Also starting to look like the roles are reversed because

Armor repairs being passive means very slow recharge and long down times.

Shields being passive, but with boosters and injections means faster downtimes and full repairs.



So, whereas armor before used active repair and gained HP back quicker, and shield used passive repair to gain shield back slower


Armor is going to use passive repair to gain hp back slower, and shields will use active repair to gain hp back quicker (plus their built in passive regen)




Will armor repair rate lend it self to sustaining damage in combat? Or then what is the advantage of armor in 1.7

Yeah, unless forge dmg took a hit then DS will still be cannon fodder.
and I didn't see the numbers on large rail turret damage but that could be the biggest pain in teh *** that makes every pilot quit Dust because if its OP vs DS, we won't see a fix for another decade.

look at the equipment a pyphon can equip
yer not much with out wuring the HP

STD=1450
ADV=1688
PRO=1885
one shot will bring down your shields with the crap light extenders we have in 1.7, no matter what you cant know when a rail will shoot.
rails need 300m range or damage dropoff near 200m or 250m to be balanced AT ALL.

Fit 2 complex shield hardeners, a basic heavy shield extender, and a PG mod. This will give you >6k ehp for 1min with a 15sec cooldown or 12k for 30sec.

Do hardeners still work in the way that they run for so short of time, you need to predict when the un-rendered red line rail tank at 600 meters is going to 2 shot you 2 seconds
