Now your messing with cooldown numbers

Generally we have stacking penalties, in the case of the 3 hardener gunlogi it doesnt really apply since you do turn them on in sequence but you just because you do have one on all the time doesnt mean you are unkillable but puts you in a better situation but that is due to the fit but you cant sonic speed or use dmg mods or a scanner or booster but its the drivers choice

My problem is this, its ment to be a sandbox game and with an idea like this its does throw the sand out of the box because you are being punished for fitting it how you like

Its like saying this for infantry, if you put on more than 1 shield extender you will get less shield HP added with each mod after the 1st one, so it will go from 66 to 50 to 33 for example when it doesnt happen

Now if cap is ever added would the penalty still apply? for example you max out the cap support skills and are able to perma rep 2 hardeners but the 3rd you can only pulse so when that is turned off do you still have the 141sec cooldown penalty? along with the stacking penalty where it gives you less resistance on that 2nd/3rd mod so then instead of having 1 penalty you get 2 because you choose to use more than 1 mod

It doesnt seem to fit the sandbox way because you are being told what you can and cant fit and also makes the cooldown skill utterly useless for the hardeners

Honest question. How are you taking out decent/good tanks/tankers solo?

The only method I can think of is tank traps with REs. Which while decent, still relies on a tanker mistake.

There is no real way for solo AV to kill tankers if tankers play smart.

With one hardener you can negate most AV for a period of time, with three you can do it constantly.

The reason I was thinking about this was due to the very conversation we had in IRC on this, the fact that limiting it would remove that element, you can build it how you want but you can only have one of these, which isn't cool. Don't treat Infantry the same as us Taka, they're not invincible against most players on the field :P

Cap as in Capacitor? To be fair then if it happens then CCP are going to have to rework the system a little bit and these posts on balance don't apply.
