Ku Shala Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 548	Posted - 2013.09.24 16:55:00 - [1] - Quote So why does a prototype shield extender do less for a shield tanker than a militia armour plate? does anyone even use STD or ADV extenders they seem pretty pointless +22 really ?
Vesago Ghostcore Rejected Clones 22	Posted - 2013.09.24 18:00:00 - [2] - Quote Shields naturally regenerate... quickly.
Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 3431	Posted - 2013.09.24 18:35:00 - [3] - Quote The armour plate doesn't regenerate naturally, at all, and carries a speed penalty. Meanwhile, shields have no penalty and regenerate extremely quickly.
Ku Shala Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 549	Posted - 2013.09.24 18:44:00 - [4] - Quote well thats a half truth some armour plates do regenerate, shields also only have one type and increase your scan profile. Make more shield types one with a reduction to sheild repair rate with more +hp

Make more shield types one with a reduction to sheild repair rate with more +hp The armour plates which regenerate have higher fitting requirements than shield extenders, still carry a speed penalty, and give less HP than an equivalent shield extender. I'm not sure what you mean by shields only having one type, unless you mean that there aren't plates/ferroscales/reactives, but I can assure you that it's more of a blessing than a curse. Shields do not increase your scan profile. Buffing shields... You realise that shields were by far the dominant FotM just a couple of weeks ago? For more information on armour vs shields and why armour is where it is now, I suggest reading this thread: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=87752&find=unread
Ku Shala Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 549	Posted - 2013.09.24 18:52:00 - [6] - Quote here is a better perspective of my problem with shield extenders 3 x STD sheild extenders = 1X complex sheild extender 2X STD armour plates = >1complex armour plates or 85x2 =170 and 1 complex is 135

You can see that as both good and bad. It's good in that the lower tiered gear can be effective, and it's bad in that it suffers at higher tiers.

deepfried salad gilliam Sanguine Knights 4	Posted - 2013.09.25 00:07:00 - [9] - Quote More shield types! One with built in regulator, btw you can run a full set of reactive plates,their not that hard to equip and no speed penalty Especially on a logy suit
Ku Shala Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 550	Posted - 2013.09.25 14:01:00 - [10] - Quote I feel the hp on the feroscales and shield extenders should be more similar since they are practically the same thing although slightly dated Arkena Wyrnspire's post was very infomative

And why would you run them on a logi suit. My Proto Gallente Logi already has 5 HP/S. I'd rather fit 5 Enchanced plates than 5 reactives.
Kristoff Atruin Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1094	Posted - 2013.09.25 14:46:00 - [13] - Quote The problem isn't that shields are too weak. The problem is that the applied DPS of every weapon doubled or tripled when 1.4 was released, making hp nearly meaningless. When you can get hit with 1000 damage in less than two seconds of course the shield extenders seem pointless. This makes armor the only thing that can come close to making a difference, and then only barely.

Why? Because the shield extenders regenerate inherently. The armour plates do not. To get an armour plate to regenerate, you need to sacrifice another tank slot which you could have used for plates, thus reducing your overall HP compared to shields, especially if you fit enough to get a regen good enough to compete with shields.

I litteralty double checked before I posted 0.0% movement penalty And because then you'd have more hp and better regen than a shield tanker
