With the oncoming penalty to shields will this encourage use of the Shield Regulator modules in lowslots on shield suits while discouraging armor suits to use shields at all with their already low shield regain stats?


As of before it really wasn't too much of a deal but if these modules over power the penalty and thus become a great / necessary support module Dual tanking could be a thing of the past (or at least slow it down).

Even if a Caldari suit wants to put on one extra plate for defense (no problem with that) this might encourage use of other modules in the lowslots for Caldari units such as range enhancement (total skills and one complex and you can see +20 meters, which is very nice believe it or not), code breakers, Profile dampers Etc.

If this were the case using these eWarfare type modules in Lowslots along with keeping your distance from the Gallente, which is now possible thanks to the introduction of the Caldari Rail Rifle, then DUST players can finally experience the Caldari play-style (which is in no way CQC oriented at all) .

If things turn out right in a perfect world we will now see Caldari suits playing their unique play style while armor being discouraged to fit shields entirely.



As a former EVE player and I don't believe in dual tanking outside of Minmatar vessels so I'd be glad if this killed Dual tanking and added the introduction of Racial play-styles.


but alas, we don't live in a perfect world.
