Sounds like a free complex armour repper at proto whilst still leaving 4 low slots available.
I don't understand why you are complaining about this. It will most likely be the suit of choice for lone wolf heavies.

Well, Caldari will have an advantage when it comes to many quick engagements in a short frame of time.
Gallente regeneration means that the armor will actually regenerate without additional modules, while Caldari armor stays gone if it's shot off.
So Gallente is more self-sufficient, but Caldari is better at chaining engagements.

A free complex armor repper would be 5hp/s.
That's a free enhanced armor repper, and it's honestly not that absurd considering the shield HP/s that Caldari are getting.

Scout is 50, Heavy 30, so we can assume that assaults would have 40hp/s.

You do understand that it's a 1 second delay right?
By the time you finished reloading your assault rifle, the Caldari would regenerate 60HP, more with rechargers.

No, it comes from EVE.
Amarr are traditionally heavy duty armor tankers, loving their plates.
Gallente are more regenerative armor tankers.

With 1.8, Amarr seem to have higher base armor than Gallente, and they're not dual tankers anymore.
Gallente have a tiny built in repair.
So it seems like they're trying to match EVE, but they're not doing a very good job at setting them apart.

Yes.
As I said - Better at chaining engagements.
An armor tanker will inherently have more total HP, though and the natural HP regeneration means that an additional armor module can be added without losing the ability to regenerate without a logi.

Edit:
By the way, am I correct in my observation that armor reppers have no rep delay? It seems to me like they work consistently even under fire.
Not that it would make much of a difference with the kind of dps that is thrown around...

Gallente has more lows=more armor. I dont understand whats wrong, especially because the gallente resistance bonuses are greater tahn amarrs

Well yes we are regen tanks now. The Gallente Scouts are best about the regen because they have the least health to work with. Heavies will have less regen but they have more HP so that works just fine.

It wouldn't make sense to have the scout suit NOT have the highest regen stats.

So... Does that mean Gallente are dual tankers with favoritism to armor?
Since Amarr took the heavy duty armor tankers title, that leaves Gallente with regenerative armor tanking...

But 1hp/s on a Gallente heavy doesn't quite yell "REGENERATIVE ARMOR TANKERS" like they're supposed to be.
And since scouts are getting 3hp/s, we can pretty much say with confidence that Gallente mediums will get 2hp/s.

Shocking regeneration right there!

And before anyone says something about armor repairers, I don't see a difference in effectiveness between a Gallente armor rep and an Amarr armor rep, nor do I see a difference in effectiveness between a Gallente plate and an Amarr plate.




Anyway, I'll adapt regardless since I will stay Gallente no matter what, but just something I felt like pointing out.

Edit:


I'm not arguing that the change is wrong.
I'm arguing that if you want to change it, do it right.
