I don't think this would be a good idea. First we already have a shitload of low slot modules, so shield suit with high slots would loose some flexibility in their fittings. This would limit High slot heavy suits to just extenders and (maybe) rechargers..

Secondly currently we have slow high HP suits that can dish out a lot of damage but severely lack mobility and regen and we have fast high damage suits that lack suitability but with great mobility and high regen. And this works well (need some tweaks but ingeneral this works pretty well)

With your suggestion we would have high HP high Danmage suits with fantastic regen (shield regens get buffed for shield tankers in 1.8) that are also fast on one side and either super low HP high damage dealers with little to no regen and moderate speed or high Hp suits that lacks in damage output, regen and speed.

That would be more than a little unbalanced.

Then every utility module in the low slot should move to high slot. Can't have literally everything. 1 mod for all of them? You're a master troll. There are some mods in the low that should be in the high and vice versa, as well as some missing mods, but swapping ALL of the lowslot mods is both illogical and goes against lore.

Yes because that's exactly what we're paying. Damage mods for CPU extenders, PG modules, Kin cats, cardiac regs, codebreakers, dampeners, range amps, etc'. I am now fully convinced you are trolling me, good day to you feline. Sinboto - The True Blood Minja Forum Warrior level 4 STB-Infantry (Demolition)

That would be more than a little unbalanced. Did you just ignore half of the quoted post and picked at the parts that suited you? Anyway....as I said there are two things wrong with shield/armor balance at the moment: Damage mods being in the highs. And Lack of highslot mods. These two things make for unbalanced combat, armor doesn't have options (some mods that seem to belong on the highs are in the lows as well-such as stamina mods) and shield are worth little with a low EHP/Damage suit. Mobility means very little in combat with the range and accuracy of our weapons, as a scout I know this too well, not only that but the penalty isn't so high that it has a crippling impact vs the massive (in comparison) health gained by plates. Speed=damage Tank= survival Basic balancing concept that is applied in our 'mother' game to great effect, though admit ably not perfect at this time.
