5hp/s is too high for a blanket bonus from a skill, even if it's a massive SP sink.
.2 hp/s | 1 hp/s at level 5
.3 hp/s | 1.5 hp/s at level 5
.4 hp/s | 2 hp/s at level 5 | equal to 1 STD armor rep
These seem more reasonable. I love having passive armor reps, but making a skill that gives a blanket bonus of a Complex Armor Repairer to all suits is a bit much.
I see this bonus as more of a "I didn't fit any armor reps to my suit cus I'm a shield tanker, but I took ~20 damage to armor during that last fight! Oh no!" "I'm a REAL Heavy so I stacked all Armor Plates, but now I've been damaged and my logi isn't with me! Now what?" "I'm a super sneaky guy whose stacked Profile Dampeners in my low slots so I couldn't fit any armor reps but I got shot, now I'm running around with super low armor behind enemy lines!" than anything else.
This would let people who aren't armor tankers, people who couldn't fit armor reps, and people who rely on logis for reps still get healed, but at a super slow rate so they can't hide behind cover in a firefight and pop back out 3 seconds later with full armor. (or even enough to make a sizable difference in the firefight)
So giving the skill a low amount at level 5 would stop it from being able to turn the tide of battle, but still help people in the long run if they're willing to skill into it.
Armor reps are very useful, even when they're insanely small amounts. I've only got 1 fitting that doesn't have an armor rep, even my shield tanking fits have a MLT BPO Armor Rep to heal me up in between firefights in case I lost my shields before I killed them.
I'd say make 'Dropsuit Armor Upgrades' the only requirement, but give it a high cost, that way Shield tankers and other people who don't want to skill into 'Armor Repair Systems' or 'Armor Plating' can still get it without skilling into something they wouldn't really want/need.
It'd be a buff to both armor and shield tankers. Armor tankers could get it for that 1 extra hp/s on top of all their other reps. Shield tankers could get it so they don't need to waste a low on a MLT armor rep or risk running around with half armor because of a firefight 5 minutes ago.
