have the suit you've used, I'll edit this post to meet the challenge some time after the server is back up.

Edit: For beating your speed, the best I managed was 3complex ferroscale and a complex rep.
+ 18 CPU
-11 PG
+0.2 sprint speed
-16hp
-2hp/s
The biggest pro would be the PG reduction.
The biggest con is the repair speed.

But like you said, that speed bonus is minimal when you compare the potential bonuses elsewhere:
Two plates & two reps =
+6 CPU
-18 PG
-0.47 sprint speed
+32hp
+3.5hp/s

The only real con here is movement speed. With the exception of that, a reactive fitting is beaten in all areas bar the negligible 6CPU.
These stats were also calculated at lvl3 skills. If they were done at lvl5 the reactives would fare even worse.

BUFF REACTIVE PLATES!!!!!!!!!

I know someone that has more than 700 armor on a Gallente Scout suit. Try and top that.

Why make this thread? Reactives suck, they aren't worth using. You get more armor and more rep amount using any combination of reps and normal plates. /thread
