Hybrid Weapons, you need to elaborate on.
There are two types of Hybrid damage. Railguns move at the speed of f*cking light, AND are covered in energy. This makes them Kinetic Hybrids (-10% Shield/+10% Armor)
Plasma moves relatively slow, but is super-heated to hazardous levels, meaning it won't punch Armor as much, but Shields will take a beating (+10% Shield/-10% Armor)
Also, with your 40% PASSIVE Resistance on Extenders, that makes any weapon other than Lasers pretty much non-viable. That means that my ~300 Shield immediately turns into ~600 Shield when I'm facing a Rail Rifle, or a Submachien Gun.
I'd say AT MOST, release a non-stackable module that gives a 10 percent bonus on Complex.

Nope.
Railgun is Kinetic. There is NO plasma in Railgun.
Plasma is, well, plasma. THOSE are metal shells with hot stuff inside them.
Railguns do more damage to Armor, less damage to Shields.
Plasma Weaponry does more damage to Shields, less damage to Armor.
The Rail Rifle, Forge Gun, and Sniper Rifle are all Kinetic damage.
Shotguns, Assault Rifles, and Plasma Cannons are all Plasma damage.

Ok, and do you know how much 40% is? It's an awful lot. An impossible lot. Vehicles are OP ATM because of the Speed + Resistances. The resistance they have while their modules are on is 60%. If you were to add this in, it would need to apply to vehicles as well. This would give Shield Vehicles, WITH hardeners on, 100% resist, making them insanely OP.

I think your main problem is that you're not using Shields correctly. Shield-Tanking is meant for popping in and out of cover, and not being in a fight very long. If you need to, run away, but what you need to do is stack Shield Regulators and Extenders/Rechargers to reach maximum efficiency. But again, it requires you to use cover and run away if you have to. People think Armor is better though because people think that all tanking is meant for prolonged engagement. Wrong. Only armor is. Armor is supposed to tank EVERYTHING for a very long time, but recharge very slowly and run VERY slowly. Shield tankers are the exact opposite of that.

Right, but 40% isn't that far off from 60%. Just lower your numbers and you're maybe fine. I suggest 10%-15%, which is a ton.

If you buff Shield HP, no one will think Armor's useless. Because Armor Tankers can still stack Damage Mods without sacrificing main tank. Shield Tankers can't. See what I'm saying? Don't give Shield Dropsuits a super OP resistance, give them more HP. Currently, there's no reason to use Enhanced Extenders. Here's the numbers I have.
STD - 40 HP
ENH - 60 HP
COM - 80 HP
There. Shields aren't "underpowered" even though they're fine as they are now, and Armor is still viable. Look at those numbers. Now look at my signature. I know what I'm talking about.
EDIT: Also the Swarm nerf was completely fine. They just need to raise the numbers a tiny bit, but other than that, I can finally fly a dropship without immediately dying, so I'm fine.
