So to give the Shield Tankers something to use to regen with why not make it so that the Caldari equipment act as local Shield Boosters to anyone within their bubble? It'd make more sense lore wise because it's Caldari to begin with, it addresses the lack of an infantry based Shield Booster, and it would further differentiate Armor and Shield Tanking because Armor gets the convenience of movement while repping and Shield gets the convenience of "deploy-and-forget" type equipment that heals multiple people within its area but obviously you're restricted to that particular area.
Thoughts?

Only if they completely and utterly remove the ability to repair armor with nanohives.
If not, there WILL be a nanohive that reps both armor and shields.
And it WILL be OP as hell.
Get over it. If you don't play to win in FW, then you're playing for Caldari. -Patrick57

Sure but remove or nerf the self repair of shields, or give armor suits passive repair or a huge buff to repair modules. |

I may be wrong but the idea behind shields was that you can enter battle a lot more quickly than armor.Like you can take a few shots, recharge your shields and enter battle again.
Having what you suggest will just make it a more effective tanking than armor. But I could be wrong. |

Yeah, that's sort of the direction I was leaning towards from the get go.

I'm not sure if this would be necessary, in Squad play when you're in a team environment regardless I don't think the Armor downside really effectively acts like one because you'll always have a logibro there to rep or a hive nearby to top off your armor in a pinch. The fact that armor can't naturally regen itself is only an issue in solo play and only if you're just not carrying a triage hive on you.

OP that is until it runs out of nanites.

Pfft. I use Wirykomi Triage Hives on my Commando. I drop two right next to eachother and then sit through an onslaught of enemies as I drop every last one of them while near invincible with my 140 armor/sec repairs. Only time I get in trouble is when someone is smart enough to throw a flux.

You said shield tanker, lol. Or did you mean someone with suits highly invested in shields? Sorry I'm an AV specialist sick and tired of tankers (tank drivers) always whining their tank is not OP enough... even after the recent ridiculous buff.
