Yes eve uses highslots for cap warfare and a few other mods and weapons. Shields go mid with speed mods, some e warfare, among other things.
I've never used more than 3 enhanced because it slows me down so much i cant jump over a 6 inch curb on the side of the road.. Armor repairs are completely useless. And I'm pretty sure the ferroscale equivalent in eve gives hp percentage, not a small set number.

You even armor tank bro? Kidding lol, I find armor repairers very useful, even before armor plates had their buff in 1.4 I never went without at least 10HP/second and it works great, mainly because you can get armor and shields back at a reasonable rate, armor coming back constantly while shields stop any damage from being taken.

Yes i do, One armor repper should be at least ten 10 by itself, gallente are repair tanks.
in eve you rep armor in battle not after. Or an active armor repairer and a capacitor on my suit so I can turn it on and rep at a high amount.

I don't do shield because it isn't passive. Not sure what bcos doing there.
A maxed caldari suit should be able to tank somewhat like a drake.

Buff Shield extenders moderately so Dual-tanking isn't necessary to get HP around Armor Tank w/ dmg mod levels. 45/60/75 seems good. And slightly nerf dmg mods. 2.5/5/7.5 is what it should be IMO Because you Wanted to be Something your Not.

A maxed caldari suit should be able to tank somewhat like a drake. I hate when people bring up Capacitor and Active tanks in DUST. If it works like the Shield booster on a Shield HAV, then cool. But the idea this is is just a way to sy "we're more like EVE, we have a place!" It'd be just a needless distraction to manage, where the HAV version is there to just jump the health up a bit, and restart the shield regen. And the old HAv version worked because A) Not everybody Could deal damage to you B) You can quickly Disengage and C) You have a long ass time to run it and go. Having a sustainable Booster that makes you 3-4 times harder to kill that lasts longer then 5 seconds is very game breaking unless it has drawbacks, or requires another persons input (Ubercharge in TF2, for example), adn then having to recycle it at the end of the cooldown just distracts you from the point of the game. Having a EVE style Cap System would make any item similar to what you say, that can cycle endlessly, extremely OP. Extremely. Because you Wanted to be Something your Not.
